King for a Day is the name of A two part episode of Power Rangers: Zeo. Events in this episode were set up in the previous episode "Where in the World is Zeo Ranger V?"
[edit] Plot
Tommy returns into the Power Chamber, only to be attacked by an illusion of the White Ranger, who really is Prince Gasket. Gasket and Archerina erase Tommy's memory to make it so that the Power Rangers are the enemy, and the Machine Empire is good. Gasket also convinced Tommy that he is the King of the Machine Empire, and Tommy vows to destroy the Power Rangers. There was an illusion of Zeo Ranger V. Jason and the other Zeo Rangers thought it was Tommy, but it was a trap set by Prince Gasket, and Jason was sucked in, along with Bulk and Skull. Jason must fight as the Gold Ranger, in the arena full of Machine Empire Soldiers, against none other than Zeo Ranger V.
Back at the Power Chamber, The Rangers try to find a way to get into the Arena. They observe Jason fighting some The Monster Altor in a duel.
Rito and Goldar were watching TV, and they found the battle between Jason and Altor. They call Rita and Zedd over to see it.
The Fight was fierce, and Altor somehow knew all of Jason's moves, so he can easily counter them. Jason realizes that Gasket drained some of Tommy's memory and transferd it to the monster. Jason tries to convince Tommy about who he really is, but it fails. The monster eventually loses Tommy's Powers, and Jason destroy him. Tommy steps in and fights Jason. Jason still couldn't convince Tommy about the truth, but Tommy slightly remembers who he is, but Gasket continues to tell him that Jason is lying. Tommy still wants to fight Jason. They start fighting, but Jason refuses to fight Tommy.
Meanwhile, Bulk and Skull meet a warrior named Tritor. Tritor explains that Gasket plans to destroy the Earth, and explains the situation that's going on. Bulk & Skull claim that they're the fiercest warriors of the Earth.
Zedd and Rita finally realized that they cannot take over the world when they're stuck on the moon. Zedd hated to admit it, but he had no choice but to help the Rangers. Eventually, Rita faints.
Jason still tries to explain to Tommy about the truth, but Tommy refuses to listen. So they have to fight each other. While they fight, Bulk & Skull try to escape with Tritor. The other Rangers plan to get to the arena, and try to make Tommy Remember everything. They morph and teleport to the Arena, only to find out that Billy and Alpha lost the lock to the dimension where the Arena Takes place. Finster suggests to Rita and Zedd that they have to send the Rangers to the Arena and battle Gasket's army of monsters. Zedd likes the idea, and takes credit for it. Finster created the transporter, but it only works once. Bulk & Skull, and Tritor continue to try to find a way out and escape, but they plan to destroy the force field so anyone can escape. Billy and Alpha still couldn't get the lock, but the Rangers were transported by Finster.
The Rangers were transported into the arena, and join up with Jason. Tommy decides to take all of them on, and Jason makes a plan to try and get Tommy to remember. Tommy continues to attack the other Rangers, while Bulk and Skull continue to destroy the Brain Drain machine and the force field. Kat demorphs herself so Tommy could slightly remember who he is. He tries to attack her, but he stops since she is a human. The other Rangers decide to do this so his memory would return, but Jason made it work a little more. They explain that they're trying to help Tommy, and Tommy is somehow confused. Later, the Brain Drain effects ware off completely, and his memory returns to normal. He demorphs, and everything comes back to him. Bulk and Skull, and Tritor escape the explosions after destroying the force field and the Brain Drain Machine. The Rangers try to morph, but the effects of the force field prevented them from doing so. The Force Field was later destroyed, and the Rangers teleported out of the arena, and back to Earth. Bulk and Skull didn't think Tritor survived, but he did, and told the duo that he will make legends out of them, and teleported them back to Earth.
Bulk and Skull try to tell Emily about what they went through, but Ernie calls her for work and she leaves them. The Rangers were hanging out at the beach club, and they wonder about the Transporter beam. Bulk & Skull talk about how they rescued the Power Rangers. The Rangers believe them, but Bulk and Skull don't think they do and leave.

- The suit actor for Tritor was Koichi Sakamoto, who has been well-known to fans of the show as the executive producer for many seasons now, and is one of the only original crew members left as of 2007. However, Sakamoto only moved his lips, while Tritor's voice was done by Paul St. Peter.
