Plot[]
The Youth Center is holding a Women's Self-Defense Class. Jason and Tommy are teaching the class to several moms. They demonstrate several defense moves. Jason reminds the class to scream as loud as possible to attract attention. Tommy asks if there are any questions. The class applauds Tommy and Jason. Jason explains the class is about teamwork. Kimberly and Trini walk to the front of the class to demonstrate teamwork to the students. Tommy notes, when they walk they use the buddy system. Jason continues, but unfortunately they are still attacked. Trini uses her defense moves against Jason. Tommy points out, one mistake Trini is making is she's not yelling. Kimberly uses her defense moves against Tommy and eventually knocks him down onto the mats. Kimberly helps Tommy up as the class applauds. Trini continues to use her defense moves against Jason as Tommy lectures the class. See by working together and fighting their attackers, they stay calm and are able to defeat them easily. Remember ladies, two heads are better than one. Trini had knocked Jason down on the mats and she helps him back up. Trini and Kimberly leave as the class applauds.
Rita had been watching the demonstration and she feels a bit sick. Baboo and Squatt are with her as she states, two heads are better than one! Maybe that's the problem with Finster's monsters. They only have one head, so they are stupid. Rita storms into Finster's workroom as Baboo and Squatt keep a watch. Squatt volunteers for an extra head and Baboo swats him. Rita tells Finster, make me a monster with two heads so it will be twice as smart. Finster responds, I have a delightful parrot monster I'm working on. Rita screams, I want it special! Finster replies it is. Finster points to the clay figure as he states, it has one head here, and another down there. Rita likes it. Finster tells her he will have it for her in a jiffy. Rita warns, it better be good this time.
Tommy instructs the class to go home and practice and for tomorrow'. Jason and Tommy walk over to their friends, who are sitting at the counter. Kimberly makes a face when Bulk and Skull join them. Bulk greets them, ready for the self defense class. Jason responds that they are late and class is over. Trini adds that it's a women's self defense class.

Errors[]
- When Finster tells Rita about his "parrot monster," he has a Chunky Chicken sculpture on his clay table.
- Billy gets a print out and tells the others that the Two Headed Parrot was twice as smart due to the extra head, despite Zordon already telling them the same thing.
- Rita complains that all of her previous monsters have failed because they had only one head, but Goatan in "Lions & Blizzards" had two vocal heads and a third on its snake tail.
- The shot where the Rangers call for the Ultrazord is dark and at night despite it being broad daylight. This is a result of the footage being recycled from "Doomsday-part II."
- The shot of the Ultrazord firing and the shot of it after destroying Two Headed Parrot are of the toys and look cheap and fake.
Notes[]
The Zyu2 crouch
- The episode features new footage of the Dino Ultrazord formation sequence, which would serve as the standard formation sequence until the end of the season.
- This episode demonstrates what fans have dubbed the "Zyu2 crouch", where a monster crouches down on the ground after being defeated right after growing.
- A deleted scene from this episode shows Trini and Tommy fighting the monster unmorphed. It can be seen in the released script for this episode.
- A pamango fruit is not a real fruit or food.
