After trashing the farmhouse ''[[NoodleIncident again]]'', Mikey is castigated by the others and told to clean up his mess. Finally fed up with his brothers' treatment, Mikey decides to run away. Out in the woods, he stumbles across a mutant frog who, after a brief fight, introduces himself as Napoleon Bonafrog. The two hit is off rather well, and Napoleon decides to show Mikey where he and his tribe live. After being introduced to the tribe's leaders, a series of misunderstandings lead the frogs to believe that the other turtles are being held hostage by humans, and so they launch a rescue mission. A few fights later, and April and Casey rescue the tribes leader from a fire, leading to him calling a truce and the frogs leaving the woods for Louisiana.
