Shell Shocked is the fourth episode of Power Rangers in Space. It continues from the end of the previous episode, Save Our Ship.
Plot
The Turtles are placed under a spell by Astronema, and pretend to be friendly to the Rangers to gain their trust and sabotage their ship. Upon the spell being disrupted, the Turtles return to their former selves and ally with the Rangers, defeating Astronema.
Before the Turtles return home, the Rangers allow them to use their space-faring surfboard-like transports, the Galaxy Gliders, to cruise around space with for a short time. despite the Turtles not wearing any special equipment such as space suits, oxygen tanks, and helmets, they are shown to be unaffected by the drawbacks of space on a living being.
Another unique ability exhibited by the turtles is reflecting and throwing around a ball of energy thrown at them by a villain. Such abilities have never before been exhibited by core 4 brothers. Only Venus has exhibited abilities like this before in Next Mutation due to her magical training. Splinter exhibited an ability like this in the anime. This episode implies that either Splinter or Venus have taught the male turtles how to use energy-manipulation powers, abilities and techniques.
