Plot

In the Foot Headquarters, The Shredder, in his left hand, is property/torturing a Kraang that he had captured and interrogates it well-nigh why they were strictly pursuing/hunting the Turtles when he had encountered the two aliens in the previous episode. At kickoff, the Kraang's speech is not understandable at all, every bit they just produce senseless squealing when fully out of their exo-suits. When inserted into its exoskeleton (which Karai was able to take in "The Alien Calendar"), however, it completely refuses to speak in whatsoever style. When The Shredder threatens it with one of his unsheathed gauntlet blades, information technology begrudgingly admits that the girl April O'Neil is the very link that is missing from The Kraang's conspiracy, and that the Turtles are the ones that take been harboring - and succeeding in - protecting her. Shredder then orders his adoptive daughter, Karai, to try to observe April and capture her. He believes that, with her 'immense, unequaled value', they could possibly use her as a means to lure all five of his adversaries all the way out from their odd place of hiding.

Down in the sewers, everyone is immersed in their training. While April is there practicing some of her moves alongside Splinter, Donnie and Leo are dueling, and Raph and Mikey are doing and so as well. Raph attacks Mikey head on, but the latter so moves into a position that allows him to flip Raph over when he attacks. Mikey joyously celebrates for a moment, but then Raph gets up and grabs him from behind, enervating him to give up. Mikey complies, merely for Splinter to stride into the scene and teach his pupils however some other valuable lesson. He instructs Raph to catch him from behind in Japanese. Raph does and so, just like the latter did with Mikey; but instead of surrendering, Splinter promptly licks Raph in the face. Plainly disgusted by this, Raph lets his sensei go and this allows himself to become easily defeated. Splinter and so remarks that Raph should take a bath into consideration...

Just when Leo, Mikey and Raph are all watching "Infinite Heroes", Donnie comes in, talking near the results of a test that he and April just finished. He explains that The Kraang accept recently put a small amount of a sure chemical into the New York City's water supply (which he constitute out because of the Kraang data storage device that he decrypted), which is extremely dangerous. Mikey and then accidentally knocks over the container of purified Kraang water that Donnie managed to segregate from a little bit of sewage, and it spills right onto April'south arm, but, oddly, information technology does non accept any noticeable effects on her....She quickly shrugs this enigma off, however - and then decides to become up to the surface to get a bite of some real 'human food' for a alter and think nearly an essay that is due. Donnie then tells the others that they tin destroy the underwater Kraang base (which they've determined is where the Mutagen is existence put into the h2o) with another invention of his: A absurd-looking submarine. All the same, it runs primarily on kinetic free energy, which means that the Turtles accept to constantly supply it by pedaling on stationery bikes (until both of the engines are totally charged).

As they begin to approach the Kraang's secret base of operations, they come across a large fauna that Donnie assumes is from Dimension X. They are able to easily outsmart it, still, and successfully intermission into the base undetected. When Leo says 'We've got bigger fish to fry now', Mikey playfully cracks a joke to as a mere fashion to try and pass fourth dimension: "I don't call up we're gonna' find a bigger fish than that."

Meanwhile, Apr unknowingly encounters Karai on the surface when the former has problem figuring out how to piece of work a make new blazon of food machine upwardly in that location. Afterwards helping April out, Karai asks if she can join her; April actually says aye, simply she is still very oblivious to this stranger'south true identity. The two then enter Murakami'south noodle shop. They begin engaging in a relatively serene conversation and the two are actually able to place some similarities that they accept. Eventually, Karai (who, at first, comes up with the alias 'Harmony' to fool April) ends her facade and promptly decides to reveal herself when April is virtually baited into trying her gild: Turtle soup!! April then tries to exit, but Karai grabs the strap of her purse from backside and pulls her dorsum, telling her that she is coming with her...Thank you to Murakami, however, April manages to make a quick escape. She steals a Pizza commitment guy'southward motorized bicycle (much to the guy's resentment), just is pursued by Karai on a motorcycle that she quickly finds in the area.

Only every bit the Turtles prepare to attack a big horde of Kraang, April calls Donnie at a horrible fourth dimension. She tells him that Karai is after her, which causes him to panic a tremendous corporeality - However, he tells her to stay at-home as much as possible, but to keep some distance between herself and her pursuer...He and his brothers soon defeat all of The Kraang with relative ease, but Don and then tries to urge the others to exit so that they can help April. However, Leo and Raph reminds him that they need to destroy the chemical tanks in the base start earlier they can rush to her aid. So, Donnie manages to rig a Kraang gun to become off in less than 90 seconds, only the animate being from earlier breaks into the room from a pigsty below and attacks the Turtles, complicating matters further. All the same, Mikey seemingly defeats it and all four Turtles escape just earlier the base itself erupts in a massive explosion. Nevertheless, the creature somehow managed to survive, and it begins chasing down the sub, thinking of information technology is a female of its very own species!!! The gargantuan beast latches on (much to the turtles' horror and disgust), only Leo pulls downwards a lever that releases some blazon of depth charges, which, in plough, crusade the fauna to release them, leaving it emotionally crushed.

Back in the city, Karai is forced to take to the rooftops (due to a moving van that is backing upward and impedes her path forward) and starts tracking April from above for a short while, just the latter unintentionally ends upward trapping herself in an alley way. April bravely draws her new weapon (that Splinter offered her a couple episodes back) and Karai compliments its utter 'beauty', before apace disarming April and throwing the tessen bated. April and so tries attacking her opponent directly, merely Karai manages to dodge every single one of her attacks. Just when April starts running towards Karai once again, Karai delivers a kick that sends April reeling backwards. She then kicks April into the wall of a building, earlier mercilessly kicking her again and again in both the shoulders & breast.

April falls downwards, though gathers but enough inner-strength to get herself support, merely she has already become extremely weak. Karai and then grabs April, hoists her upward on her knee, and punches her hard in the gut. She then knocks April onto the street'south sidewalk with even so another fervent kick. While Karai continues attacking, she jealously demands to know what makes April and so very important to everyone. April, withal, is able to verbally defend herself and provide her own form of questions. Merely when Karai has her truly pinned down, April mentions that she lost her mother. For some reason, this causes Karai to hesitate quite a bit (most likely because something similar might have occurred with her) and she then becomes flabbergasted when she realizes that the 2 of them actually have a commonality of some sort. April then remembers the lesson that Splinter had taught both her and the Turtles before. She then gathers up enough strength to catch Karai past the collar, throw her over her ain head and down some nearby subway stairs - and Apr then escapes on one of the motorcycles, proverb to herself, "Not bad for a nobody." Karai chop-chop gets herself dorsum on her anxiety as well - only then looks upward and bears what appears to exist a rather guilt-ridden expression on her face up; All the same over again, this might suggest more than than a matter or two...

Soon, Donnie gets a phone call from April and tells his brothers that his "sweetness princess" is alive, much to his brothers' badgerer. The Turtles and Apr all meet back upward in the sewer lair, where April tells them all about her own dramatic duel with Karai and her outset, laudable victory. As expected, all of the Turtles are quite impressed by what she tells them, merely Splinter (who does tell her that she used her training well, on the bright side) is as well more than or less concerned and tells her that, since both the Kraang and the Foot Clan seem to be subsequently Apr now, the smartest conclusion would be for April to stay with them in the sewers as much as possible, since information technology is the only place that she is truly safe. This results in Apr protesting - and Donnie briefly cheering with joy....At commencement, she is very upset, due to the fact that she won't be seeing whatsoever of her good friends or family members for quite a while (or going to school), but Leo reiterates to her that everything will become back to normal once The Kraang and Shredder take been defeated for good, and have truly exited out of her life (and when her male parent has been rescued once and for all), which makes Apr strictly determined to become her old life back.

Trivia

• Several clues are given to Karai'south origins:
  • In this episode, April reveals she lost her female parent. Karai's reaction implies that she has also lost her mother. This could refer to Karai's possible past as Splinter's girl, where Tang Shen, Splinter's wife and Miwa's mother, was killed in the burn down.
  • The proper noun "Harmony" Karai uses to innovate herself to April tin be read with the kanji 美和, which reads "Miwa" in English, and translates as "Cute Harmony".
• The sea monster in this episode is strongly based off the legendary "Loch Ness Monster".
• The scene where Shredder and the captured Kraang having difficulty talking to each other is loosely based on their 80's counterparts.
• This is the offset fourth dimension Apr used her weapon Splinter gave her in "Baxter's Gambit".
• Donnie introduces a new invention: the Turtle Sub (a submarine powered past stationary bikes). By accident or deliberation, information technology could exist a pun reference to the Turtle, the first submersible vessel e'er constructed, invented by David Bushnell in 1776, which was likewise powered past a pedaling bulldoze.
• Karai's line that her father "is in kitchen utensils" was likely a reference to the 1987 series, where in the first meet between Shredder and the Turtles, Raphael replied to the Shredder introducing himself by calling him "a kitchen utensil".
• Karai's "Turtle Soup" line is loosely based off the well known Shredder quote "Tonight, I dine on Turtle Soup." from past Ninja Turtles incarnations.
• When the Turtle Sub goes into stealth style, the lighting makes the turtles look similar they all have cherry bandanas, which was their look in the original Mirage Comics.
• Evidently, April learned Japanese from the turtles.
• A very adult joke occurs when the bounding main monster amorously mounts the Turtle Sub every bit if attempting to mate. As Red Dwarf'southward David Lister said, "Information technology's either gonna eat us, kill the states, or hump us!".
• When April steals the Pizza delivery boy'due south bike, she says "I'll bring information technology dorsum someday!" This is a reference to the first episode of the Pokémon anime, where Ash stole Misty's bike and said these same lines.
• This is the simply episode that Karai is seen in a civilian outfit.

Errors

• As April heads out of the Lab, her left ear is seen to exist tucked under her hair and headband.
• When the Turtles are getting out of the sub towards the end of the episode, Mikey's mask is purple instead of orange.
