Always a Chance

Always a Chance is the twenty-fifth episode of C-Squad Power Rangers: S.P.D. It features the return of Trey Wilkes  as the Thunderstorm Black Ranger.

Synopsis
During a battle with Lizwizard, Jon accidentally injures Susie(who was helping the rangers), giving him serious doubts about whether he is fit to be a Power Ranger. By undergoing training with former Ranger, Susie's former teammate and old friend, Trey, he regains his confidence. When the same monster attacks a powerless Jon, Trey must once again morph into the Black Ranger to save him.

Plot
Vexica sends down the Lizwizard to attack the Rangers. During the fight, Lizwizard attacks Susie, who was helping the rangers out, holding her in one spot. Jon brings out his Lunar Lance to strike Lizwizard, but it trades places with Susie at the last second. Jon's attack strikes Susie hard, seriously injuring her. After mocking Jon, Lizwizard makes his escape. Later, Susie is brought to the  SPD Base  infirmary, where she reassures Jon that it's not his fault and the things happen, due to her long-running experience as a Power Ranger. But Jon is being especially hard on himself for the accident, doubting his abilities as a Ranger.

Trey Wilkes, the second Thunderstorm Black Ranger and Green Geo/Turbo Rangers, as well as Jon's predecessor, and an old teammate and friend of Susie's, returns to help Jon's regain his confidence through martial arts courses and workouts, including a workout where Trey teaches Jon to fight by relying on his instincts instead of his vision. This was not a successful endeavor, however, as Jo finally gave up his C-Squad Morpher and decided to quit being a Power Ranger. Susie follows him to convince to come back, but she is reunited with Trey. Without missing a beat, Lizwizard attacks once again, and Trey is left with a difficult choice. He brings out his old Thunder Morpher that contained his Mastodon Thunder Coin. Susie and Gamma had already warned him not to use that morpher, because the connection to the Morphing Grid was lost, rendering his old Ranger powers unstable. Despite Jon, Susie, and Gamma screaming for him not to, Trey morphs into the Black Thunderstorm Ranger, and takes on the Lizwizard. The battle starts off in his favor until his powers start to fluctuate and disable him. Seeing Trey take the risk helps Jon regain his confidence and as the other Rangers show up, he is reunited with his C-Squad Morpher. The fight resumes, and Lizwizard tries the same trick again. This time, however, when he switches places, the now more confident Jon is ready, instead jumping off his comrade's shoulders and attacking the Lizwizard. After Vexica fires the Satellasers and makes Lizwizard grow, Jon joins the other Rangers in the C-Squad Max Megazord, which ultimately takes down Lizwizard with just one slice of its Saber.

After the battle, Jon, his teammates, and Susie come down to see how Trey is doing after using his Thunder Morpher during that last battle. Jon reiterated what Gamma said about morphing having the potential of destroying him, but Trey pointed out it was a chance he had to take, and with Jon, the odds were on their side. Susie told Trey if he ever morphed again, she'll hurt him, instead of his damaged powers. Trey and Jon then shake hands and hug, before the others hoist Jon up on their shoulders.
