Hayley forgets she has a boyfriend in this confusing episode of Ninja Steel.

Power Rangers Ninja Steel Episode 6

Did you know Calvin and Hayley are dating?

Remember from the second episode where she mentioned, Im your girlfriend.

Remember when they were holding hands in the background in another episode?

I was really excited forNinja Steelto be tackling a romance between two Rangers.

Hell, if you hadnt seen the first few episodes you wouldnt have known they were dating!

Sure, Calvin asks her to dance at the end but he just danced with Sarah.

High school drama is INSANE.

Jeez, Calvin doesnt even bat an eye when Hayley is dancing with Redbot!

Instead this episode focuses on Hayley treating Redbot like a machine.

Thats a perfect time to focus on the relationship.

If the episode hadnt included the dance plot, maybe a Hayley/Redbot episode would be okay.

The Power Rangers official twitter continues to baffle me.

When Hayley turns Redbot down to go the dance, it tweeted out, Friendzoned!

Or would it be botzoned?!

Also, the concept of the friendzone is a complete joke.

Why is Hayley such a dick to Redbot anyway?

The episode really needed to pick what it was going to be about.

Redbot and his attempt at being seen as human or the dance.

Mixing the two just didnt work.

What did work, despite some of Ninja Steels recurring problems, were Victor and Monty.

Again, these two are gold.

We havent seen him really hang out with anyone besides Monty in these first six episodes.

If he were that popular wouldnt he have a whole group of friends?

By just being with Monty, were forced to assume he isnt as popular as he thinks.

Maybe he was at one time but not anymore.

Maybe Monty was never part of Victors friend group until Victor was all alone.

Victor and Monty work so well in comparison to them because they are actually struggling against something.

Victor wants to be popular and Monty wants to impress him.

Why cant the comedy come from the characters instead of these rejected Disney channel original series level antics?

The episode also gives us a small tease to the Gold Ranger, which I will say looks interesting.

Lets hopeNinja Steelcan use its sixth Ranger arc to give this show a much-needed win of an episode.

Wheres this guys episode?

Major kudos for giving the monster of the day an accent.

Helps him stand out from the usual Grrrrr monster voices.

Okay, why did Brody ask what Kody said?

Hes not an alien, he knows what a dog is!

Hayley follows in the steps of Nick fromMystic Forceby doing a BIKE TO THE FACE.

Its not crushing time.

Im sure Monty REALLY enjoyed that outfit Victor was wearing at the dance.

Small detail I loved.

Hayley and Sarah are actually dressed up for the dance whereas the guys barely put in any effort.
