* HeelRealization: Implied. After Raph explains to Tokka that his reason for taking Chompy with him to Earth was because he and the other thought she was dead, Tokka's pupils widen, realizing that Raph's intentions were pure. It helps calm her down and grants Raph her permission to continue raising Chompy (until he's old enough to return home).

Added DiffLines:

* SparingTheFinalMook: When Griffin's soldiers attempt to arrest Bishop, he easily beats them. The last soldiers panics and tries to surrender and Bishop points to the ground to indicate that [[ThrowingTheFight the soldier should pretend as though Bishop knocked him out too]]. After taking a second or two to understand what Bishop is trying to say, the soldier fakes a cry of pain and falls to the floor as though Bishop beat him like the rest of the soldiers.

** Early in the episode, the Turtles and Casey are standing idly in a TCRI elevator. While they wait, Mikey begins beatboxing and tapping his nunchucks together to make a beat, in a clear reference to the 2014 film.
