9	* BluntYes: Hun's response to when Casey asks if he still wants the ring, despite what it would do to him.

11	* TheBusCameBack: Hun is seen for the first time (outside of the opening credits and his appearance in the fabricated tales of "The Journal" last season) since [[Recap/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesS5E13EnterTheDragonsPart2 the end of Season 5]].
12	* CatchAFallingStar: Raph catches April and Casey when Casey removes April's ring, reverting her back to her normal human form a hundred feet up in the air.

17	* HeCleansUpNicely: Casey looks particularly swoon-worthy in his tux.
18	* HopeSpot: When the demonic April attacks the Purple Dragons' helicopter, Mikey wonders if this means she's still on their side. Her turning her attention to the Turtles' helicopter quickly sets him straight.
19	* {{Irony}}:
20	** When April starts behaving strangely, Casey worries it means she's going to change her mind about getting married, but Raphael is certain there's a logical explanation for all this. Cue a demonic April bursting through the wall.
21	** Out searching for the ring, Hun is most amused that his "old friend" Casey Jones has led him right to it.
22	* LettingHerHairDown: Inversion: If April's hair isn't in her trademark bun, the situation generally isn't good. When she turns into a demon it falls loose completely, yet inexplicably returns to its trademark bun when she becomes human again.

28	* PowerGlows: The Ring of Yin.
29	* ProperlyParanoid: As Hun points out, the Shredder potentially returning would be a significant threat to his well-being given his defection and reforming the Purple Dragons into a credible rival to the Foot, and that's why he's scrambling to prepare for it.
30	* RaceAgainstTheClock: Hun is in a rush to gain a powerful weapon because of rumblings that the Foot is reforming and the Shredder will soon return.
31	* RealMenWearPink: Mikey asks if he can be April's Maid of Honor. At first this just seems like Mikey's signature humor, but in "Wedding Bells and Bytes" (the series finale) its revealed that he actually ''is'' her Maid of Honor
32	* RedEyesTakeWarning: April when under the ring's influence.

35	* ThatCameOutWrong: Casey's marriage proposal to April:
36	-->'''Casey''': April, I love you like... like Gretzky loves hockey, and I [[AccidentalInnuendo wanna play you for the rest of my life]]...- Dah! I mean your life! I-I mean Gretzky's life! - I mean-

38	* WackyMarriageProposal: Casey tries to make the proposal all romantic and memorable by wearing a tux and doing it out on a lake, but he's extremely nervous and bugs start to swarm. After they both get drenched, Casey just cuts to the chase with a far more simple proposal.
