Robbie: Lokar!
(We pick up where we left off with the rangers finding out through the viewing globe that the creepy man eying Aisha in the park was Lokar, a powerful foe, all along.)
Tommy: Oh man...
Kimberly: Not him again.
Rocky: Anyone but Lokar.
(Rocky turns to his colleagues, who stare back at him blankly before turning to Zordon.)
Rocky: Who's Lokar?
Billy: Yeah. Actually come to think of it we never really got a full backstory on him.
Zordon: Lokar is a very powerful ally of Rita Repulsa's. However, more than that, he is also her first and only son.
"What?!"
(The rangers react in unison; the veteran ranger stunned that they're just hearing about this now.)
Tommy: You think you could have maybe mentioned that before?
Zordon: You never asked.
Robbie: Wow. So Lokar is her son, huh?
Kimberly: How is that even possible? I mean how could somebody the size of Rita give birth to somebody like that? ...and is this gonna happen to me?
Robbie: Are you just now having second thoughts?
Kimberly: ...
Zordon: He wasn't always a giant head Kimberly. Nor was I. You see, long ago during a heated battle between her clan and mine, we had Rita alone and cornered. We were seconds from finishing her off when her son, then a young but fearsome wizard, leaped in and sacrificed himself at the last minute. Lokar sacrificed himself to continue giving Rita eternal life. Currently, he supports her in his current form whenever summoned.
Aisha: So... if he comes whenever she summons him.
Rocky: Then that would mean...
"AHAHAHA!"
(Rita's infamous shrieking laugh is heard from the viewing globe, coupled with timely claps of thunder.)
Adam: I guess that would explain the silly looking monsters.
Zordon: Do not let that deceive you Adam. Rita is extremely powerful and resourceful. If she and Zedd are attacking earth simultaneously, I do not think our current weapons and armor can contain them.
(Zordon's frankness smacks the ranger team, and it makes them feel completely ill equipped for the first time since receiving these Thunder powers. Meanwhile, down in a dark and dreary Angel Grove the Fighting Flea, the Monstermatician and the Pumpkin Rapper make their way downtown and completely disrupt the PM traffic.)
Monstermatician: Ladies and gentleman! Your school day may be over, but class... has just begun!
(He fires a laser beam from his "pointer" sending it into the sea of cars in a busy intersection. It doesn't hit anyone, but sends everyone in an immediate terror. Many cars drive off, ignoring the traffic signal. Some of whom hit other cars and barely miss hitting pedestrians but it does not stop them. Others abandon their cars in the middle of the streets and run off on foot.)
Pumpkin Rapper: I love a good riot, it's my favorite thing. / I'm gonna wreck this city like Rodney King.
(He picks up nearby trash bin and throws it through a restaurant window. Everybody inside immediately panics and runs for their lives. Watching from above an apartment complex is Rita and Zedd who are sitting on two thrones and joined by their crew.)
