Baxter Stockman is back, and he has a new plan to enact vengeance on Shredder, Krang and the turtles, and it starts with the discovery of a long-buried alien spaceship.
Tropes:
- Ancient Astronauts: The temple found buried beneath New York is revealed to be a long-abandoned (and still-functioning) transdimensional space-ship.
- Idiot Ball: Shredder points out how obvious it is that Baxter Stockman is luring him into a trap. Krang dismisses his worries and tells them to go in anyway, leading to Shredder getting turned into a bug by Baxter's mutation ray.
- Irony: At the end of the episode, Baxter Stockman finds himself snagged in the web of a spider-creature between dimensions.
