Raphael thinks he's dying and takes on a new heroic identity. Meanwhile, April is covering a Flower Society award show and encounters a new supervillain.
Tropes
- Artistic License – Physics: Raphael manages to glide over a roaring flame inside a warehouse using his cape.
- Disproportionate Retribution: Wilhelm Vanilli didn't get to name a new species of lily he had discovered, so he conspires to destroy all of Earth's plant life as revenge.
- Mistaken for Dying: Raphael overhears Donatello and Michelangelo talking about their dying oven and mistakenly thinks they are talking about him, thinking he's terminally ill with a sickness and he only has 24 hours to live.
- Mythology Gag: Raphael's "Green Defender" is similar to his Mirage comic counterpart's Nightwatcher identity.
- Secret-Identity Identity: Raphael takes on the moniker of "The Green Defender" when he thinks he's dying.
- Villain Has a Point: While his reaction is a bit extreme, Vanilli has a point that he should have the right to name the flower he discovered, even if the name is "silly."
