* BreadEggsMilkSquick: When Shredder approaches the street punks for volunteers to become mutants, he explains that it would give them strength and powers undreamed of, and mightier than a dozen normal men. The gang is uninterested. When Shredder also mentions that it would enable them to get even with the Turtles, who had humiliatingly defeated them in the previous episode, a line instantly forms.

* CreateYourOwnHero: It turns out that the Shredder was the one who left mutagen in the sewers (provided for him by Krang), thinking that Yoshi would have always been a threat to him if he didn't do away with him once and for all. The fact that it turned him into a fully sapient [[RatMen mutant rat]] and [[NiceJobFixingitVillain provided him with four new ninjas in the long run]] wasn't the plan.


Added DiffLines:

* StatingTheSimpleSolution: When Shredder and Krang discuss how the mutagen did nothing but [[TookALevelInBadass make Hamato Yoshi more powerful by giving him his turtle-sons and "the powers of the rats"]], Krang gives Shredder the idea to use the same mutagen to create his own mutant warriors to enforce his will and do away with their new turtle problem.

* DisneyDeath: The Turtles drop two Roadkill Rodneys into a deep drop. They're shown to have climbed themselves out of it later.

"We have to stop them!"

* SecondEpisodeIntroduction:
** Krang makes his first appearance here, though he wouldn't get his robot body until the fifth episode.
** Bebop and Rocksteady were seen in the previous episode, though as humans. This episode have them mutate into their better known forms.
** The Technodrome makes finally its full appearance here. Though it did sort of make an appearance in the first episode, but the only thing that we saw of it was the control room from which Shredder spent most of that episode in. And we also learn of its name in the previous episode.
* WeCanRuleTogether: The Shredder reveals that he was the source of the ooze that mutated them (in the course of trying to poison Hamato Yoshi), and claims that it means they are ''destined'' to work for him. The Turtles tell him where to stick it.
-->'''Raphael:''' Does the phrase, "Go suck a lemon" hold any meaning for you?
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: What became of the rhino and warthog following Bebop and Rocksteady's mutation is unknown.
