"Power Rangers: Defenders of Earth!"

―Rangers announcing their arrival.

Wormhole is the thirty-fifth episode of Power Rangers S.P.D., serving as a crossover with Power Rangers Dino Thunder.

Synopsis

Gruumm travels into the past and recruits Zeltrax in his plan to conquer the Earth before the formation of S.P.D.. The S.P.D. Rangers must follow him and teamup with the Dino Rangers in order to stop them before the wormhole closes and they're trapped in the past.

Continuity and Placement

Power Rangers S.P.D.: This episode takes place a few weeks after the events of the previous crossover "History", and occurs sometime between the events of "Resurrection" and "Insomnia" due to Mora's behavior indicating that she has not been brainwashed yet.
Power Rangers Dino Thunder: This episode takes place sometime after "The Passion of Connor" due to the Triassic Battlizer being present, and before "House of Cards". The events of "History" do not occur until almost a year after the series ends.

Plot

Emperor Gruumm is confronted by Omni to prepare for his arrival on Earth. Gruumm takes the Terror through a wormhole 21 years into the past. Kat alerts the Rangers of Gruumm's temporal trip into the wormhole. At Reefside High, in 2004 - Conner, Ethan, Kira, and Trent witness a spaceship hovering over the school. Gruumm has arrived in his ship, the Terror to take over the Earth without interference from S.P.D. Commander Cruger sends Jack, Bridge, and Z on a mission to follow Gruumm through the wormhole. The Dino Rangers go into the woods in search of the Terror. Rather than finding the Terror, they are confronted by Zeltrax and the Tyrannodrones. Jack, Bridge, and Z travel into the wormhole in search of Gruumm. As the Dino Rangers fight Zeltrax, the Terror appears and beam him aboard. Gruumm insists that Zeltrax defeats the Power Rangers, and Zeltrax assures him that it would be his pleasure. Jack, Z, and Bridge reintroduce themselves and inform the Dino Rangers of Gruumm's plans. Meanwhile as the wormhole closes, the other S.P.D. Rangers prepare to join up with the others before the others are trapped in the past. Meanwhile, Tommy appears as the Black Ranger in a battle against Zeltrax. The Dino Rangers teamup with the S.P.D. Rangers to fight Zeltrax, Troobians, and their Foot Soldiers. Zeltrax leads an army of three monsters created by Mora, all three levels of Krybots, and the Tyrannodrones. Gruumm and Mora watch as the rest of the S.P.D. Rangers show up and his forces join together against all 12 Rangers. Tommy and Doggie meet for the first time and lead the Rangers against their opponents. Kira, Syd, and Z team up to display girl power while Sam and Trent work together using White Ranger power. Bridge, Ethan, and Sky display teamwork Green/Blue Ranger style as the Black Rangers, Tommy and Cruger, defeat Zeltrax just before he retreats. Jack and Conner both activate their Battlizers to take out Mora's creations. The Power Rangers assemble the Z-Rex Blaster and the Canine Cannon to finish off the Foot Soldiers. Before the S.P.D. Rangers return to the future, Doggie erases their and the Dino Rangers' memories.

Notes

Although Anubis 'Doggie' Cruger erases the memories of himself and the other Rangers, Tommy and Sam aren't present and remain with their memories intact. And then the Dino Thunder teenagers saw the S.P.D. team anyway, all the students of Reefside High still remember the Terror Spacecraft and Zeltrax would also have his memories intact.
This episode was aired early in Canada before being realized as an exclusive DVD episode for SPD.
Tommy does not appear un-morphed in the episode due to Jason David Frank being absent from filming, while his morphed lines are voiced by Jeffrey Parazzo. Frank stated that was not offered to return due to Disney not willing to pay to fly him over to New Zealand.
The first Orange-Head Krybot Jack fights uses orange painted Chrono Sabers, from Power Rangers Time Force. In fairness, the Igaroid in episode 30 of Dekaranger uses orange painted Double Vectors.
When the Rangers are outnumbered by Zeltrax's army, Cruger quotes Mark Twain: "It is not the size of the dog in the fight; it's the size of the fight in the dog".

Errors

Bridge explains to the Dino Rangers' that their memories were erased during the events of their previous encounter, but timeline-wise the event would not occur for the Dino Rangers for at least another year.
Trent's morphing call is the default "Dino Thunder, Power Up" instead of his unique "White Ranger, Dino Power".
When Conner calls out ready to Ethan, Kira, and Trent to morph, the four of them have their Dino Morphers already on their wrists, but in the next shot, Conner has his Dino Gem turn into the Morpher.
