History Recap / TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012S1E2RiseOfTheTurtlesPart2

* IncrediblyLamePun: Two from Raph.
** "An all-you-can-beat buffet" and "I'm gonna ''shellac'' you!"

* SetAMookToKillAMook: The Turtles trick the Kraang into shooting at Snakeweed to force him into position for their plan.

After interrogating Snake and learning about the Kraang, the turtles start to plan how to get into the Kraang's stronghold. Using a van as a distraction while they scale a nearby wall they manage to get in, but are caught relatively quickly and need to fight their way through the base. Though they locate the O'Neils, the two are quickly ushered out of their cell and loaded onto a helicopter. The turtles are hindered in their pursuit by the appearance Snakeweed-- formerly Snake-- who has mutated into a giant plant monster. While Leonardo, Raphael and Michelangelo take on Snakeweed, Donatello goes to rescue the O'Neils, but only manages to save April. Don promises April-- who's been taken in by her aunt-- that they'll help her find her dad. Meanwhile, in Japan, the Shredder discovers that Hamato Yoshi is alive thanks to one of the Turtles' shuriken making the news, and decides to go to New York.

* FigureItOutYourself: Leo asks Splinter why he was made leader, Splinter's reply boils down to this.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: If you're paying attention to the background as Snake is shouting at the Kraang, you can see [[spoiler: weeds growing out of cracks in the pavement, allowing one to figure out what he's mutating into while the screen only shows silhouettes.]]

* MyGreatestFailure: Splinter tells the story of how he [[spoiler: fought the Shredder and lost his wife and daughter.]]

** Driving an empty van into an enemy's stronghold [[spoiler: to act as a distraction/decoy]] sounds suspiciously familiar.

* SinisterSilhouettes: [[spoiler: Snakeweed as he's mutating.]] This likely doubles as a GoryDiscretionShot.

* TwitchyEye: Of the annoyance variety, demonstrated as Snake is getting fed up with the Kraang's BuffySpeak.

* IndyPloy: Leo starts out with plan to break into the Kraang's compound to save April and her dad. It works until they're inside the building, but things fall apart pretty fast and he's forced to improvise from there.

* ChekhovsGun: Leo's signing (from the first part of the premier) and the power conduits.

* IncrediblyLamePun: "An all-you-can-beat buffet"
** "I'm gonna ''shellac'' you!"

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: April gets to behave more like the PluckyGirl she is in later episodes in exactly two scenes; first when she tries to pull a TheGuardsMustBeCrazy, and later when she swears to track down the Kraang and save her dad.

* IncrediblyLamePun: "An all you can beat buffet"

* ItGotWorse: The fight with Snakeweed turning into a fight with Snakeweed ''and'' Kraang-droids.
** Meanwhile, Don's trying to hold onto a moving helicopter... and then he starts getting shot at.
