Rebecca's life was far from easy. She lost her mother at a young age and struggled to cope with the loss through her adolescence. She rebelled against her father and paid the heavy cost when she found herself pregnant. The baby's father refused to acknowledge it was his baby and humiliated her and her father pressured her into keeping the baby. She got involved with the wrong people, and were it not for her bumping into her kind and determined older half-brother, she knew she could have found herself in prison or even dead. Her struggles with her father continued though, and in a heated argument, he slapped her. Rebecca ran away and temporarily wanted to stay with her half brother's family. However, she constantly felt like the unwanted step-child and struggled to feel at home while also trying to mend her relationship with her father.

But there seemed to be nothing she could do to get her family back. Her father married a woman who, rather than help him get his life together, allowed him to wallow in self-pity. When Rebecca pushed and begged her father to do better, he fought back, beating her up in his kitchen, then taking another of his many beers back to the living room. Later, when Rebecca returned to check up on him, she found him dead. She lost two parents before even reaching the age of seventeen. Fortunately for her, her brother's parents were willing to take her in, and for a few months, Rebecca felt she had a home. Unfortunately, fate decided to take that away. Her new parents were killed in a missile attack from the Armada, leaving her and her brother to care for his newest sister.

It was hit after hit, and misfortune on top of misfortune. Rebecca could have understandably drowned by now, but she chose to keep her head up. She had a rough time, and plenty of difficult decisions, but she now found herself surrounded by a family she knew would care for her until the very end. That alone gave her enough of a reason to wake up with a smile.

It was difficult to learn she was blind, and more difficult to learn to find her way again. Tensou had offered to do a procedure that would replace her broken eyes with robotic ones that were connected to a chip in her brain so she could see, but Rebecca had been scared. Tensou had admitted the procedure would be painful and uncomfortable, and there were no guarantee it would work the first time. Rebecca opted not to do it, and for weeks struggled to figure out how to live without her sight. When it got to be too much, Gia took her to Ocean Bluff to visit a Pai Zhuq master who was also blind. There, she learned to tap deeper into her connection with her dolphin, and now knew how to use a technique very similar to echolocation to get an image of her surroundings. It wasn't yet perfect, but Rebecca knew how to detect the outlines of people and objects around her. It gave her hope that she could continue on her path to a happy, healthy life with her friends.

She was more than excited as she got back on the Sky Ship to tell her brother and her boyfriend all about how she could, in her own way, see again. Once her feet touched the ground and the sound they made traveled through the air and back, she could see exactly where the Rangers were standing on the ship. It was difficult to tell them apart just by their outlines and she walked slowly at first, but eventually she made out Noah's outline and ran straight to him. She jumped in his arms and hugged him warmly.

"I did it!" she told him. "Master Swoop taught me how to be blind!"

"How to be blind?" Noah chuckled as he set her back down on her feet. She nodded her head excitedly.

"It's echolocation. I can use sounds to see where everything is!"

"Echolocation?" Noah asked her. "But that's... I mean, how..."

"I have the dolphin spirit," Rebecca smiled. "Master Swoop said they're like bats. They use sounds to see where they're going in the ocean. When I trust her, she knows how to guide me! I completed Master Swoop's maze, saved Gia, and only tripped once or twice on the walk home! I told Gia to watch out for a tree! She didn't even see it!"

"You didn't see a tree?" Jake chuckled. Gia looked straight at him, but not happily or with annoyance that he was laughing at her near misfortune. She seemed confused. Scared even. She stepped away from him and closer to Rebecca.

"Am I missing something here?" she asked. Rebecca turned to her.

"No, you were there. Remember the big tree?"

"Yeah, it's just... I hear everyone but... no one's here," Gia said. Rebecca frowned deeply.

"What do you mean, no one's here? Look, it's Noah," she took the blue Ranger's hand and pulled him in closer. "There's Troy, Jake, Emma, and Orion. The only ones not here are Ryan, but I guess it's nap time, and Tensou."

"No," Gia shook her head. "I think your echolocation is echo-loco. I'm looking around and I don't see a soul."

Rebecca squeezed Noah's hand, "Um, maybe you've gone blind, Gia."

"Gia, we're right here," Jake said. Gia jumped at the sound of his voice and once again turned and looked directly at him, but she didn't seem to notice he was there at all. She backed away slowly.

"This isn't funny. Okay, if Noah's figured out a new weapon or something..."

"Weapon?" Noah asked. "I haven't had time to work on anything since you left. Troy and I sat down to talk, just like we promised and then we kicked Vekar's latest monster's butt."

"You talked?" Rebecca smiled as she turned to her brother. Troy walked over to Noah.

"I took off my big brother hat and just listened to him explained what happened at Vrak's," Troy nodded. "I put myself in his shoes and, well, I'm not saying I would have made the same decision he made, but I can see what he tried to do and it just didn't work out."

"I told him what I told you," Noah said. "I didn't mean to put you in harm's way. I just let my better judgement be clouded. I promise, it's not going to happen again, and I'm training hard so you never have to worry about aliens getting to you."

"So, you're good?" Rebecca asked.

"We're good," they answered her and then each gave her a hug. Rebecca was over the moon. Gia still couldn't believe her eyes, or anything else that was going on.

"Can someone please tell me where the hell you all are?" she asked and started to turn around, hoping she could catch sight of one of her friends, as this game was really starting to get on her nerves. As she turned, though, she felt a hand brush up against her arm. She jumped, stumbled into what felt like a body, jumped the other way and lost her balance. Just before she was about to hit the ground, someone caught her.

"Careful," Orion said. "Is everything alright?"

She jumped from his arms, found her footing and then backed off completely. When she looked around, all she could see was Rebecca. There was no one else on the ship, and yet she could hear their voices. Finally, Tensou rolled out from below deck. She turned to him.

"Where the hell are they?" she asked him angrily. Tensou pointed.

"Them?"

"This isn't funny," Gia growled. "This ghostly, voice throwing prank's gone far enough. Ha-ha, Rebecca's blind but I'm the one who can't see the guys. Fine! You win. Just tell me where they are!"

"Right there," Tensou pointed again. Gia then felt a hand on her back.

"Did something happen in Ocean Bluff?" Emma asked her. Gia stumbled backwards and shook her head.

"Stop it!"

"Gia, you're freaking us out."

"Me?" she frowned. "You know I hate this ghostly Halloween themed crap! Just stop it!"

"Stop what? We're not doing anything. You're looking right at me."

"No I'm not!" Gia screamed loud enough to wake Ryan from her nap. Rebecca volunteered to go pick her up. She walked to the boy's bedroom while Gia continued to stare at the empty ship. Another hand touched her and she jumped fearfully again.

"Gia, maybe Tensou should have a look at you," Orion suggested.

"Are you sure..."

"Shut up," Gia pinned her hands to her ears and screwed her eyes shut. Tiger, who had gone to play with her toys once she boarded the ship, saw Gia in distress and decided to act. She ran to Gia's feet and stood protectively in front of her mistress. She growled, but she didn't seem to know what she was growling at. Gia picked up her cub and hugged her close. She glared at the empty ship. "Milk."

"Gia, we're not doing anything," Jake told her. At the same time, Rebecca stepped out with Ryan. The little girl was still a little groggy from her nap, but no longer crying. She was nestled in Rebecca's arms contently as she continued to wake up. Rebecca walked back out and decided now that everyone was up and around she would tell them of her decision.

"Can we talk about something?" she asked.

"Milk," Gia said. Rebecca frowned.

"What?"

"Gia, we'd stop, but we're not doing anything," Jake insisted again and then Gia felt someone take her hand. She pulled away and screamed again. Her fear worried the Rangers and upset Ryan. The little girl never liked to see the others in pain so when Gia screamed, it unsettled her again.

"Here, I'll take her," Troy offered to Rebecca and took Ryan in his arms. However, doing so didn't seem to calm her like it normally did. Instead, Ryan let out a scream of her own. Troy tried to sooth her, but every touch and anything he said only seemed to upset her more. "Ry, it's me," he said to her but she wanted to be put down. Deciding to do so and hoping it would calm her down to stand in her own, Troy set the little girl on her feet. Ryan screamed as she ran from him and right to Gia. She grabbed the yellow Ranger's legs and hid behind them fearfully. Gia held Tiger in one arm and then scooped the baby up with the other."

"Milk," Gia growled. "Now!"

"Maybe something is wrong," Noah suggested. "Tensou..."

"I don't detect anything," the little robot answered. "I can run a few test, though. Gia..."

"I'm not the whack job here," Gia shook her head. "If you insist you can see them, take one of them to do your little tests. I'm leaving!"

"Gia..."

"You all suck!" Gia shouted. She gave Ryan back to Rebecca and then walked off the ship.
