Recognition is the seventeenth episode of Power Rangers S.P.D..

Synopsis[]

When evil alien Wootox is brought in for questioning, he escapes by switching bodies with Sky. Trapped in the body of a monster with a voice that can't be understood, can Sky warn the other Rangers before it's too late? Or will Wootox use the Delta Squad Megazord to destroy Newtech City?

Plot[]

RIC brings Sky a ball, but Sky pays him no attention as he's working. The alarms go off and the rest of the B-Squad cadets come into the Command Center, suit up, enter their Delta Runners and form the Delta Squad Megazord.

Kat and Commander Cruger have a hologram of Wootox on display and know that he is a dangerous criminal in a giant robot. The Rangers battle Wootox and have a difficult time and Commander Cruger suits up and uses the Delta Command Megazord to stop Wootox. The Rangers capture Wootox and he is brought to S.P.D.

Wootox pretends to be suffocating but, even though it looks real, Sky doesn't fall for that. Then Wootox suddenly attacks Sky. Wootox has the ability to switch bodies, and does so with Sky. "Sky" morphs as the "Blue Ranger" and fights "Wootox". "Blue Ranger" also makes sure that "Wootox" cannot say anything by destroying the translator around "Wootox's" neck. "Blue Ranger" tosses "Wootox" into the cell. "Blue Ranger" demorphs back to "Sky" and starts searching S.P.D. for the Delta Command Megazord cockpit.

"Sky" walks into Syd's room while she is singing and Syd demands that he leaves. "Sky" does so with a smirk on his face. Meanwhile "Wootox" desperately tries to communicate but the guard thinks that "Wootox" is simply acting up.

In the rec room, Syd tells Z about "Sky" walking into her room without permission. "Sky" walks into the rec room and Z and Syd give him a hard time. "Sky" apologizes and leaves.

Later, a meeting is held in the Command Center with Commander Cruger and the B-Squad cadets. "Sky" isn't paying any attention as Commander Cruger tells them that Wootox had destroyed 50 planets and Commander Cruger tells them to go ahead with the judgment and containment and "Sky" convinces them to do it right now. However, "Wootox" manages to punch the code outside his cell to free himself. The alarms go off with the announcement that "Wootox" has escaped from his cell. Jack, Syd, Z and Bridge go one way, while "Sky" goes in a different direction and is found by "Wootox" who tries to switch back their bodies, but is prevented by the other Rangers who assumed "Wootox" was attacking "Sky" and fight the former, unaware he was trying to communicate with them and escapes.

Jack is suspicious when Sky always wants to go in a different direction than them. Jack, Syd, Z and Bridge search for Wootox but they have no luck.

Meanwhile, "Sky" enters the lab where Kat is working. "Sky" attacks RIC (who growls at him, knowing he isn't the real Sky) and Kat, and she wonders what was going on with "Sky" while discreetly alerting Cruger, who enters and notices that the villain isn't Sky, while "Sky" morphs. The villain reveals that he changed bodies with Sky and Cruger realizes that "Sky" is Wootox. Cruger morphs into the Shadow Ranger. Cruger battles the "Blue Ranger". While outside the base, "Wootox" realizes that "Sky" intends to take over the Delta Command Megazord and rushes back to stop him.

"Sky" finds the Delta Base cockpit and transforms it into a Megazord, much to the other Rangers' dismay. Then "Wootox" enters the cockpit and battles with the "Blue Ranger" before he could cause any damage. The Delta Command Megazord is stopped and "Wootox" and the "Blue Ranger" continue the battle on the ground. "Wootox" gains the upper hand and causes "Blue Ranger" to demorph.

Jack, Syd, Z and Bridge suddenly appear and think, once again, that Wootox is attacking Sky. Cruger arrives and stops them from attacking, telling them that there may have been a body switch, much to their confusion. Jack comes up with an idea on how to see who is who. Jack tosses a ball out and R.I.C. goes to fetch it. R.I.C. initially approaches the "Blue Ranger" and then turns around and drops the ball at "Wootox's" feet. Everyone realizes that Wootox and Sky's bodies have been switched.

Sky and Wootox switch back and Rangers use the Canine Cannon to defeat Wootox. Wootox is arrested and put into a containment device.

Later, Bridge walks into the rec room where Sky is playing catch with RIC. Sky explains that since R.I.C. saved his life, he agreed to play with him until he gets tired. Bridge reminds Sky that R.I.C. is a robot and will never get tried. Sky doesn't have a problem with it until the ball breaks something. Bridge and Sky look at each other and then take off.

Cast[]

Errors[]

  • Bridge could have used his powers to verify which one was Sky and which one was Wootox.

Notes[]

  • Jack uses the phrase "all work and no play makes Sky a dull boy" in the beginning of the episode, a quote famously used in Stanley Kubrick's The Shining.
  • This is the only episode to not feature Krybots.
