Synopsis

Jack finds out that being the Red Ranger also means being the leader of the team. The A Squad Power Rangers are sent into space to fight the Troobians when Gruumm launches an attack in a nearby nebula.

Gruumm's assistant, the evil child Mora, helps him by drawing evil creatures and bringing them to life.

Comments:
  • Syd has a stuffed elephant named Peanuts.
  • With A Squad sent off to fight Gruumm's forces in space, B Squad has the responsibility of protecting Earth.
  • The Power Rangers seem to be a more rank oriented team in S.P.D. than they have in the past.
