Ep 34. The Green Candle (1)

"The Green Candle" is the 34th episode of the first season of the popular children's show, Power Rangers. This episode follows the continuation of the storyline that began in the previous episode, "Return of an Old Friend (2)," in which Tommy, the Green Ranger, is under a spell that is slowly draining his powers. The episode begins with Tommy's friends gathering at the Angel Grove Youth Center to discuss their plans on how to save him from losing his powers completely.

Meanwhile, Rita Repulsa is plotting to use the power of the Green Ranger's candle to revive her evil Green Ranger, who had been defeated in a previous episode. The Rangers become aware of Rita's plan and try to prevent her from stealing the candle, but they are unsuccessful, and Rita manages to take the candle.

Tommy is devastated when he realizes what has happened, and he is determined to get the candle back. He goes to talk to Zordon, the Rangers' mentor, to ask for his help. Zordon tells him that there is no way to get the candle back from Rita's grasp, and that he must find inner strength within himself to overcome the spell that is weakening him.

Tommy is not willing to give up without a fight. He goes on a mission to retrieve the candle from Rita's castle, but he is intercepted by Goldar, Rita's loyal servant. A fierce battle ensues, with Tommy struggling to hold his own against Goldar. Tommy manages to defeat Goldar and retrieve the candle, but it is too late. The candle has already burnt down to the halfway mark, and Tommy's powers are fading fast.

Back at the Command Center, the Rangers are trying to come up with a plan to save Tommy's powers. They decide to see if they can recharge the candle with positive energy from the Youth Center's annual charity race. The race is a success, and the candle is stabilized, but it is not enough to fully restore Tommy's powers.

As a last resort, the Rangers turn to their Zords, giant robots that they can pilot, to try and recharge the candle one final time. The Zords shoot their powers into the candle, and it glows brighter than ever before. Tommy's powers are restored, and he is once again able to be the Green Ranger.

In the end, Tommy is grateful for his friends' help and support, and he vows to never let them down again. The episode ends with the Rangers celebrating their victory and their renewed strength, ready to face whatever challenges lie ahead.

Overall, "The Green Candle" is an exciting and dramatic episode that showcases the resilience of the Power Rangers and their determination to never give up. It is a perfect example of the show's themes of friendship, teamwork, and perseverance in the face of adversity.
