The Fast and the Furriest

  • Blatant Lies: In an attempt to get Splinter to surrender himself, Donnie claims that there will be no consequences for stealing the Turtle Tank. Splinter doesn’t fall for it since he taught Donnie that lie.
  • Easily Forgiven: Despite her friends breaking into her apartment and accusing her of stealing their vehicle, April forgives them and agrees to a movie night with them.
  • Even the Dog Is Ashamed: Mayhem looks quite angry at the turtles when they wrongfully accuse April of stealing their vehicle.
  • Tranquil Fury: April maintains a friendly smile as she tells her friends to explain why they broke down her front door. She still retains it as she brings out her bat and whacks the turtles.
  • With Friends Like These...: April is accused of stealing from her friends despite having known them for years and never doing such a thing before. She is naturally not happy with their accusations.
  • You Are Grounded!: Hilariously inverted. It’s Donnie who punishes his father for stealing the Turtle Tank by limiting his TV to educational programs.

Mascot Melee

  • Dance-Off: The turtles challenge the mascots to a dance-off in Times Square.
  • Fan Disservice: Splinter’s robe has gotten so worn and raggedy that the turtles are forced to see more of their father than they should. Their main quest for the episode is to buy a new robe for Splinter.
  • Stunned Silence: Leo is visibly stunned by Atomic Lass’s performance. Donnie takes over for him, mostly to flirt with the mascot.
