"Why are you here?" Kevin questioned him after letting Mia's brother in. He was confused but pleasantly surprised when he saw him. "You're not supposed to be involved with us."

"Just visiting family." Terry smiled at him.

The truth was that when he saw the sky turn black, Terry decided to visit his grandfather, Daisuke, to ask what had happened.

Terry never knew that the rangers would be there.

"You don't look so good. Are you injured?" Terry asked. "What happened?"

"The missing brides is our greatest concern now. The wedding is coming up and we have to save them." Emily was looking through the archives with Kevin to see which nighlok might have captured them.

She was flipping through the pages with one hand, since the other was resting in a sling.

It was nighttime and the two of them weren't tired yet since they napped earlier. Lauren and Mia were still at the hospital and Jayden never woke up.

"How will we even get a fake bride now that Lauren is injured? We need someone to get captured, but it's too dangerous of a job for someone that's not a ranger."

"Maybe I should just do it." Emily shrugged, only to be reminded that her shoulder hurt from being freshly relocated.

"Not with your shoulder. I've never seen a bride show up to a wedding with their arm in a sling. Also, we can't risk them recognizing you." Kevin reminded her.

"Maybe it's Dayu." Kevin pointed at a paragraph in his book for Emily to look at. "She's obsessed with weddings, brides, and white dresses. She may have kidnapped the brides."

"Lauren already killed her." Emily continued to flip through more pages.

"Right." Kevin continued to search as well.

"But what if I were to put on a disguise of some sort. The nighlok wouldn't recognize me immediately, so there should be enough time for you all to arrive at the scene." Emily tried to reason.

It wasn't like there was any other way they could trick the nighlok. Their time was short and their options were limited.

"And what if they do recognize you? You'll be outnumbered with a bad shoulder and they'll probably kill you like they almost killed Mia." Kevin responded, but his words sounded a bit harsh unintentionally.

"You're right." Emily closed her book. "I don't know what we can do. What other plan could we have to find the brides? We already searched everywhere to find them..."

It felt hopeless.

"Um hey." Terry didn't mean to surprise the two with his sudden presence, but he kind of did.

He had overheard their conversation and gathered the courage to butt in.

"I heard you talking about the bride situation. I've heard about it from my grandpa too. I could be the bride if you want me to." Terry offered.
