Bulk Fiction is the twenty-fourth episode of Power Rangers Zeo.

Synopsis[]

Bulk falls in love with the police chief's daughter Connie and goes to great lengths to ask her to the toy donation charity dance. However, his efforts result in Jerome getting fired by Chief Crandall. Feeling guilty, Bulk and Skull decide to quit the force and all three decide to start over and follow Stone's dream of opening a detective agency. Meanwhile, the Power Rangers battle Googleheimer, another monster sent by Mondo and Machina.

Plot[]

Bulk and Skull are chasing a toy car, trying to book it for speeding. Lieutenant Stone arrives with a new cadet, Connie Crandall, the daughter of their captain, and warns them not to treat her any differently. Bulk is instantly smitten with her. Meanwhile, Kat is helping prepare for a dance where an old toy has to be donated as admission. Rocky is worried about the theme of dressing as your favorite decade and Tommy tries to reassure him. Bulk and Skull arrive in pursuit of the toy car which turns out to be controlled by Billy. They are somewhat deflated when he reveals he was testing it before donating it to charity.

Overhearing, Prince Sprocket begs his parents for a new toy. King Mondo points out he's already wrecked several Cogs and Queen Machina says when they bought him a nuclear reactor he only played with the box, but they agree to consider it. At the Power Chamber, Billy and Alpha are working on the new Zeo Cannon. Billy heads off to get a chromium magnet to complete it.

Bulk and Skull are checking parking meters, with Bulk still obsessed with Connie. Skull suggests he invite her to the dance and take advice on how to do so from an expert. He means himself, but Bulk dashes off to find Tanya, who is playing basketball with Adam. He asks her "for a friend" what girls look for in guys. Tanya suggests being himself, but says she likes sophisticated guys. Bulk goes to see Connie, dressing and acting like a stereotypical English gentleman, and suggests they have a spot of tea together. He quickly retreats when Stone and Chief Crandall interrupt. Crandall reminds Stone he doesn't allow fraternizing among the ranks, especially his daughter.

Sprocket initially complains about being instructed to take his new toy, a full-sized robot named Googleheimer, down to Earth, until Googleheimer demonstrates the advantage by destroying a public phone. They see Billy approaching with his toy car and Sprocket sends a group of Cogs to attack him. Billy loses his Communicator during the tussle, but manages to regain control of the toy car, which has the magnet fitted to it, and use it to short-circuit the Machines. He then retrieves his Communicator and has Alpha teleport him to the Power Chamber.

Tommy, Kat and Rocky are handing out flyers for the charity dance. Tommy compliments Kat, prompting Rocky to say you'd never catch him writing a girl poetry. Bulk and Skull overhear and Bulk gets another idea. He and Skull head back to the police station dressed as beatnik poets and put on an increasingly awkward show for Connie, culminating in the unwise combination of a fan and a pair of chickens. Crandall and Stone walk in on the chaos and Crandall relieves Stone of duty for failing to control his command. Bulk and Skull say that if Lieutenant Stone goes, so do they, and walk out with him.

Tommy, Kat and Rocky are confronted by Sprocket and Googleheimer, and the trio morph to battle the new monster. Tommy signals Adam, and he and Tanya also morph and join them. All the Rangers take a battering, prompting Billy and Alpha to decide to send in the Zeo Cannon, with Zordon urging them to hurry. The Rangers receive the cannon and add their individual power cells, blasting Googleheimer. Sprockets asks Klank and Orbus for help and they grow Googleheimer to giant size. The Rangers summon the Zeo Zords and form the Zeo Megazord, but Googleheimer disables it with sticky candy and beats it as it stands helpless. Tommy summons the Red Battlezord and teleports aboard it, freeing the Zeo Megazord before forming the Zeo Mega Battlezord. The Zords blasts Googleheimer and destroys him. Sprocket complains to Mondo and Machina, who tell him to take better care of his next toy and keep it away from teenagers.

At the dance, Kat is dressed as a 50s girl, Billy in a futuristic outfit, Adam as a hippy and Rocky likes a 70s disco star. Tanya, dressed as a flapper, wonders where Tommy is. Ernie, dressed as a 50s rocker, puts on some music and Tommy dances up to his friends... dressed in an identical outfit to Rocky's (but with a red shirt instead of a blue one, naturally). Nearby, Bulk and Skull, dressed as old-fashioned policemen, think Stone must hate them. Stone, dressed like Sherlock Holmes, tells them he owes them a favor: He now has the chance to fulfill his dream of running a detective agency, and invites them to join him. Connie arrives and she and Bulk exchange apologies. Connie says she's quit the junior police force, since she only joined to impress her father. Bulk says perhaps they've both learned not to try and be something they're not. Connie invites him to dance and Bulk tries to answer in a sophisticated manner...then just answers as himself. They join the others dancing.

Notes[]

  • This episode aired the same day as Big Bad BeetleborgsIcon-crosswiki episode 6, Never Cry WerewolfIcon-crosswiki.
  • This episode's title is a parody of the 1994 film Pulp Fiction.
  • Final episode Terrence H. Winkless directed for the franchise.
  • Jerome Stone loses his job as a police officer in this episode, and Bulk and Skull quit the force to stay by Stone's side. They would get their old jobs back (albeit temporarily) in Turbo's "Shift Into Turbo".
  • To this day, the identities of the actors for Connie Crandall and her father, and their current whereabouts, have not been disclosed.
  • First and only appearances of Chief Crandall and Connie Crandall, though Chief Crandall is mentioned in "Shift Into Turbo" as the reason for them leaving the Angel Grove Police Force and becoming detectives.
  • First appearance of the Zeo Cannon.
  • 7 Billy's Communicator - Bulk Fiction

    Billy's Commuincator

    A close up of Billy's communicator shows that he still has the one he that he used when he was the Blue Ranger, meaning that there are currently two blue communicators in use, the other belonging to Rocky, the Blue Zeo Ranger.
  • There are two likely reasons why no Sentai scene was used when Googleheimer is at normal size:
    • One is likely because nearly all the footage with his counterpart, Bara Hungry, featured him in Japanese surroundings due to occurring during a traditional Japanese festival.
    • Another is possibly because Bara Hungry's initial defeat involved the Ohrangers tricking him into drinking a lot of alcohol and becoming drunk.
