Ep 19. Dismissed

While Commander Cruger is plagued with nightmares, S.P.D.'s Supreme Commander Fowler Birdie pays a visit to Earth. After mocking the Rangers, arrogantly trying to poach Dr. Manx, and rudely comparing a Ranger battle to Crugers fight on Sirius; Birdie commands Cruger to take up a new strategy of splitting up the Rangers. When Cruger refuses, citing it would make easy targets out of the Rangers, Birdie takes over the Delta Base relieving Commander Cruger of duty. With a very upset Ranger team, Dr. Manx try's consoling them while dealing with Birdie. Meanwhile, Gruumm heads to Earth himself in order to face Anubis, Commander Cruger, in battle and an energy surge alerts the team. Gruumm is able to easily overpower the Rangers, who were split up under the command of Bidie. Forcing Commander Birdie to take matters into his own hands, unfortunately Birdie doesn't fare much better than the Rangers. Upon being informed of Gruumm's challenge, Cruger shows us a flashback of him being the one responsible for Gruumm's missing horn. With the help of Kat, Cruger returns to save the day and an apologetic Birdie reinstates him. The episode ends with another glimpse of our ball of light.
