_CAPSULE SUMMARY:_

While the Golden Power Staff is held in stasis by the Zeo Crystal, Tommy heads off on a mission to bring in the top candidate to recieve the Gold Ranger powers. Cogs are sent down to ambush Tommy and this mystery man before they can reach the Power Chamber, but the pair are excellent fighters, and make quick work of them. Upon finally reaching their destination, the recruit is revealed to be the former Red Tyrannosaurus Power Ranger, and original team leader, Jason Lee Scott. His return from the Peace Conference is unexplained, but is mentioned briefly near the end. Anyway, the Treys transfer the power to him properly, and as an added bonus, give the Rangers a gift they've been keeping for quite a long while: The Super Zeo Gems. These are used to create the Super Zeozords, each of which is shaped like a particular Ranger's Zeo Subcrystal.

The Machine Empire has a proper retaliation for this success in mind... or make that MINE. Cogs dig up a super powerful fuel source, called Neo-Plutonium, on the moon, and it's used to coat a group of revived robot monsters as armor. The Super Zeozords come in handy against them, each taking on one of the monsters solo. Soon, at the Youth Center, Jason & Tommy have a bonding moment over some punching-bag sparring, with a hint of why Austin left the show in the first place being underscored in their conversation.

What else happens in this episode? Oh, just a little thing like Rito & Goldar suddenly waking up to find their memories restored to them, as well as their swords and wings (in Goldar's case, at least). The evil pair prepare to gain vengeance on Bulk & Skull for turning them into their servants all these months, but they're needed up on the moon for Rita & Zedd's newest plan.
