1998? - days/weeks after 534-TOWW
-   nature spirit Erutan aids the Rangers (535-SpOW)
    [New Year's some time shortly after 534-TOWW would give T.J. a reason to suddenly but reluctantly take up jogging every morning (535-SpOW), as a possible New Year's resolution. Otherwise, New Year's would have passed some time within 536-Conf (see next entry).]

days/weeks later
-   Cassie sings with Crash and the Creeps, secretly monsters, for weeks before their destruction on a Friday, the day of the Angel Grove Lake broadcast (536-Conf)
    [Numerous days passed within this episode, probably over several weeks, if not longer, for the band to establish popularity and be given their own concert broadcast from Angel Grove Lake (536-Conf).]

    [During her battle with the warrior, Astronema was shown with her original purple hair (733-FPst), suggesting that her battle had occurred prior to 601-FON1, perhaps as part of her training by Ecliptor.]

weeks after 545-CIS2 - nighttime
-   Megaship arrives in Earth orbit (603-SOSh)
    [After the teens' departure in the Megashuttle, the Youth Center was apparently sold and completely remodeled into the Surf Spot, a transition which must have taken weeks.]

days/weeks later
-   Zhane revived (620-SvSv)

days later
-   Zhane restores powers (622-SvSc)
    [In 621-Envy, Zhane had apparently only been back for a few days at the most before the misunderstanding with Andros, and the scan of Zhane's powers in 622-SvSc, due to its urgency, couldn't have taken place more than a day after Zhane had told Alpha of his problem in the end of 621-Envy.]

days/weeks later
-   Zhane stays with KO-35 Rebels (624-ZhnD)

days later - late June / early July, 1998

-   Rangers destroy Psycho Pink (633-Rift)

next day - July 16, 1998 - Thursday
-   Rangers destroy Psycho Blue (634-FOAK)
    [After Psycho Pink's destruction (633-Rift), the teens planned to strategize on the bridge and were doing so another day in 634-FOAK, making it probably the next day.]

next day - July 17, 1998 - Friday
-   Psycho Rangers steal Mega Voyager (635-SiGo)
    [At the beginning of the episode, Andros crossed Psycho Blue and Psycho Pink off of a new display board and announced two down (635-SiGo), indicating it was probably only a short period of time since Psycho Blue's destruction in 634-FOAK. Additionally, the date for this day was given on Cassie's pager. (635-SiGo)]
