* CharacterDevelopment: [[Recap/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003S1E21ReturnToNewYorkPart1 Once again]], the Turtles have to break into the Shredder's headquarters, but Michelangelo is far more focused this time around, as Don's life depends on the mission. He also notes how suspicious it is that Bishop knows exactly where the Heart of Tengu is. He also tells Leo to focus when he briefly contemplates accepting Karai's challenge.


Added DiffLines:

* IronicEcho: Bishop manipulates the Turtles into getting the Heart of Tengu for him and although he holds up his end of the bargain by curing Don, he gives the Turtles fifteen minutes to vacate the premises as he prepares to destroy his base and bids them farewell by saying "Pleasure doing business with you". Then the Foot mystics manipulate Bishop and Stockman into destroying the Heart of Tengu (after manipulating Bishop into stealing it) and then one of them bids them farewell by saying "It was a pleasure doing business with you, Agent Bishop."
