Power Rangers Turbo recap
Power Rangers Turbo (1997) continues the fight against the pirate Divatox, now on Earth, while the car-themed Rangers finish high school. The fifth season aired 45 episodes on Fox Kids from April to November 1997, adapting Gekisou Sentai Carranger, and it follows the Turbo film. Tommy Oliver (Jason David Frank), Adam Park (Johnny Yong Bosch), Tanya Sloan (Nakia Burrise) and Katherine Hillard (Catherine Sutherland) graduate, and 12-year-old Justin Stewart (Blake Foster) stays on as Blue. Zordon and Alpha 5 leave for Eltar, replaced by Dimitria of Inquiris and Alpha 6, and the Blue Senturion arrives from the year 2000 with a warning. Midway through, the veterans hand their powers on: T.J. Johnson (Selwyn Ward) becomes Red, with Carlos Vallerte (Roger Velasco), Ashley Hammond (Tracy Lynn Cruz) and Cassie Chan (Patricia Ja Lee). The mysterious Phantom Ranger joins as an ally, and the team learns that Dark Specter has captured Zordon.
Power Rangers Turbo ending explained

Divatox then leaves for Dark Specter's gathering after hearing that Zordon has been captured. The powerless Rangers take a NASADA space shuttle to rescue him, while Justin stays behind with his father. The cliffhanger leads straight into Power Rangers in Space.
