Ep 16. Beauty and the Beast

In Power Rangers season 2 episode 16, "Beauty and the Beast," the Rangers begin their day with a celebration in honor of their beloved friend, Kimberly. However, their celebrations are short-lived when Lord Zedd unleashes a new monster called the Pachinko Head monster. The monster has the ability to shoot laser beams from its eyes and deflect the Rangers' attacks.

As the Rangers head into battle, something strange happens to Kimberly. She suddenly becomes quite aggressive and is more interested in her looks than fighting the monster. The rest of the team tries to reason with her, but she is single-minded about her appearance, and begins obsessing over her makeup, hair and nails.

With the Pachinko Head monster still wreaking havoc, the team is left with no choice but to tackle it on their own. The Pink Ranger's disinterest in fighting puts the team in danger, and they struggle to keep up with the monster's attacks.

As the battle progresses, the Pink Ranger's behavior becomes more bizarre. She stops caring about her safety and starts pursuing her beauty routine, even attempting to put lipstick on the monster while it attacks the rest of the team. Zordon realizes that something is seriously wrong, and sends Alpha 5 to investigate.

Alpha 5 discovers that Kimberly has been affected by Lord Zedd's latest scheme. An evil spell has transformed her into a vain, self-obsessed person, completely consumed by her beauty and appearance. Zordon instructs the team to help her snap out of it, but they soon realize that this is easier said than done.

The Rangers attempt to break through to Kimberly, but she remains resistant to their efforts. She just wants to look good, and her tunnel vision becomes a major obstacle for her friends. Meanwhile, Lord Zedd continues to punish the Pink Ranger, increasing the power of the spell and making her even more dangerous.

As the team struggles to find a solution, they realize that they need to find a way to break the spell on Kimberly. However, in order to do that, they need to defeat the Pachinko Head monster. The rest of the Rangers gear up for battle, but it's clear that they can't win without their Pink Ranger.

Finally, they devise a plan to break the spell. With the help of Alpha 5, they incorporate a spell-breaking potion into Kimberly's beauty routine. However, it's a race against time, as the monster's attacks continue to increase in strength.

In a nail-biting battle, the Rangers manage to fight off the Pachinko Head monster while Alpha 5 and Zordon work on breaking the spell. After a tense few minutes, Kimberly snaps out of her self-obsessed reverie and becomes herself again. The team not only defeats the monster, but they also manage to save their friend from Lord Zedd's treacherous grip.
