But later on, she is become a cat monster, but the form was destroyed by Ninjor and Ninja Megafalconzord. Katherine is turned back between her cat and human form. Although she was in her human form, Katherine is quite stole the Kimberly's power coin and then sneaked into Falconzord and stole it after knocking Tommy down. But because of her kind heart, Katherine will soon get rid of the spell. When she broke free, she was near Angel Grove's Gym & Juice Bar, and Kimberly trained inside the Pan-Global Games. When she came in, she saw Kimberly, still tired in the last few battles, trying to stay focused on the balance beam. she eventually lost her balance and fell to the floor.
Katherine feeling guilty for part of her responsibilities because she was involved in Rita's plan and take Kimberly to the hospital. When Tommy and Billy, who were visiting Kimberly, were called to help Rocky, Adam, and Aisha, Katherine visited Kimberly and admitted what she did while being influenced by the spells of Rita, but she known about Kimberly and her friends are the Power Rangers, especially when Tommy tells her about the experience influenced by Rita. Rita and Zedd sent Garbage Man to capture Katherine and broke their dream to destroy new friends with her. But when the Garbage Man failed, Zedd and Rita gave the Rangers the final pass: either they gave up Katherine, or their ally Ninjor would be sent to the bottom of the Sea of Sorrow. The Rangers experienced with the deal and met Rita, Rito, Goldar, and Tengas, but they were found to contain Ninjor's containers empty, because of the Ranger's plan B, they activated a shield to protect Katherine from evil.
However, Katherine was kidnapped by Rito into a dungeon as Rita and Zedd waited for the Sea of Sorrow's high tide, Rito had a sore neck, stood guard and allowed Katherine to massage the neck before falling asleep. When Katherine got the key from him and got out she noticed a box in which Rito told her that it was Kimberly's pink power coin. Once she got it, she was transferred to the Command Center and was able to give the coin back to Kimberly. After successfully completing the Pan-Global Trials and having the opportunity to participate in the Pan-Global Games, Kimberly went to Pan Globals with the support of her friends and decided to withdraw from the team and pass her coin to Katherine because she become a new Pink Ranger.
During her time as a Ranger, Katherine will fight against various villains. At first it was Rita Repulsa and Lord Zedd. But that was a very short time. Soon after, a new villain - Master Vile - came to look for Zeo Crystal, which was hidden in the deceitful cave under Lord Zedd's Lunar Palace. Katherine has a plan on how to claim Zeo Crystal without anyone else in Zedd's Palace, and distracts Rita and Zedd from the evil side, but makes sure she is loyal to her proposal, Zedd and Rita imprisoned her into a chamber, and when it reached its full powers, it would permanently return Katherine to evil. Fortunately, Tommy found Zeo Crystal in the "Deception Cave" and used it to release Kat from Zedd's prison.

In the Netflix special, Katherine is summoned to Cranston Tech's Command Center while spending time with her son J.J. in his junior karate competition. Dismayed as much as Rocky at first, she immediately grasps the gravity of the situation upon learning Putties' invasion and Tommy, Jason, and Kimberly's capture at hands fo Rita Repulsa. Thus, the two take the initiative to use Proxy Pterodactyl Coin and Proxy Tyrannosaurus Coin respectively to assume their Ranger mantles once more despite its risks as pointed by Zack.

==Trivia==
*Katherine Hillard is the third longest serving power ranger after Adam Park and Tommy Oliver.
*Although Catherine Sutherland is one of the most dedicated PR actresses to the franchise, Katherine Hillard is seen by fans as one of the worst Pink rangers. This is not only due to her replacing fan-favourite Kimberly Hart but when she becomes a Ranger, she is resulted almost into a complete damsel in distress, especially in Zeo. She often gets defeated quite easily, even by the foot soldiers and unlike Pink rangers like Rose Ortiz, was almost nable of taking care of monsters by herself. To further drive this point, a fan managed to compile a video of entire instance of her ass handed to her constantly in Zeo!
**It was arguably for this reasons writers of Once and Always rectified her characterization so as to make her Kimberly's proper successor through following points in the special:
***More than willing to utilize Proxy Pterodactyl Coin to become Mighty Morphin Pink Ranger once more due to her predecessor's capture at the time despite Zack's concern over its apparent risks.
***Easily handles Patties while evacuating civilians at the same time.
***Suggesting the clever idea of using a giant electromagnet to temporarily incapacitate Robo-Minotaur and Robo-Snizzard knowing their new forms being mainly made of metal thus susceptible to magnetism.
***Displaying astonishing teamwork with Zack and Rocky in taking out Robo-Minotaur where she utilizes Power Bow to rid the villain of his shield, and finally...
***Given the responsibility of destroying Robo-Rita's time machine thus avenging her brainwashing by Rita's original self years back.
*It's implied in the same special that Katherine already familiar with Putty Patrollers — Rita Repulsa's original foot soldiers — presumably from reviewing Rangers' archives pertaining them at one point instead of directly encountered them like Kimberly did, remarking new generation of said foot soldiers created by Robo-Rita still sounded like 'angry turkey' upon encountering them on the field as if expecting Putties received significant changes since the last time her fellow Rangers fought them.
