"The Purple Jacket"
An evil tech club lures Donnie with the promise of a gorgeous purple jacket.
- Adaptational Job Change: In this version, the Purple Dragons are a tech club who commit cyber crimes rather than a New York gang.
- Bait-and-Switch: When Donnie returns to the lair showing off his new jacket, Leo, Raph and Mikey act uninterested, but as he leaves, they show how frustrated they are.
- Both Sides Have a Point: April warned Donnie that the Purple Dragons weren't worth praising since they are jerks among the nerds in the Computer Club. However, Donnie reminds April that she never said they were cyber criminals. Granted, she didn't know about that fact before they saw the news.
- Epic Fail: When Donnie tries to use the old method (climbing claws) he learns they don't quite work as well with glass.
- Friend-or-Idol Decision: Despite learning the Purple Dragons' true nature, he still loves their jacket, even after learning it had a tracking device that led to them stealing his gear. He decides to sacrifice it to prevent Kendra's escape with the stolen data, especially when April refused to use hers.
- I Warned You: April did try to warn Donnie about the purple dragons, but was he listening? No.
- Never My Fault: Donnie takes no responsibility for not noticing how Obviously Evil the Purple Dragons were.
- Senseless Sacrifice: Donnie sacrifices his beloved Purple Dragon jacket when he could've simply used the normal hoodie he also had on him.
"Pizza Pit"
It’s Pizza Week, the greatest week of the year, but the Turtles’ favorite pizza joints keep getting taken out.
- Berserk Button: Mickey quickly grows one against DIGG for all of the destroy pizza places, including his own favorite.
- Breaking the Fourth Wall: At the end of the episode, Raph is still narrating. Leo asks who he’s talking to and Raph looks at the camera and winks.
- Brick Joke: Donnie suspects at first an urban monster called "Pizzasaurus" is involved in the destruction of his and his brothers' pizza places (which just so happens to take place in the middle of Pizza Week), until they discover DIGG being the real culprits. In the end, they finally enjoy their pizza... not notice that Pizzasaurus is wreaking havoc behind them.
- Contrived Coincidence: Literally, it's only the turtles' bad luck their favorite pizza places were built on top of those pillars DIGG target to bring down an auditorium in the middle.
- Does Not Like Spam: The members of DIGG explain to the turtles that they don't even like pizza, and that destroying the turtles' favorite pizzerias was purely a coincidence.
- Jump Scare: The turtles stop mid-air when they are intercepted by Honey Badger.
- Mythology Gag: Pictures of the 2012 Ninja Turtles, the Mirage Ninja Turtles and the 1987 Ninja Turtles can be seen on Donatello's conspiracy board.
- Stating the Simple Solution: The band was destroying the Turtle's favorite pizza joints because they were going to bring down an entire stadium so that they could get recognition. When Raphael learns this, he comes up with a less destructive method; have them play the opening to the new pizza joint the four original managers open together.
- Unknown Rival: The Turtles think DIGG is destroying their favorite pizzerias as a vendetta against them. Turns out the band doesn’t even know who they are and they are only destroying the pizzerias as collateral damage.
- Verbal Tic: "Dig" is this for Groundhog, doesn't help that it's her favorite thing to do after being mutated with her bandmates.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: DIGG just wanted somewhere to play their gig, but there's a problem. It involves burying a stadium full of people (a literal "captive audience"), and their plan involved destroying pizza restaurants in the city. The Turtles decide to get the chefs to form one huge pizza restaurant and have DIGG play at the opening.
