The Green Dream

The Green Dream is the seventh episode of Season 2 of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. It is the beginning of the seven-episode Green No More arc where Tommy's dream haunts him as Zedd plots to strip him of his powers.

Synopsis
Tommy is troubled by a recurring dream about losing his powers, not knowing that Lord Zedd is behind his nightmares. It's part of a plan to capture Tommy and steal the Sword of Power.

Plot
While Ms. Appleby gives the class an assignment, Tommy is lost in thought. When Kimberly finally gets his attention, Tommy tells her about a dream he keeps having about losing his powers. He feels the dreams are trying to tell him that he is going to lose his powers for good. Kimberly doesn't know what to say to make Tommy feel better.

After school, at the Juice Bar, Billy shows Trini his latest invention while Bulk & Skull walk in with their own, which they claim has the ability to detect the presence of the Power Rangers. Tommy realizes that he has to get started on his homework and leaves. Lord Zedd spots Tommy walking alone through the park and sends down a group of Putties, who capture Tommy and take him to a cave where Goldar is waiting. Goldar tells Tommy to obtain the Sword of Power from his friends and bring it back to him. When Tommy resists, Goldar places him under a spell, causing Tommy to obey his command.

Goldar spots a fallen book from Tommy's backpack, which contains an image of a creature that Goldar thinks would make a great monster. Lord Zedd creates Robogoat from the picture and sends it into Angel Grove. Tommy insists that he wants to help the Rangers in the coming battle, but they are concerned that Tommy’s powers will weaken more. Tommy convinces them to summon the Sword of Power as a way of defeating Robogoat, but when they do, Tommy takes the sword and vanishes.

Tommy returns to the cave. Goldar has him give the sword to Robogoat, which causes Goldar's spell to be broken. Upset that he has betrayed his friends, Tommy morphs and faces off with Robogoat, his powers fading more and more in the process. The other Rangers come to Tommy's aid, and during the battle Zordon teleports the Sword of Power back to the Command Center. After Lord Zedd makes Robogoat grow to giant size, Tommy tries to summon the Dragonzord to help but it fails to respond, another result of his weakened Green Ranger powers. The rest of the team is able to destroy Robogoat in the Thunder Megazord. Lord Zedd is furious as usual, but notes that his mission wasn't a complete failure, as the end of the Green Ranger is drawing near.

The next day Jason, Tommy, and Kimberly are all seen sitting in the hallway area after school. Tommy knows his powers are nearly gone. Jason and Kimberly try to comfort and encourage him, but Tommy knows that this time, once his powers are gone they'll be gone for good.

Errors

 * The tip of the Dragon Dagger's blade is bent when Tommy attempts to summon the Dragonzord on the rocky slope.
 * The Dino Megazord can be seen in place of the Thunder Megazord when it is struck by an explosion, a result of the use of Zyu2 footage. Likewise, the blade of the original Power Sword can be seen when the Thunder Megazord walks towards Robogoat with the Thunder Saber.
 * When the Rangers first view the Robogoat on the Viewing Globe, he already has the Sword of Power, despite the fact that the Rangers have not yet summoned it nor has Tommy turned it over to the monster.
 * During the scene where Tommy tries to summon the Dragonzord, the stunt actor's face is visible through the visor.
 * When Tommy falls off the cliff after being struck by Robogoat, he is seen holding his Dragon Dagger in his left hand, but when he hits the side of the cliff, the dagger is holstered.
