Plot[]
Part 1[]
Nick and Leanbow are at Root Core. Nick: I don't get why you want to do this? We've battled enough. Leanbow: We aren't battling. We're training. But Nick feels he is much stronger and can handle what the Master may throw his way. Leanbow challenges Nick to show him. Leanbow goes into Ancient Mystic Mode while Nick morphs into the Red Ranger. Nick and Leanbow battled. Leanbow makes his point, when he delivers a strong blow to Nick. Nick lands on the ground hard and demorphs. Leanbow tells Nick he is not ready.
Meanwhile, in the Inner Sanctum, the three remaining Terrors, Itassis, Sculpin, and Black Lance bow before the Master. The Master chooses Itassis to destroy the world. Itassis is preparing to leave, when Necrolai stops her. Necrolai tells Itassis that she knows the world needs to be destroyed, but she begs her to spare Leelee who is there. Itassis tells Necrolai that she has been a faithful servant and will grant her request. Necrolai is knocked out of the air by Sculpin. Sculpin tells Necrolai that her daughter choose to go live with the humans and will suffer the same fate.
At the Rock Porium, business is dead. Leelee, Madison, Vida, Chip, and Xander are bored and Toby doesn't know what to do. Finally a lone customer walks in and begins to browse. She is scared away by Phineas trying to help her. The teens Morphers go off, and Vida, Chip, Xander, and Madison race out the door. Phineas tells the teens not to worry, he'll take care of the store. this causes Toby to bang his head on the counter.
In the city, the five Rangers encountered Itassis. The Rangers and Itassis battle. Despite their best efforts, the Rangers cannot defeat Itassis, not even Red Ranger as Red Dragon Fire Ranger. Itassis wants the Rangers to quit, but they refuse. The Rangers point out they thought Itassis only wanted knowledge, and that she does not have the courage to refuse the Master. Itassis realizes the Rangers' words are true and vanishes.
Itassis has returned to the pit. Black Lance and Sculpin quickly find her and know she did not do as she was suppose to. Necrolai warns Itassis, but Itassis tries to be courageous. Itassis tells Black Lance and Sculpin they have a choice, but they do not listen. Black Lance and Sculpin battle Itassis and knocked Itassis to the ground. Necrolai fears the worst for Itassis. Elsewhere, the Master decides to take matters into his own hands. The Master decides to take care of the Mystic Force himself, starting with the Light.
On one of Root Core's balconies, Nick trains. Nick glances up as he gets an uneasy feeling. A dark shadow, an outline of the Master, creeps closer to Nick.
Madison, Vida, Chip, and Xander entered the Mystic Realm, which looks like a disaster has hit it. Leanbow and Udonna are already there, helping the creatures put together their home. The head elf spots the four teens and tells them they did not want them. Udonna and Leanbow are confused. Nick arrives and his eyes reflect a purple glow of dark magic. Nick tells them how the Master gave him dark magic and he can't believe his father gave it up. Nick reveals it was he who destroyed the homes in the Mystic Realm. Nick then morphs into a familiar sight, Koragg's armor. Leanbow morphs as well.
A seal appears and carries Nick and Leanbow to Root Core. The battle continues inside Root Core, with Nick (Koragg) and Wolf Warrior wrecking Root Core in the process. Nick never lets up on his father as they battle. Eventually Wolf Warrior falls out of the tree. Koragg does the same and they enter the Mystic Realm once more.
Wolf Warrior lands on the ground hard. Vida, Chip, Xander, Madison, and Udonna raced over by are stopped by Koragg casting a spell. Nick (Koragg) wants to finish the battle with his father, before turning on his friends. Wolf Warrior then demorphs and tells his son to go ahead. Leanbow is still confident his son is within Koragg's armor. Koragg hesitates and then the dark magic leaves. Nick collapses in his father's arms. Nick is sorry for what he had done and has a better understanding of what his father had gone through.
In the Rock Porium, Toby counts his almost empty register. Toby comes to a painful decision. Toby tells Phineas, as best he can, that his choice is going to have to let him go. At first Phineas does not understand. Leelee tenderly watches Phineas as he finally understands what Toby is telling him. Phineas removes his jacket and walks up of the store. Neither Leelee nor Toby feel very good.
Back at Root Core, Daggeron starts cleaning up some of the mess. Udonna is tending to Leanbow's wounds and Clare is helping as well. Leanbow congratulates Daggeron for training Nick well, maybe a little too well. Daggeron said that it wasn't his training that turned Nick into Koragg, it was the power of the Master. Udonna gets a bad feeling that something terrible has happen. Moments later, the Snow Prince lands in a heap at Root Core. Udonna, Daggeron, Leanbow, and Clare race over. The Snow Prince tells them that the Master has destroyed his realm. Mystic Mother cast a spell and sent him to warn them. Udonna becomes alarm. Without the Mystic Mother, Udonna feels good magic doesn't have a chance.
Daggeron, Leanbow, Udonna, and Nick are inside Root Core. Daggeron and Leanbow have decided to go the snow realm and find out if the Mystic Mother is still alive. Nick wants to come as well. Leanbow tells him he is to take care of things here. Udonna walks up to Leanbow and tells him it seems they are always parting. Leanbow promises Udonna that this time he will return. Daggeron and Leanbow leave not right after Daggeron gave the lamp to Nick to keep an eye on Jenji. Nick tells his mom he will never be as good as Leanbow. Udonna replies that is because he is not his father. Nick's Morpher goes off, and it is Xander telling him there is big trouble in the city. Nick races out of Root Core. Udonna is worried about her son and husband.
In the city the Rangers form the Manticore Megazord and face down a giant Black Lance. The Rangers and Black Lance battle. Watching from below is Sculpin. Sculpin is confident dark magic will win. White Ranger tells Sculpin the other Terrors were destroyed, why would it be different for him. White Ranger tells Sculpin that he has a choice. Sculpin tells the White Ranger she sounds like the traitor, Itassis. White Ranger and Sculpin battle.
Meanwhile, Solaris Knight and Wolf Warrior arrive in the snow realm. Solaris Knight and Wolf Warrior search for Mystic Mother, but find no sign of her. The Master appears. Solaris Knight and Wolf Warrior battle the Master.
Back in Briarwood, the Rangers continue their battle with Black Lance and White Ranger continues her battle with Sculpin. things are not going well for the Rangers. The Rangers are knocked out of their Megazord by Black Lance and demorph on the ground. Sculpin has delivered a powerful blow to White Ranger. White Ranger lands on the ground and demorphs as well.

The Master attacks them and Daggeron takes the hit. Daggeron lands hard on the ground. Leanbow vows he will avenge Daggeron. Leanbow and the Master battle.
In Briarwood, Sculpin attacks the teens. Jenji jumps in and takes the blow meant for the teens. Jenji vanishes and the teens and Udonna are upset over this loss. Sculpin walks over and grabs Udonna, telling her she is coming with him. Sculpin then instructs Black Lance to destroy the Rangers. The teens race over to stop Sculpin, but Sculpin has already vanish with Udonna through a seal. Black Lance approaches the teens, ready to destroy them.
Part 2[]
Black Lance approaches the teens, who are still on the ground. Black Lance: Now you will fall. Just as your mother has. Nick becomes angry and stands up. Nick: Now you’ve made me mad.

Fire Heart uses his wings to protect Red Ranger from Black Lance's attack. When the smoke clears, Red Dragon Fire Ranger emerges. Red Dragon Fire Ranger and Black Lance battle. Red Dragon Fire Ranger asks his friends if they want some of the action. Madison, Vida, Chip, and Xander morph. The Rangers battle Black Lance and destroy him. The Master descends from the sky. The Rangers demand to know what happen to Leanbow and Daggeron. The Master releases Daggeron, still in Ancient Mystic Armor, and Daggeron falls to the ground in a heap. Blue Ranger races over to Daggeron's still body, very upset. The Master then release Leanbow, also in Ancient Mystic Armor. Leanbow lands in a heap on the ground as well. Red Ranger runs over to his father, who is also still. The Rangers are very upset. The Master grabs the Rangers and lets them have a look at what the world will look like when he is in control.
The Rangers, still in the Master's clutches, are transported to a world where the Master has control. The world is bleak, dark, and without any hope. The Master drops the Rangers onto the ground and tells them they will be dust after he takes their powers.
The Rangers go into battle and form the Manticore Megazord. The Rangers battle the Master. the Master simply eats their powers. the Rangers are stun when the Master takes the magic from the Manticore Megazord. The Zord is no more and the Rangers are on the ground once more. The Rangers retreat to a small cave. Vida can see Nick is visibly shaken and asks him if he has given up. Nick does not answer. Xander stops Nick and tells him to answer Vida's question, and Chip tells Nick to answer that also. Nick has given up, he feels there is no way they can defeat the Master. Madison gets very angry with Nick. Madison tells Nick that he is their leader and after all they had gone through, he is not giving up. The Master enters the cave, and the teens are knocked to the ground once more.
Nick finds it within himself to stand up against the Master. Nick calls on all the good magic left in the world and in him. Nick becomes the Red Ranger. Red Ranger battles the Master and knocks off his armor. the Master is furious. Red Ranger uses his weapons to connect to the Master and demands that the Master take them back to their world. Madison, Vida, Chip, and Xander raced up to the Red Ranger and formed a chain.
The teens are returned to their own world, but they no longer have any magic. The Master casts a powerful spell at the teens, but it is stopped by Clare. The Snow Prince and Clare arrive. The teens are happy to see them. Clare tells them that the Mystic Mother has made her a full sorceress. The Master scoffs, he had destroyed the Mystic Mother. The Snow Prince tells the Master that when before his spell hit her, Mystic Mother turned herself into energy. Later, Mystic Mother returned to her normal self. As the Mystic Mother said, it's not that easy to destroy her. The Master tells them he will return to the pit.
Udonna arrives and tells him he has no pit to return to. Itassis also arrives and the Master tells her that he thought Sculpin had destroyed her. What happened instead was Necrolai restored Itassis, as Itassis was the only one to show her kindness. When Udonna was taken to the pit, Necrolai made sure she was okay. Itassis and Sculpin battle and Itassis destroys Sculpin.
Itassis then battles the Master and the Master retreats. Everyone is rejoicing except for Nick and Udonna who are crying.

Leelee arrives and tells her mother that she can use her powers to restore them, pleading with her to bring the two back. Won over, Necrolai uses her magic and Leanbow and Daggeron are restored as is Jenji. Necrolai falls to the ground as everyone rejoices, especially Nick who has his father back again. Everyone is happy until they hear Leelee's voice. Leelee is worried about her mom, who is still on the ground. Necrolai's body is suddenly engulfed in a golden glow.

The Master is ready to battle. Nick and his friends are determined as well, although they have no magic. the Mystic Mother tells them they always have magic, they just need to know where to find it. Madison and her friends are puzzled by this.
Just then, Toby arrives with numerous citizens from Briarwood while Phineas arrives with numbers of villagers from the Mystic Realm. Toby and Phineas have talked to the people and told them it was not each other they had to fear. Instead they needed to work together to fight the true evil, the Master. Toby tells the teens they have fought all year for them, now they want to give something back to them. Toby and the citizens of Briarwood, clasp hands with the villagers of the Mystic Realm. They surround the teens, Udonna, Daggeron, and Leanbow, all chanting they believe in magic. A golden glow surrounds the group, which restores everyone's magic allowing them to transform into the Mystic Force Rangers once more, ready to destroy the Master once and for all through the power of good magic.
The Master demands the Rangers' magic, and the Rangers decide to give him what he wants and start to channel all their magic into him, initiating what would become his death. Soon thereafter, the Master has had more than his fill, but the Rangers continue knowing their magic is infinite and can never be destroyed. The Master has had enough and demands they stop, but the Rangers don't let up until the Master finally cannot take any more and implodes, permanently ending both his reign of terror and the darkness menace once and for all. When the Briarwood citizens celebrated the Master's destruction and the end of the darkness menace, Mystic Mother told the viewers that the darkness was destroyed by light, and should that ever return, their magic must stop it; the teens emerged from the smoke and everyone cheers for them.
Work is being done in the Mystic Realm to help the villagers get their homes back in order. Itassis, Daggeron, and Jenji are walking together. Itassis asks Daggeron if he can teach her more about courage and he tells her it would be his honor. Jenji tells them courage is his middle name. Well, Marcus is his real middle name. As Jenji talks, Itassis and Daggeron sneak away.
Just outside of the Rock Porium, Nick is getting ready to leave. Madison walks up to Nick and his bike. Nick tells her he has a lot to tell his adoptive parents. Madison wants to know if he has a reason to come back. Madison lists all their friends and then admits that she wants him to come back for her.

- Cameron Rhodes as Matoombo (voice, uncredited)
- Geoffery Dolan as Koragg, The Knight Wolf (credits only)
Errors[]
- Geoffery Dolan was credited as Koragg, even though Firass played Koragg. Koragg had a deep voice in past episodes while in this series finale he had Nick's voice. It is possible that he was originally supposed to have a deep voice but it was changed later.
- Heavenly Saint Lunagel was seen with the Mystic Mother in the Mystic Palace when she warns the Master to leave instead of the Snow Prince.
Notes[]
- In Part I, Udonna mentions that the Mystic Mother was known as 'Rita' in the 'dark days', heavily implying that she is indeed Rita Repulsa. This is also alluded to due to her resembling Rita's original appearance and complaining about a headache (as well as her dialogue being poorly dubbed).
- Mystic Mother's (and, by extension, Rita's) inclusion in this episode was intended as a tribute to Machiko Soga who passed away in 2006 following a long battle with pancreatic cancer.
- In the first episode of Mystic Force, there was no indication that Briarwood knew about the existence of magical beings, only that the forest appeared haunted. However, it's possible that this was a deliberate decision on the town's behalf in an attempt to forget.
- This episode proves that belief is the source of magic, at least GOOD magic. (Which would make greed and other dark emotions the source of dark magic.) The denizens/citizens of Briarwood and the mystic realm all pour their belief into the Rangers, granting them back their powers.
- This is the only known time that a monster/main villain has been destroyed by causing it to overload with power, as the original footage of the destruction of Octomus the Master's Sentai Counterpart was never adapted.
- The destruction of Octomus the Master's body began at the bottom of his body and mouth, his left leg, and ended with an explosion of the whole body. This was the reason why the original footage of the former's destruction in the Magiranger Finale was never adapted, owning to the fact the excessive fire from the destruction of the latter's Sentai Counterpart was replaced by the Sparking effects of Octomus' body destruction.
- Also, the celebration after the death of Octomus the Master replaced the whole scenes from the Magiranger Finale, which did not celebrated the death of the latter's Sentai Counterpart, but the the original footage of the Mystic Rangers' Sentai Counterparts turning around the death of Octomus the Master's Sentai Counterpart was also never adapted, and the Mystic Rangers jumped instead to the Sparking effects of Octomus' destruction of the whole body. Unlike the Magiranger Finale that shelved the celebration of the end of the Infershia threat, Toby, Phineas, and the rest of the Briarwood citizens celebrated the death of Octomus the Master and end of the Morlocks menace forever.
- This episode marks the final appearance of Rita Repulsa as Mystic Mother.
- So far, this is the last series where the Rangers' powers were granted by magical sources.
- This is the only time the Red Ranger changes from his default form to Red Dragon Fire Ranger.
- Part 2 marks the only time all eight Mystic Force Rangers appear together morphed.
- Out of all the Mystic Force Rangers, Xander is the only one who would appear out-of-suit following this episode (appearing in "Once a Ranger").
- Final appearance of Sculpin, Black Lance, Manticore Megazord and Octomus the Master.
- This is the last episode to feature John Tui in the intro.
- This also marks the final appearance of the Legend Warrior Mode until "Making Bad" of Power Rangers Beast Morphers where it only appears in one of the clips.
- This is the first series finale in which not one, but two Rangers are actually killed (Daggeron and Leanbow), but revived not long after. This would be repeated in Power Rangers R.P.M.'s "Danger and Destiny" with Gem and Gemma. It is also the second series finale in which a Ranger is revived, the first being Power Rangers Lost Galaxy's "Journey's End" with Kendrix Morgan.
- This episode reveals that Nick and Madison still have romantic feelings for each other.
- Notably Nick's new leather jacket is white with blue and red stripes on it, further suggesting his bond with not only his parents (white and red), but Madison (blue).
- This episode marks the final unmorphed appearances of Nick, Vida, Madison, Chip and Daggeron. Xander would appear in "Once a Ranger". The whole Mystic Force Rangers would appear morphed in "Legendary Battle".
- It also marks the final appearances of Udonna, Leanbow, Claire, Leelee, Necrolai, Phineas, Toby, Jenji and Octomus the Master.
- This is also the last Power Rangers episode to feature Peta Rutter before her death on July 20, 2010.
- This is the only episode where the Mystic Force Rangers appear helmetless outside of the morphing sequence.
- Mystic Mother’s spell on the Master is similar to “Gojika! Hollow Mirage!” from Magiranger.
