When the alien cat thing paralyzed him T.J ,for a brief second, worried if the whole mindreader thing had been a trick of some kind. He quickly realized though that that was stupid and relaxed. Eventually the "cat" was done reading his mind and stopped paying attention to him. From the reactions from everyone he could tell it was unusual though he had no idea why. 

Still judging from the fact he and Mike were ordered to be released and handed their equipment it was clear he had gotten their trust, which was a good thing as his teammates had found them and a threeway battle would have added all kinds of unnecessary complications. As soon as he was given his morpher, he spun his globe and transformed. "What is the fastest way to the fight?"

Mike had no idea what was going but since the girl running into his room had all his equipment and gave it to him, he was sure T.J had managed to explain things to their former captors. While he morphed she explained about the attack and the fact that it seemed his alles had found him and T.J.

She then guided him to the nearest exit so he could help in the battle. Along the way he and the blue Ranger met up, each using the fact that the other was in costume to confirm they both at least knew the basic situation.
