** Earlier, when they are stuck in the Dark Ages, Don and Raph realize that they do not have access to high tech gadgets to get Serling's weapons back up, Mike goes up to Viral and actually manages to convince Viral to send them to their time, but he had to make it sound very, very bad. Viral send the Turtles, Splinter and Serling to yet another time: When the three Shredders are fighting each other.


Added DiffLines:

* DeathOfPersonality: The episode ends with Viral searching the internet for a power source capable of healing her wounds. After much searching, Viral comes across a [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver red and black data vault]], containing a power source more than capable of healing her wounds. She attempts to access the data vault but is unable to for unknown reasons. In the center of the data vault lurks something very odd: [[WhamShot the Foot symbol!]] A virus emerges from the Foot symbol and immediately infects Viral, effectively erasing her and her "body" morphs into that of a new cybernetic form of the Shredder seen previously in the episode.
* EnemyMine: Master Splinter invokes this by making the Cyber Shredder and the Tengu Shredder attack him, instead of each other, then he gets out of the way, making them hit the Utrom Shredder. This backfires as the three Shredders eventually stop fighting one another and gang up on the heroes.
