Two for One is the nineteenth episode of the second season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
Synopsis[]
Tommy and Kimberly go on a date but it turns into a nightmare when Lord Zedd's new Pursehead monster uses a special mirror to freeze them. As even Zack falls for this, Zedd creates his special Lipsyncher monster which is even too strong for the Red Dragon Thunderzord. Has Zedd finally created a cosmetic catastrophe capable of clowning the Power Rangers?!
Plot[]
Kimberly meets Trini at the Juice Bar prior to a date with Tommy. Her mother has lent her the purse she had when she first dated her father, and Trini lends her some lipstick. Richie serves them and nervously manages to arrange a study date with Trini. Bulk and Skull enter with what they insist is a "Power Ranger detector", although as it leads them away from the two girls, and straight past Tommy and Jason who have just entered, it clearly isn't working very well. Tommy realizes his watch has stopped and hurries to get changed for the date.
Lord Zedd observes Tommy and Kimberly's date and notes that, with an extra Power Ranger, he needs an extra monster. He tells Goldar to send down a group of Putties to take Kimberly's purse. Tommy and Kimberly fight off the putties but one of them slips away with the purse, leaving it and the lipstick some distance away. Zedd forms the purse into the first monster, Pursehead. Tommy and Kimberly morph but Pursehead freezes them with a mirror. Zedd forms the lipstick into a second monster, Lipsyncher.
Zordon contacts Jason, Zack and Billy at the Youth Center, and they teleport to the Command Center with Trini. They are quickly briefed, and Billy and Trini deduce all Pursehead's weapons are based on the contents of Kimberly's purse. It is decided that Jason will challenge Lipsyncher, Billy and Trini will work on a way to free Tommy and Kimberly, and Zack will go to the park to help them. Jason and Zack morph, but Zack is immediately frozen by Pursehead as well. Meanwhile, Bulk and Skull's Power Ranger detector leads them into the lake.
Billy and Trini have to overload the Command Center's power in order to get enough processing ability. Jason fights Lipsyncher and, despite beating hit by a sonic blast, manages to wound her by scarring her face, enraging her. Annoyed by her vain personality, Zedd causes Lipsyncher to grow, so Jason summons the Red Dragon Thunderzord. However, he comes off worse in the ensuing battle. Alpha draws attention to this: The Thunderzord has also overloaded.
Billy and Trini finally finish the device; they morph and head to the park. Trini keeps Pursehead busy while Billy free the others. Zordon tells them Jason needs help, so Tommy sends the others to assist and battles Pursehead alone. Pursehead lassos him with dental floss, but Saba comes to his aid, blasting the monster. Tommy rallies and defeats Pursehead, who changes back into Kimberly's purse. Zedd remains confident that Lipsyncher will still defeat the other Power Rangers.
Zack, Kimberly, Trini and Billy summon the other Thunderzords, who attack Lipsyncher. The Red Dragon Thunderzord is also re-energized and rides the chariot of the Thunderzord Assault Team before striking and destroying Lipsyncher. Zedd blames Goldar, Squatt and Baboo for failing him.
Back in civilian dress, the Rangers meet by the lake and Tommy gives Kimberly her purse back. Bulk and Skull emerge from the lake and announce their detector has led them to the Power Rangers...a group of small children.

Errors[]
- When the Putties appear, the hillside has changed, due to stock footage from The Mutiny Part 2.
- The initial morph sequence was shown out of order, placing Kimberly before Tommy.
- When Zack flips after he morphs, he is already shown with his Power Axe. But after this, he does not, until he runs up to Kimberly and Tommy.
- Also, the Power Axe is solid at the head where it is typically hollow.
- When Zedd grew Lipsyncher to giant size, she still has the cut on her face, but it is gone by the time the Red Dragon Thunderzord enters the fight.
- Lipsyncher's scar appears and disappears throughout the course of the Zord fight.
- The Tyrannosaurus' roar is extremely faint when Jason summons it.
- Despite using stock footage of Jason calling for the Red Dragon Thunderzord, Paul F. Rosenthal still does the voice-over. Walter Jones and Thuy Trang do their characters' voice-overs in the stock footage of Zack and Trini calling their Zords.
- When Tommy picks up Kimberley's purse after defeating Pursehead, the crew's reflection is visible off his visor.
Notes[]
- The opening credits have been altered to feature Tommy's new status as the White Ranger.
- When Jason throws his Power Sword at Lipsyncher and puts a cut on her face, blood can be seen coming from the wound. This is one of few times in Power Rangers an enemy is shown bleeding.
- The fight with Lipsyncher is the only time any of the individual Thunderzords other than the Red Dragon Thunderzord attack a monster directly outside of Megazord mode.
- Trini's line, "You'll have to do better than that if you wanna beat us!" is recycled from "Food Fight".
- This episode marks the first time a Sentai monster, Pursehead, has appeared entirely in American footage and no Sentai footage of the monster was used.
