History Recap / TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012S2E26TheInvasionPart2

* InternalHomage: The halfway point is a recreation of ''Leonardo #1'' from the Mirage Comics, which was also adapted into the [[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles first movie]] and [[Recap/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003S1E17TheShredderStrikesBackPart1 2003 cartoon as The Shredder Strikes Back.]] While the rest of the team is at April's apartment, Leonardo (Raphael in the Movie) fights a hoard of foot soldiers in the streets, ultimately being worn down by sheer numbers. After falling in battle, his bruised body crashes through April's window, cueing the other turtles to get out of town. Defeated, they decide to take refuge at an old farm house in North Hampton to recover and plan a counter attack. Of course this version also takes place during a Kraang invasion, but it hits the major beats regardless.

* HereWeGoAgain: Kriby got mutated a ''second'' time.

* RealityEnsues: Being dunked in freezing cold water severely drains cold-blooded Leo of what little strength he has left, but luckily he has enough fight in him left to fend off the Shredder's henchmen.

* LoveTriangle: Donnie ''finally'' puts his feelings for April and jealousy towards Casey aside during the invasion, when previously he got distracted by it during several crises.

* HereWeGoAagin: Kriby got mutated a ''second'' time.

* FromBadToWorse: Casey [[ContinuityNod references the Technodrome incident from last year]], and says that the invasion this year is actually ''even worse''. As the plot is essentially nothing but the heroes getting bested at every possible turn, this episode is ''built'' on this trope.
