Part one left us with Goldar in control of the Power Coins and the Dragonzord, and the reappearance of Tommy the former Green Ranger.
Tommy is quickly transported to the Command Centre and agrees to do whatever he can to help. The Green Power Coin is, however, completely powerless and requires energy from Zordon himself if Tommy is to succeed. I particularly like how Tommy, recharged, teleports out of the Command Centre. The crackling energy fills the screen, as if he's overflowing with power that he had lost some time ago.
The dialogue between Goldar and Tommy is brilliant - one of my favourite scenes in fact. Tommy is ready for battle while Goldar is unimpressed: "empty threats from a powerless ranger!". This two-parter really reveals Goldar's disdain for the Rangers and their cause: "you've come for your precious Dragon Dagger and your PATHETIC Power Coins! HAH! Come and get them!"
The Rangers are forced to cheer Tommy on from the safety of the Command Centre as Tommy fights the Putties; he even briefly engages Goldar, with Goldar dominating him for the most part. Tommy can only last a few more minutes, and needs an extra boost from Zordon, unaware that Zordon is slipping away. I like the way Tommy screams as the energy flows through his Dragon shield.
Tommy manages to regain the Dragon Dagger and he commands the Zord to take on Goldar and Scorpina. The new "Go Green Ranger Go" debuts here, and there's a cool shot of the Zord walking towards the screen as explosions go off behind it.
Tommy retrieves the Power Coins, but is reduced to a coma after the shock from the forcefield surrouding them. The Rangers go into battle with the Dramole monster, who plays a relatively small part in the two episodes. Tommy arrives at the last moment; the forcefield somehow restoring his powers. They defeat the Dramole monstar in a cool Zord battle at the end; I like the "night" effect the monster creates when fighting them.
So their parents are back safe and sound, and the Rangers are once again a six person team. However, Tommy is NOT at full power, and the fading of his powers throughout the rest of the season and later in season 2 is well handled. But for now, he's back in action and its brilliant.moreless
EDIT
Episode Summary
With only the depleted Dragon Coin left, Tommy is teleported to the Command Center to become the Green Ranger once more. With a boost of power from Zordon, Tommy must battle his way through Putties and Goldar to retrieve his teammates' Power Coins and Dragon Dagger. But in the process, he takes a jolt from a force field! Will this spell the end for Tommy, or a new beginning for the Green Ranger? Can the Rangers defeat the Dramole monster and rescue their parents from Rita's clutches?moreless

ADD TRIVIA-
Alpha "finds" the Rangers' parents in the viewing globe, but he already found them in the previous episode they already had found the parents and were commenting on how strange they looked, assuring themselves at least that their parents were safe.
Edit -
In the opening sequence, Tommy has a different shirt than he had at the end of the previous episode. In this one was green and striped in the previous episode it was green with a more checkered pattern.
Edit - The Dragon Dagger and the box holding the Power Coins are shown to be separate items despite Goldar morphing the dagger into the box at the end of the last episode. Edit
