At the end of the episode, April returns to the sewers and apologizes to the turtles for being angry. She says she was solely in the wrong (which is not true; if the Turtles had done their job in the season premier and worked together, none of the mutagen problems would have happened), but whatever, she learned to forgive her friends and not hold grudges. The scene chugs along well with sweet moments where April reconnects with her sensei and Mikey offering her bug-covered pizza. But then at the very end it goes off the rails when she thanks Donnie for being there even when she didn’t want him to be. Karai’s story “paradoxes” (Mikey’s attempt at saying parallel) April’s story as she realizes that she can’t trust her allies. While continuing to betray Shredder, she turns to the Krang to create Chrome Dome, a new robot designed to hurt April and the Turtles. It seems that she isn’t jockeying for control of the Foot Clan, but is instead using every option she has to get revenge against Splinter. However, the Krang end up double-crossing Karai. They installed a failsafe in Chrome Dome so that instead of terminating April, it tries to bring her back to the Krang. It’s a clever way to save April and show that the Krang still need April for… something. I LOVE THE ’80s: Donnie shouts “I love being a turtle,” which is a line used in the films and 2003 cartoon theme song. Casey played hockey against Troma Town, possibly a reference to Tromaville, home of the Toxic Avenger. Like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter for all news updates related to the world of geek.
