An Oyster Stew

An Oyster Stew is the sixtieth episode of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and the last episode of season 1.

Synopsis
Zack wants to impress Angela for her birthday with a special present. He plans to take her to dinner, and seeks to get her a pair of pearl earrings. Rita Repulsa makes her own plans to have him give Angela the Pearls of Stillness thereby freezing everyone in sight including the Power Rangers. Only Tommy and Zack remain unaffected. They must work together to destroy the Oysterizer and break the spell.

Plot
Angela's birthday is coming up, and Zack wants to take her out. He arranges a nice double date with Tommy & Kim and her at a fancy French restaurant. He seeks a pair of pearls earrings to give to Angela, but is unable to afford any. Zack finds a strange hustler at the park, who gives him a pair real cheap. It turns out, the hustler was a putty in disguise, and the pearls are the evil Pearls Of Stillness!

Angela happily puts them on, and freezes everyone in the restaurant. Zack & Tommy are the only ones unfrozen, and must fight Rita's Oysterizer monster to undo the pearl's effects. The duo do so with Zack using Tommy's shield to break the spell, but Angela's angered about the disintegrating earrings. The Rangers, in the Megazord & Dragonzord, take on Oysterizer under water! Later, Zack sings Angela a ballad, with Bulk & Skull providing the music.

Errors

 * After Zack and Tommy morph, Tommy says "I'm right behind you guys", even though only Zack is with him.
 * Zordon told Zack he needed to destroy the Ecocite Pearl to break the freeze spell, however simply knocking Oysterizer into the water did this.
 * In preparing to destroy the Oysterizer, the Megazord performs its "catching the Power Sword" move, despite the fact that it was already holding the Power Sword.
 * In one scene, Zyuranger text is clearly visible on Zack's belt buckle.
 * The Megazord's finisher shows it slashing vertically from the bottom up, but the shot on the monster is done as if it were from top to bottom.
 * When Tommy transfers his shield to Zack, he’s holding Zack’s hand between them, but once the shield has transferred, Zacks hand is where the diamond on the shield was when Tommy was wearing it.
 * Alpha says that the Zords will struggle to function underwater, but the Dragonzord resides in the sea. Jason confirms this later in the episode.
 * When Tommy transferred the Dragon Shield to Jason in “Gung Ho!”, he retained the gold arm bands, but here Zack got them with the shield. The only time Jason got them was when he took custody of the Green Ranger powers.
 * The Dragon Shield is cleaner and more golden while Zack is using it than when Tommy had it.
