Strange Relations is the thirtieth episode of Power Rangers Dino Thunder. It marks the first and only appearance of the Valkasaurus Megazord, the first and only appearance of the DinoStegazord Ankylo Drill/Parasaur Final Cut, and the final appearance of the White Ranger Clone.

Synopsis[]

Anton Mercer continues to struggle against Mesogog, as he turns one of his projects into the Jade Gladiator. As an imbalance increases in the Morphing Grid, the two White Rangers must finally do battle. Can the Power Rangers stop this new monster? And which White Ranger will win in an ultimate showdown?

Plot[]

While visiting his father, Trent realizes that Cassidy Cornell and Devin Del Valle have come to interview Anton. When Anton begins to feel sick, Trent escorts them out of the interview.

Meanwhile, the White Ranger clone's powers begin to fluctuate. Elsa explains that only one White Ranger can exist and the other one must go.

Anton then transforms into Mesogog who finds a rare plant while trashing his lab which he uses for his evil purposes.

Ethan gets a message from the evil White Ranger clone on his laptop challenging the Rangers to battle.

The Rangers, without Trent, show up to deal with the clone, who calls to take the battle to the Dino Zords, so the DinoStegazord and Triceramax Megazord engage in battle.

Trent returns to Anton's lab when he begins to experience a painful power surge. The White Ranger clone's powers weaken and he loses control of his Dinozords.

Mesogog uses the plant from Mercer's lab to create the Jade Gladiator. Hayley explains that the White Ranger's Dino Gem power can only be obtained by one White Ranger.

Meanwhile, the energy is fluctuating back and forth. The Rangers are alerted to the Jade Gladiator's attack and morph into action.

Trent, the real White Ranger, is heading back to the Dino Lab when he is confronted by the evil White Ranger clone. He morphs and the two look-alike Rangers fight in a battle to the death.

The Jade Gladiator gives birth to a new Deadwood and a new monster named Skortch. Tommy gets control of the DinoStegazord, which then uses the Ankylozord and Parasaurzord to help destroy the monsters.

Trent is victorious and finally destroys the evil White Ranger clone once and for all. He joins the other Rangers as they morph into action as a full team. 

The Rangers combine the Thundersaurus Megazord, the DinoStegazord, and the Mezodon Megazord's axes and Triceramax head in order to create the Valkasaurus Megazord. The Rangers unite together in the cockpit, ready to go into action. The Valkasaurus Megazord surfs down the Brachiozord and uses the hatchet attack to destroy the Jade Gladiator.

Later, Elsa realizes that Mesogog won't accept her failures any longer and he states her only chance would be to strike when he's most vulnerable.

Anton shows up to congratulate Trent for all the good he's done. Trent only hopes Anton will find a way to get rid of Mesogog soon.

Cast[]

Errors[]

  • Trent's full name is incorrectly given as 'Trent Mercer' repeatedly in this episode.
  • It is unknown why Trent didn't use Super Dino Mode when his clone did, even though it did help viewers determine who was who during the fight scenes between the two.
  • Trent's morphing call is different in this episode, in which it was "White Ranger, Dino Power". However, in this episode he uses the same call as Conner, Ethan, Kira & Tommy, "Dino Thunder, Power Up". This mistake would be repeated in Thunder Struck as well as the S.P.D./Dino Thunder team-up episode Wormhole.
  • Tommy referred to the DinoStegazord Cephala Power Punch/Dimetro Saw Blade as a new combination, however it had already been used by Trent in Burning at Both Ends.
  • The final (unnamed) Megazord combination was seen slashing with its axes four times, but the Jade Gladiator was only hit three times.

Notes[]

  • This marks the final appearance of the White Dino Ranger Clone, as he is finally destroyed by Trent.
  • This marks the only appearance of the DinoStegazord Ankylo Drill/Parasaur Final Cut.
  • This episode marks the first mention of the Morphin Grid since Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers.
  • This is the first episode where the Mezodon is activated without Conner having to be in Triassic mode.
  • This marks the final appearance of Thundersaurus Megazord Stega Surfboard.
  • This episode marks the only appearance of the Thundersaurus Megazord combined with both the Stegozord and Dragozord (with attachments and weapons from the Triassic Rover).
    • This formation was called the Valkasaurus Megazord in the toyline, but was simply referred to as 'Thundersaurus Megazord Full Power' in this episode's dialogue.
  • In this episode it is revealed that the Morphin Grid cannot sustain two certain Rangers existing at once for too long. This was somewhat hinted at in the Wild West Rangers episode where Zordon stated that "too much pink energy is dangerous" or in this case an excess of the white spectrum in the Morphing Grid was damaging it.
  • This episode marks the first time Tommy Oliver pilots a Megazord in the series instead of calling the Zords via the Brachiozord.
