Did the Rangers left Kat off the hook too easy?

[Hailey Hartford]

I honestly think not only did they let her off way too easily, Saban missed a plothole there too. In the next episode which was Kat's first as Kimberly's replacement, they could of kept her evil yet with the Pink Ranger's powers. She still had power left over from the spell. Its how she could read Rita's mind. The spell was made stronger by Kat's jealousy of Kim's relationship with Tommy.

Thats an interesting point. I don't blame the Rangers for trusting Kat after she came clean and found the Pink Power Coin. But that absolutely was a plot point the writers could have explored. The leftover Rita powers lingering over Kat as you say. I almost think the writers were going to go in that direction but plans were changed to where they didn't go all the way with it.

Also good catch on the jealously angle making the evil spell more powerful. It makes sense as to why Kat acted on her own when Rita had no standing order to break up the relationship. When it was her own jealousy messing with the spell. Which ironically could have created the opportunity for Kat to break the spell...Since it created a backdoor for more emotions to effect the spell.

She was under an evil spell. It wasn't her fault and the Rangers knew this.

[KimandTommy]

A thousand times yes! Kat was evil to the core! Spell or no spell. There was no reason to believe her story after she lied to them for so long. She should have been sentenced to the Well of Dispair by Zordon himself. She was so evil even Lord Zedd and Rita wanted her gone.

I don't see what Tommy saw in her..

[No Green Spandex]

Funny because I don't see what she saw in Tommy lol.

[Tommy Hater]

Probably because of his stupid long hair.
