From what I saw in the description, with Mike and Don trying to prove their just as good as Raph and Leo, who are repeatedly rubbing in that they're better than them, I got interested. I always noticed how they're always being overshadowed by the two in previous adaptions, especially in the 2007 movie.(pretty good movie by the way, you should see it) But I was worried it would become a cliche of Raph and Leo getting in peril and Don and Mike saving them. Surprizingly that wasn't the case.
They split up into two teams, Mike and Don try to retrieve April's stolen phone from the Purple dragons, and Leo and Raph pursuing mousers that appeared seemingly out of no where, which was really made by Baxter Stockman. The jokes are really good in this episode, with Leo and Raph constantly running away from the mousers, Mikey and Don doing almost nothing but thinking of what to do to get Aprils phone which is guarded by Dogpound, until the very end, and the scenes with Baxter stockman usually made me laugh.
The plot's pretty basic, and feels like filler to me until the very end when Shredder said he could make use of Stockman. But all of the characters were entertaining someway, and the dialouge and scenes are done very well. I also like how they didn't go with the cliche of Mike and Don saving Leo and Raph's sorry butts, and the battle is actually done like a team in this episode, unlike Metal Head, Turtle Temper, and Monkey Brains.
My main complaint with this episode is that the battle with Dogpound/Chris Bradford was pretty boring to me, and I found the way they beat him a bit of an Ass Pull. But what I like about this episode is that it sends a message stating that the turtles work best as a group, not when divided. Both teams of Leo and Raph, and Don and Mikey got in peril, but when they got together, they kicked some major ass. I enjoyed this episode, and it rivals New Friend Old Enemy, and Never Say Xever for my favorite episode of the series so far.
