About a week after the funeral, all the Rangers, both new and old, and Katherine go up to the Command Center for the pink powers to transfer to Kat.
Zordon speaks his wisdom to Katherine saying, "Katherine, Kimberly has chosen you to uphold the Pink Ninja Powers. The sacred animal is the Crane. Do you accept the powers?"
Katherine smiles and says, "Under the circumstances, I wish I didn't have to, but I accept."
Zordon says, "It is time now Katherine for you to take the power coin in your hands and absorb the powers."
Katherine takes the coin and watches in amazement as the power swirls around her and enters her body. Everyone welcomes Kat to the group and wish her the best. She is now officially one of the group, but has a lot to learn.
Jason was just glancing around the room and sees Tommy. He looks upset about something, but Jason just assumes that it is because someone else is using the pink power. Jason knows that it is going to be hard for all of them watching the Crane be powered by someone else, but eventually it will all get better. Little did he know what Tommy was planning on doing.
It has now been about 1 month after Kimberly's death, and they are all beginning to get over it, except for Tommy. He has been showing signs of extreme depression and he has also been drawing himself away from the group. Trini and Zack have gone back to the Peace Conference, but Jason decided to stay back another month. He has really been concerned about Tommy.
They are all at the Youth Center trying to figure out what to do.
Rocky asks, "What do you all want to do today?"
Aisha thinks for a moment and says, "Lets go shoot some hoops at the park!"
Kat replies, "That sounds like fun!"
Billy says, "I'm agree!"
Adam says, "Yeah, count me in."
Jason says, "Sure, why not. How about you Tommy?" Tommy is staring into space not even paying attention to what anyone is saying. "Tommy? Yo Tom! Earth to Tommy! Come in Tommy!"
"Huh?" Tommy says as Jason shakes him out of his daydream.
Rocky says, "We are gonna go shoot some hoops at the park, are you in?"
"Uh, no, I think I am gonna go home and chill."
Jason looks at him and says, "You ok?"
"Yeah, just tired. You guys have fun. I'll see you all later." He says as he gets up and leaves the center.
"You know what guys, I think I'm gonna follow him to make sure he's ok." Jason says. "I'll catch up with you later."
Billy says, "Affirmative. See you later."
Jason leaves the Youth Center and goes looking for Tommy.
Tommy goes up to the mountain that Kimberly died on. He goes up to the highest point and stands on the edge for a while. "It so easy, all I would have to do is jump off this cliff and then I could be with Kimberly." He thinks to himself. He starts to move closer to the end preparing to end his misery when Jason comes up and says, "Tommy, don't!"
"Why Jason? Why shouldn't I? Why shouldn't I end my misery? It's only one short step and then nothing!"
"Tommy, come on, this isn't the way out. Don't do this." Jason pleads with his best friend.
"Stay out of this Jason."
"Would you just come back here and talk! Please Tommy! I don't want to lose another friend! I can't do it!"
"I'm sick of talking! I am sick of not having her here! I want it all to end!"
"This isn't the way to go Tommy! Please just come back here!"
"Jason, I'm sorry, but I have to do this. Just go on and go!" Tommy takes a step closer.
"I'm not leaving. If you're going to jump, you're doing it in front of me Tommy." Jason stands firm, silently praying that Tommy will turn around. After a few minutes of Tommy standing on the edge he turns around and faces Jason and steps towards him. "I couldn't save her Jason. I couldn't save my own girlfriend." Tommy says to Jason.
Jason looks at Tommy with emence sadness and says, "You couldn't have saved her Tommy."
"I should have tried Jase! I should have done something, or protected her more when she was flying around! I let Goldar kill her."
"Tommy you LISTEN to me! This is NOT your fault! Do you hear me? This is NOT your fault!"
"It is my fault! She was sick Jason! She did not have her wits about her, but she still wanted to fight! I should have told her to stay home, or not fly! But."
Jason cuts off Tommy in mid sentence and says, "She wanted to do her job and save the world. You know how strong willed she is. well was. It was not your fault!"
"Yes it is! I am the leader! I should have protected her more! I have always protected her! I KILLED HER JASON! She's dead because I couldn't get to the Crane fast enough and she crashed. I killed her!" Tommy starts crying. "And now I am going to kill myself."
"What good is that going to do Tommy? Huh? What good is that going to do? Kimberly wouldn't want you to do this!" Jason shouts at him trying to get him to back down.
"I just want to be with her. I can't be happy with out her don't you get it!" Tommy shouts. " I don't want to forget her! I don't want to live without her! I miss her so much!"
"So do I Tommy, but you don't see me jumping off a cliff!"
"That's because you weren't in love with her! I loved her Jason! I still do!" Tommy yells.
"Then don't kill yourself! You know she would be PISSED at you!"
"I don't care!"
"What are we going to do with out a White Ranger huh Tommy? We need you! Your there leader!" Jason was just trying to throw everything out at him to keep him alive.
"Take the coin then!" He throws his power coin and communicator at Jason. "You were a better leader than I will ever be! You never killed any of your teammates!"
"Tommy, please listen to me! It's not your fault that Kimberly died! You couldn't save her bro! I already had to burry my best friend; please don't make me burry another. I can't deal with it! Let us help you! Tommy, I am here for you! The grief you are feeling I am feeling. I lost my little sister bro! I loved her just as much. She's still with us, but not in human form!" Tommy takes another step. "Please Tommy, don't do this! Come on Bro, get back from the edge and talk with me. I help too getting over this. I can't do it alone!" Tommy looks back at Jason, glances one more time at what he was in for if he jumped, and what would happen if he talked to Jason. Slowly he backs away from the cliff and sits down and cries. Jason does the exact same thing and gives him a hug. "Thank god."
"Its so hard Jason. I hate seeing Kat in her uniform. I wish it were Kimberly! It should be Kimberly!"
"But, its not. Katherine is probably feeling uncomfortable as it is having to take over Kim's position under these circumstances, but you said Kim did want Kat to take it, so she must have known what she was talking about it."
"Yeah, I guess your right." Tommy says as he stands up.
"Hey Tommy? Do you mind if we get off the mountain and go talk somewhere lower?" Jason looks at his best friend.
"Yeah. Lets go." They head down off the mountain to safety. Jason from that day on was thankful he talked Tommy down.
