I belive these maybe the episodes on this volume.
A-Bridged
Commander Cruger holds a meeting with Squad B. Commander Cruger tells them that Squad A is now considered Missing In Action. Squad B volunteers to search for the Squad A Rangers, but Commander Cruger tells them that they are needed here. Commander Cruger wants them to find a bank robber. Sydney is surprised that there is no description of the bank robber or picture. Syd starts asking questions about the bank robber and makes it into a rhyme. Bridge tells her that it reminds him of his bath book. Commander Cruger calls Bridge forward and asks him if he really has a bath book. Bridge replies that he does and asks Commander Cruger if he has one. The alarms go off and the Rangers morph and go into action. The Rangers battle a monster. During the battle, Bridge is demorph. As the monster runs away, Bridge uses his ability to detect the monster's aura. .The Rangers return to headquarters, but now they have information on the monster. Unable to pronounce his origin, the Rangers name the monster T-Top. Bridge doesn't believe that T-Top is the monster responsible for the bank robberies, but the other Rangers are not convinced. The Rangers are sent to another bank robbery and they try to investigate for clues. A woman, Diane, asks them if they need a witness. Diane gives them a description of T-Top and claims that was the monster who robbed the bank. During the conversation, Bridge is busy using his magnifying glass on Diane and her dog. Embarrassed, Jack pulls Jack to his feet and tells him it's not nice to sniff the dog without permission. The Rangers return to headquarters where Jack tells Commander Cruger about the witness Diane. During the meeting, Bridge is reading a book. The others call Bridge's attention back to the meeting. Bridge tells them how the book he is reading has all this great art work on the cover, but the book is not good. Jack tells him that would be great if they were talking about the book, but they are not. Bridge tries to point out that what's on the outside is not always what's on the inside, but the others don't listen. Bridge asks Commander Cruger if he can continue his own investigation. Commander Cruger tells him he can and tries to recruit one of the Rangers to help Bridge, but none of them want to. Bridge volunteers himself and leaves. An alarms goes off, and the rest of the Rangers morph and battle T-Top once again.
The Rangers have a difficult time with T-Top. T-Top blows apart a building to distract the Rangers and then gets away. Meanwhile, Bridge continues his investigation in his unique way. At times, Bridge uses Boom's help in his investigation. The investigation leads Bridge to Diane's house where he sniffs the flowers until Diane appears. Bridge questions Diane about the various flowers. Diane decides to take her dog for a walk and Bridge joins her. Bridge tells her about balloon animals and tries to blow up a balloon. Bridge pretends that he is out of shape and asks Diane to blow up the balloon instead. Diane reluctantly does and hands the balloon back to Bridge. Bridge makes a balloon animal, but Diane is not impressed. Bridge returns to SPD headquarters and analyzes the air in the balloon. Kat walks in and Bridges asks Kat if she knows that humans breath in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide while plants do the opposite. Kat replies yes - second grade science. Jack is at the command center talking with the other Rangers - he does not have much faith in Bridge. Bridge walks in and tries to defend himself and the fact that T-Top is innocent. An alarm goes off and all the Rangers morphed and leave to battle no other than T-Top. The Rangers used their zord in the battle against T-Top. The Rangers have T-Top bound, but when they use the judgment scanner it reveals that T-Top is innocent. T-Top shrinks and the Rangers leave their zord. T-Top explains that he is a Tri-Ridonian Bounty Hunter after the a Fernovian thief. Diane appears on the scene and declares that T-Top is the alien she saw robbing the bank. Bridge walks over to a car, picks it up, and hurls it towards Diane. The other Rangers are stunned, but Diane reveals herself to be the Fernovian when she reverts to her natural form and slices the car in two. Bridge and the Fernovian battle with Bridge eventually arresting the Fernovian. After the arrest, Bridge and the rest of the Rangers demorph. Jack and the rest of the Rangers want to know how Bridge knew who the real thief was. Bridge starts explaining his investigation, walking as he talks. Bridge turns around and notices the rest of the Rangers have all left. At headquarters, Commander Cruger shows a hologram of Broodwing to Sky, Syd, and Z and explains to them who he is. Sky tells Commander Cruger it would be awful if Broodwing hooked up with Emperor Gruumm. Commander Cruger has a feeling that Broodwing already has. Jack finds Bridge standing on his head and joins him. Jack apologizes to Bridge and tells him he may not understand the way he thinks, but he has his respect.
Sam, Part I
A young boy, Sam, tries to join a group of boys playing basketball. Sam is rejected by the group and instead of giving them their ball back, he uses his teleportation ability to have the ball appear elsewhere. As the group wonders how Sam did that, Sam tells them that they should have let me play. Sam walks away and hears a voice coming from a doll. Mora is using her doll, Cindy Sunshine, to talk to Sam. Sam is unsure at first, but Cindy Sunshine's sympathy over Sam's plight wins him over. At headquarters, the Rangers are relaxing. Bridge is standing on his head and has a thought that he shares with the group. Bridge thinks it's no conscience that they each have special abilities and happen to be Power Rangers. Syd, Z, and Jack all considered the possibility of what Bridge is saying, while Sky dismisses it as simply being Bridge. Z defends Bridge and Sky calls Z a freak. The alarm goes off and Kat sends the Rangers to stop a giant robot. The Rangers morphed and entered their Delta Runners. They tried to take down a giant robot with a monster, Bugglesworth, inside. The Rangers have a difficult time with the robot. Bugglesworth manages to make a building disappear. Within her zord, Z spots Sam and realizes that it is Sam who has made the building disappear. Bugglesworth decides he has had enough and with Sam's help, they disappear. Z leaps out of her delta runner and goes after Sam. The rest of the Rangers return to headquarters where they tell Commander Cruger what has happen. Commander Cruger has a hard time believing a building just disappeared and questions where Z is. Sky tells Commander Cruger that Z went after a small boy that she believed made the building disappear. Meanwhile, Z searches Newtech city for Sam and finds him surrounded by the earlier basketball group of boys. Sam is on the ground as the boys circle him and threaten him is he does not demonstrate his power again. Z walks up behind the boys and with a couple of words, Z has the boys running away. Z tries to befriend Sam and offers to treat his wound on his knee. Sam reluctantly lets Z treat his knee. Z is unaware that a couple of Krybots are literally right above her.
Sam sees the Krybots and stops them using his teleportation ability. Z notices Sam's face and looks above - surprised to see Krybots suspended in mid-air. Bugglesworth calls out to Sam and by the time Z turns around Sam is gone. Z answers her communicator - it's the rest of the Rangers - they found the building. The Rangers walk to the beach, where the building has been found. They are all awestruck at the sight of the building at the beach, except Bridge who is hungry. The Rangers enter the building and find no one inside. Z and Jack pick up a couple of dolls and Z asks Bridge if he can get a reading. Bridge holds the dolls and the reading he receives is that Bugglesworth has been changing people to dolls. The Rangers returns to headquarters and enter the command center. Z and Sky are arguing as they still down. Commander Cruger tells them to stop and asks them what do they know. The Rangers list what they know, a building disappears and reappears and people are being turned into dolls. Sky had taken one to Kat for to analyze. Z tells them of Sam - who controlled the robot, but Sky does not believe it. Z tells them of what happen with her and the Krybots and tells them that Sam has powers. Sky tells the group that they have powers, but use them for good. Z replies that maybe Sam doesn't know the difference yet. The alarms sounds and Kat tells them that the robot is back in the city. The Rangers morph and form the megazord immediately. The Rangers begin to battle the robot. The Rangers try to handcuff the robot, but Sam handcuffs the megazord instead. Z spots Sam and leaves the zord and demorphs. Sky manages to get rid of the handcuffs on the zord. Z chases after Sam, calling out to him to stop. Sam manages to lose Z. Sam sits on a wall with Cindy Sunshine. Cindy Sunshine asks Sam why he had left and Sam tells her that he got scared. Cindy Sunshine tells Sam that the Power Rangers are bad people and she can understand why Sam got scared. A laser goes off and Cindy Sunshine is knocked off the wall. Z had fired at the laser. Z tells Sam that she never like dolls. Z approaches Sam slowly and tells him that she understands how he feels. Z demonstrates her cloning ability to Sam and Sam finally shakes her hand and tells her his name. Z also tells Sam that she understands how Sam feels about having no friends and doing anything to have one. The rest of the Rangers appear and Sam becomes angry - telling Z that she does have friends. The Rangers return to headquarters and Bridge tries to get a reading from Cindy Sunshine. Bridge gets a reading that Sam is at a junkyard and Cindy Sunshine disappears from his hands. Z asks Commander Cruger if she can look for Sam and Commander Cruger tells her she can, but to take Jack. Z and Jack leave. Kat and Boom enter the command center with the two dolls found in the building. Kat tells Commander Cruger it's urgent that the dolls are changed back to humans while Boom plays with the dolls. Z and Jack arrive at the junk yard and they found Sam. Sam doesn't want anything to do with Z and Z has Jack demonstrated his special ability. Sam is not impressed and tells them that they have each other. Z tells Sam that they found each other and now they have found him. Bugglesworth appears with Cindy Sunshine and Cindy Sunshine tells Sam that to remember he is listening to the girl that scorched her. Sam walks over to Bugglesworth and Cindy Sunshine. Bugglesworth releases another monster - Orangehead. Z and Jack have difficulty battling Orangehead and eventually have to morph. Sam watches stunned. Z manages to break free of Orangehead and races toward Sam. Z pleads with Sam to come with her, but Bugglesworth tells her not to worry, that they will take care of Sam. Jack is battling Orangehead and gets thrown. Z sees that Jack is in trouble and goes to his aid. Z and Jack continue to battle Orangehead and end up on the ground. Z tells Jack that they have to help Sam. Sam hears this and steps out from behind Bugglesworth.
Sam, Part II
Z and Jack continue to battle Orangehead. The rest of the Rangers appear to help them. The Rangers continue to have a difficult time with Orangehead. Bugglesworth leaves with Sam, but before Sam goes, he teleports Z, Jack, and Orangehead to the beach. Z and Jack continue to battle Orangehead and eventually have to retreat back to headquarters. Meanwhile Sam is on Emperor Gruumm's ship with Mora. Mora is already bored with the dolls she has and tells Sam that she wants a SPD doll. Sam is reluctant, but Mora promises to be his friend if he helps her. In the command center, Z is frustrated that they have no been able to help Sam. The rest of her friends ask her why she is taking it so personal and Z tells them of a painful memory when she was twelve. Z tells them of the difficult time she had and had her classmates called her various names like freaks. Eventually Z couldn't take it anymore and she replicated herself and made a run for it. Once outside, young Z ran into a strange creature who tore her necklace from her. A cloaked stranger helped her and retrieve her necklace, but young Z was too scared to ask for the necklace. Z reveals that she never found out who the cloaked stranger is. Commander Cruger walks in and reveals that he was the cloaked stranger. The Rangers are stunned and Commander Cruger tells them more of their shared heritage. Commander Cruger tells the Rangers that their parents worked at SPD and were responsible for the creation of the SPD morphers. Jack protested claiming his parents were missionaries and Syd tells Commander Cruger that her mom is a teacher. Commander Cruger continues telling them that their parents did work at SPD along with Kat and their prolonged exposure to their work caused them their unique abilities. Commander Cruger tells them that Sam's parents had worked at SPD as well. Kat walks in with urgent news that the humans may become permanent dolls if something isn't done quickly.
The Rangers go searching for Sam. Z is searching an alleyway when Sam appears. Z embraces Sam, but Sam is still suspicious of Z. Z realizes that she has been tricked when Cindy Sunshine and Bugglesworth appears. Z tells Sam that if he is friends with the Troobians, she won't stop him. Sam realizes that Z really does want to be his friend and they embrace again. Sam hides as Z fights Bugglesworth. Z has a difficult time and Sam tries to help her. Z urges Sam to run and he does. Z is turned into a doll. Sam continues running and runs into...Z. Z explains that she replicate herself before she was changed into a doll. Z playfully reminds Sam that he is not the only one with powers. Sam decides that he wants to use his powers for good and tells Z that by destroying Bugglesworth, the dolls will revert back to humans. Z and Sam are found by Orangehead, Bugglesworth, and several Krybots and they run. Commander Cruger sees this on the viewing screen and sends the rest of the Rangers to help Z. Z and Sam are captured. Sam manages to break free and Z tells him to run. Instead of running, Sam takes Bugglesworth's staff and smashes it so that Bugglesworth can no longer turn people into dolls. Sam takes off and Z battles Orangehead. Z replicates herself and continues the battle. The rest of the Rangers appear. Jack asks two of Z's clones if Z needs help, before finally asking Z. Z replies yes and the Rangers morph and continue the battle. A Bluehead appears and Jack takes on the Bluehead and eventually destroys him. Jack joins the rest of the Rangers as they battle Orangehead. The Rangers call on RIC and use the Canine Cannon Mode to destroy Orangehead. Kat informs the Rangers that Bugglesworth is back in his giant robot and she sends them their zords. The Rangers battle the giant robot and find Bugglesworth guilty. The robot is destroy and Bugglesworth is back on the ground with the Rangers. The Rangers capture and contain Bugglesworth. With Bugglesworth captured, the two dolls at SPD headquarters revert back to humans. Kat notices this and points it out to Boom. Boom sees the two humans hug and wants a hug from Kat, but Kat stops him. All the dolls on Emperor Gruumm's ship disappear, causing Mora to become furious. The Rangers bring Sam to headquarters where Sam is now a cadet. Sam is surrounded by his new friends and loves the bike they have given him. Sam tells them he wants to be a Power Ranger like them.
Idol
The Rangers are restless and Jack starts talking. Bridge notices something on the screen and tries to get Jack's attention. Bridge is joined by Syd and then Sky - Jack is still talking - and they hollered at him to come take a look. Jack and Z join the group and see a UFO arriving in Newtech City. The Rangers morphed and entered their delta runners. The Rangers form their zord and entered the city to find that the UFO has crashed. They put out the fire and leave the zord. A lone figure emerges from the UFO and he removes his helmet. Sky recognizes his old friend Dru Harrington and enthusiastically greets him. Sky takes Dru back to SPD with the rest of the Rangers. Dru tells them what has happen to him - he was following a monster - and only Jack is not quite trusting of Sky's friend. Later, Sky, Jack, and Dru get together for target practice. Jack does well but Dru does exceptional. After target practice, Jack is sitting alone when a shadow startles him. Jack is surprised to see Dru and questions him. Dru tells him he is looking for Commander Cruger and Jack finds it odd that Dru would look for Cruger at 4 in the morning. Sky walks in, he takes Dru's side. Jack orders Sky to take Dru to his quarters and he does. Sky and Dru talk as they walk back to his quarters. Sky asks a few questions of his own but all Dru will tell him is that he is on a top secret mission.
The following morning Sky, Syd, and Z listen as Bridge tells them about his dream and asks them what it means. Jack walks up and tells Sky that he has thought about it and he wants to apologize. Sky does not want to accept his apology and tells Jack he knows nothing about friendship or the SPD and to leave him and Dru alone. Kat notifies that Rangers that there is a security breach and there is a monster in the engine room. The Rangers morph and take on the monster, but it proves difficult and the monster is soon gone. Jack thinks he knows where the monster has gone and leaves. Demorph, Sky walks silently towards Dru's room. Jack leaves Dru's room and tells him that Dru is not there. Jack tells Sky not to let friendship blind him to his friend. An announcement is made that Commander Cruger is arriving and the Rangers await his arrival. Commander Cruger walks with the Rangers and he already knows of the breach in security. Sky takes full responsibly. Commander Cruger is fired at and lands on the floor, barely breathing. Sky spots the monster and goes after him. The monster reveals himself to be Dru - the monster form being his true form. Sky is confused and asks him why. Dru tells Sky of working with Broodwing and of power and money. Dru starts to leave and Sky tells him he has to take him in. Dru fires at Sky and Sky flies through the air and lands on the ground. Dru tells Sky that next time only one of them will be standing before walking away. The Rangers are gathered around Commander Cruger. Kat tells them that Cruger is tough old dog to which Commander Cruger responses who are you calling old dog. The Rangers are relieved that Commander Cruger is okay. The alarm goes off and it's Dru again. Bridge, Syd, and Z leave. Sky asks Jack if he can take Dru on his own and Jack tells him it's against regulations, but that he can give Sky a ten minute head start, which Sky takes. Sky encounters Dru in a projector room and they face off each other. Dru reverts to his true form while Sky morphs into the Blue Ranger. Sky takes down Dru - much to Dru's surprise. Dru grows larger as the rest of the Rangers enter. The Rangers use their zords to battle Dru and eventually defeat him. Dru goes back to human form and Sky arrests him. The following day Jack finds Sky scrubbing the cement entrance to SPD with a toothbrush. Commander Cruger's latest punishment for Sky. Jack offers to help Sky and does so. Sky starts laughing and Jack wants to know what is so funny. Sky tells Jack that he has been using Jack's toothbrush.
Stakeout
Jack and Sky are playing a game that involves a image of the Blue Senturion battling a monster. Z and Bridge watched from behind the guys. Sydney walks in dressed for a party. Z, Jack, Sky, and Bridge give Syd a hard time until they find out the following day is Syd's birthday. Syd tells them how her parents like to take her out to an expensive restaurant on the eve of her birthday. The others want to know where their invitation are and Syd tells them that she knew they had to work. The Rangers are called into a meeting at the command center with Commander Cruger and Kat. A hologram of Sinuka is displayed. Commander Cruger tells the Rangers that Sinuka has escape from a satellite prison on KO-35. Commander Cruger and Kat fear that Sinuka may go after his former associate Dr. Rheas. Commander Cruger wants to set up an stakeout and assigns Jack the task. Commander Cruger asks Jack to select who he would like to come with him and Jack picks Syd. Syd does not want to miss her evening out, but Jack insists that Syd has the most surveillance experience. Syd's temperament does not improve when she is moves into the shabby apartment with Jack. Jack quickly spots Dr. Rheas in the next building and is quite taken with her beauty. Syd is not that impressed and reflects that Jack didn't think a woman could be both beautiful and intelligent. Meanwhile, Bridge, Z, and Sky are watching an entrance to a cave on a beach. Soon Sinuka appears and enters the cave. After some time, Sinuka leaves the cave with a metal briefcase. Z, Sky, and Bridge try to arrest him, but Sinuka releases several Krybots. Sky, Bridge, and Z morphed and battle the Krybots while Sinuka makes his getaway.
Syd and Jack continue their surveillance. Dr. Rheas leaves her apartment and Syd is happy, thinking that they can now leave. Jack tells her they have to stay until Commander Cruger tells them otherwise. Jack answers the door and it's a delivery for pizza. Syd is surprised and happy - thinking the pizza is for her birthday. Jack tells her the pizza is for him, that he would have ordered a larger pizza had he know she wanted some. Syd pretends to have not really wanted the pizza. It's a different matter for Piggy who climbs through the window after following the delivery truck for three blocks. Syd is not happy to see Piggy. Piggy asks Jack what is the matter and Jack tells Piggy that Syd is upset because he made her work on her birthday. Even Piggy thinks that's a bit cold and Jack feels a twinge of guilt. Jack leaves, telling Syd and Piggy he is going for a walk. Jack goes for a walk in the park and spots a birthday party for a young girl. This reminds Jack of Syd. Jack then notices Dr. Rheas walking and a thief taking her bag. Dr. Rheas runs after the thief and Jack tells her he's got it. Jack catches up to the thief and as he fights him, the thief's mask comes off and it's a Krybot. Jack makes quick work of the Krybot. Jack goes to a park bench where Dr. Rheas is sitting and gives her her bag. Dr. Rheas is very happy and Jack suggests he walks her home to be on the safe side. Dr. Rheas agrees. Jack walks Dr. Rheas to outside her building. Jack tells Dr. Rheas that he has to go - a friend is having a birthday. Dr. Rheas tells Jack to wish his friend a happy birthday and tells him that she still gets excited over birthdays. Jack asks her why and Dr. Rheas tells him it's the one day everyone makes you feel special. Dr. Rheas thanks Jack again and they hug. Piggy is watching from the opposite building and makes a comment. Syd comes over and is furious when she sees Jack and Dr. Rheas hugging. Jack returns to the apartment and Syd starts to argue with him. Piggy tries to help, but Syd and Jack tell him to stay out of it. Jack tells Syd that they had been talking about birthdays. This surprises Syd and she asks him why. Jack reveals that he has never had a birthday - he doesn't even know when it is. Syd feels bad about making such a big deal about her birthday. They apologize to each other and are friends again. Then their morphers go off. Syd and Jack morphed and join the rest of the Rangers in the middle of the city. Sinuka is inside a giant robot. Kat sends the Rangers their delta runners and they form the megazord. The Rangers have a difficult time with Sinuka, especially when he replicates the giant robot. The Rangers keep going from the wrong robot and much to their frustration, Sinuka has gotten away again. Dr. Rheas prepares to leave her apartment and is very frighten to see Sinuka on the other side of the door. Jack returns to the apartment and is not happy that the pizza is all gone. Piggy claims that there were a lot of mice. Jack looks out the window and realizes that Dr. Rheas is missing. Jack asks Piggy if he had seen anything and Piggy will only talk for a price. Sinuka forces Dr. Rheas to take him where the activator is. Dr. Rheas tells him that she should have destroyed it and that he had the intelligence to do much good for the world. Sinuka tells Dr. Rheas that was her plans, not his. Sinuka has the activator when Jack shows up. Dr. Rheas watches stunned as Jack morphs into the Red Ranger. Jack battles Sinuka, but has a difficult time. Dr. Rheas tries to help but Sinuka pushes her away. Jack makes sure that Dr. Rheas is okay and then tells her to hid. Dr. Rheas does and continues to watch the battle. The rest of the Rangers appeared and they call for their delta runners and form the megazord. Sinuka is in his giant robot and replicates himself again. This time the Rangers are ready for him and destroy his robot. Sinuka ejects and the Rangers do the same. The Rangers used the Canine Cannon mode to arrest and contain Sinuka. The following day Syd is walking in the park and is very surprise and happy when her friends spring out and wish her a happy birthday. All the Rangers, along with Kat, Commander Cruger, Dr. Rheas, Piggy and several aliens are there. Syd and Jack share a cupcake until Piggy takes both halves.
