In Power Rangers season 5 episode 30, titled "The Robot Ranger," the Rangers face a new challenge when a mysterious new Power Ranger, who is actually a cyborg named T.J., arrives on the scene. T.J. has been created by Astronema as part of her plan to infiltrate the Rangers' base and destroy them from within.
Despite some initial skepticism from the other Rangers, T.J. quickly proves his worth by helping them fight off a group of Piranhatrons sent by Astronema to attack them. With his ability to communicate with machines and control them remotely, T.J. becomes a valuable asset to the team.
However, as the Rangers begin to rely more and more on T.J.'s help, they start to wonder about his true motivation for joining their team. Is he really there to help them defeat Astronema, or is he secretly working for her?
Their suspicions are fueled by a series of strange events, including T.J. hacking into the Rangers' computer systems and stealing some of their technology. Despite his protestations of innocence, the other Rangers begin to suspect that T.J. may be a double agent working against them.
The situation comes to a head when the Rangers discover that T.J. has uploaded the virus that was used to create him into one of their Zords, causing it to go on a rampage and attack the other Rangers. In a dramatic showdown, the Rangers must fight off their own Zord and try to stop T.J. before he causes any more damage.
In the end, T.J. is revealed to be a victim of Astronema's mind control, and the Rangers are able to free him from her influence. With T.J. back on their side, they team up to take down the latest monster sent by Astronema and save the day once again.
