** Leonardo is rather quiet and somber during an early scene--setting up the anger he'll be struggling with for half the season. Splinter's opening narration also hints at this, saying he suspects his sons are dealing with more then just physical wounds.

* BreatherEpisode: Big time. The show has been on an adrenaline rush since the Ultimate Drako arc and has seen its darkest episodes to date since then, particularly the dramatic third season finale where the Turtles and Splinter attempted a murder-suicide out of desperation to stop the Shredder. This episode still has a rather solemn undertone due to everyone suffering from their wounds, but it’s a big comedown from the dark, epic scope of the last several episodes. The Purple Dragons and Sid are similarly far less dangerous or depraved threats to handle than Shredder, Bishop, or Ultimate Drako.
