Chapter 45


Tropes That Appear In This Chapter:

  • Big Sister Instinct: When Miwa realizes that Bernie might have to do with her brothers slowly dying in their sleep, she immediately threatens to kill him.
  • For Want Of A Nail:
    • Donnie figured out that he was dreaming before April had to tell him.
    • Miwa steps in before Bernie can go after Casey with his chainsaw.
  • Humanity Ensues: In Leo's dream, the meteor that gave him powers also turned him back human.
  • I Just Want to Be Normal: Zig-Zagged. When he and his brothers are being hunted by the Dream Beavers, Donatello is a mutant turtle just like his brothers despite being the only human left of the four of them by this time. When questioned about this, Donatello admits that he wanted to be like them because, as quadruplets, they have done everything together since they were born and being their Token Human makes him feel alienated from them.
  • Not Me This Time: When Donatello asks why the Dream Beavers turned him into a mutant turtle in their dream, they admit that wasn't them, Donnie having subconsciously done it to be more like his brothers.
  • Pragmatic Adaptation: The events of "The Croaking" are compartmentalized.
  • Shout-Out: The chapter describes the Sugar Bowl dreamscape Dave Beaver has Mikey in as "a sugar-filled world that would give Willy Wonka cavities."
