!! This episode provides examples of

* AccidentalHero: Raphael is cornered by the mob and about to resort to defending himself when Mrs. Morrison opens her door and mistakes him for a friend's son. She invites him inside before anyone gets hurt.
* BatmanGambit: Michaelangelo fakes his and Splinter's deaths by way of getting hit by a subway in order to get a breather from fighting and to follow Mr. Touch and Mr. Go back to who hired them. As Mikey confronts them head on, he has Splinter fog up the room with a fire extinguisher; while Mikey exploits his ninja training, Touch is unable to find Go and wears down enough to be defeated.
-->'''Mikey:''' Y'know, Sensei, this whole using your mind thing? It's wild! First I thought, "Throw them in front of the train." But then I thought, "No, let them think they're throwing us in front of the train!" And then--\\
'''Splinter:''' Yes, yes, my son. [[DeadpanSnarker It is a brave new world for you.]]
* BigGuyLittleGuy: Mr. Go is an average sized man, slightly taller than Mike and Splinter. Mr. Touch is almost as tall and huge as [[EvilIsBigger Hun]].
* BlindAndTheBeast: Occurs between Raphael and an old woman named Mrs. Morrison, in a story adapted from the original comic book.
* CantGetAwayWithNuthin: Leo's relatively rare NotSoAboveItAll moment racing Raph back to the lair ends with Raph going missing for a period of time (mostly visiting Mrs. Morrison, but he did get chased by an angry mob for awhile too). Leo is visibly anxious by the time Raph finally gets back, not knowing if something had happened to him.
* CoolOldLady: Mrs. Morrison.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Splinter tells Mikey that he is the most naturally athletic of his brothers, but laments the fact that he rarely uses his mind in a fight.
* DescriptionCut: When Leo reaches the lair before Raph, he concludes that Raph must be in some kind of trouble.
-->'''Leo:''' He should've been back by now. ''(sigh)'' Knowing Raph, he's probably gotten himself into some kind of serious trouble.\\
''(Cut to Raph slurping a cup of tea at Mrs. Morrison's)''\\
'''Mrs. Morrison:''' Don't slurp, son.\\
'''Raph:''' ''(politely)'' Oh, uh, sorry, ma'am.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Leonardo, Raphael, and Casey help repair April's shop, but ShipTease ensues, so she's focusing on thanking Casey. Leo takes it in stride; Raph feels rather put out and points out he did more work than Casey.
* EurekaMoment: Mikey gets an idea how to beat Mr. Touch and Mr. Go after hearing their names and figuring out how their powers work.
* InnocuouslyImportantEpisode:
** The news report mentions a good deal of damage and Triceraton technology remain throughout the city. Shredder will soon play VillainWithGoodPublicity over this, seemingly helping pay for the damages but secretly obtaining the available alien technology.
** While Hun getting defeated is nothing new, his failure in this episode will actually be the beginning of an arc in which the Shredder begins losing faith in his usefulness.
** When Mikey chastises him for bungling the TV reception, Leatherhead gets noticeably angry before Donatello gets him to relax. The Turtles don't think much of it, but it hints at Leatherhead's severe anger issues that will boil over in the next episode.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Raphael enjoys Mrs. Morrison's company and gets her some much needed money to pay her mortgage.
* KindheartedCatLover: Mrs M’s cat, Lucy, takes a liking to Raph
* LampshadeHanging: When Splinter calls his mind unruly and undisciplined, Mikey points out he is a teenager, after all.
* TheManBehindTheMan: Hun hired Mr. Touch and Mr. Go to go after the Turtles and Splinter.
* MistakenForAliens: Happens to Raph while above ground.
* NotQuiteDead: Mr. Touch and Mr. Go are sent flying out a skyscraper window and hit the pavement, but to Splinter's surprise, they managed to get up and flee the scene.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Leo on the prospect of racing Raph back to the lair.
* ShipTease: April is quite appreciative to Casey for the repair work, and he says he'd do anything for her. Leo takes this as a cue to leave.
* ShoutOut:
** Losing sight of Raph, one of the mob suggests he [[Film/ETTheExtraTerrestrial phoned home]].
** Mikey refers to Mr. Touch and Mr. Go as [[WesternAnimation/{{Superfriends}} the Wonder Twins]].
** Mikey calls Mr. Touch "Creator/MrT," followed up with an "[[CharacterCatchphrase I pity the fool]]."
** Splinter says that Mikey using his mind in a fight is a "[[Theatre/TheTempest brave new world]]" for him.
* SoProudOfYou: Splinter when Mikey starts using his brain for something other than his mouth.
* VictoryByEndurance: In the last fight, Michaelangelo forces Mr. Touch to exert himself and burn through his remaining power more quickly. Once Touch is worn down, Mikey sends him and Go flying out a window.
* VigilanteMilitia: A mob of New Yorkers are roaming the streets, seeking to detain or harm any stranded Triceraton soldiers left behind from the recent invasion of Earth. Naturally, they mistake Raphael for an alien and chase after him.
* WeHelpTheHelpless: The various members of the Justice Force are helping clean up the damage to the city.
* WoobieOfTheWeek: Mrs. Morrison is a blind widow about to lose her home, which naturally tugs at Raph's heartstrings. He ensures she doesn't have to move out.
* WonderTwinPowers: Mr. Touch and Mr. Go. When they make physical contact the former gains SuperStrength and the latter gains SuperSpeed. It's temporary and they have to regularly "recharge" by touching again, a fact betrayed by their paired names if it doesn't become obvious from merely watching them.
