1As the Turtles try to lure Baron Draxum out, Splinter tries to get to the bottom of odd goings-on at April's new job
2----
3!!Tropes:
4* BadassNormal: Granted Master Splinter is a mutant, but he lacked mystic weapons/advanced tech, not to mention having a bad back. He was able to beat all four turtles with ease.
5* BaitAndSwitch: It seems like the Foot Lieutenant is about to reveal something sinister under a tarp but it was really just a new line of shoes.
6* FunnyBackgroundEvent: While Splinter is explaining the consequences of the Kuroi Yore's completion, we see a mutated crow thrashing Donnie around before the rest of the turtles crash the tank into it.
7* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: The reveal that Randall is Lou Jitsu sent both Foot Brute and Foot Lieutenant squeeing.
8* MythologyGag: At the beginning of the episode, the Turtles come upon Draxum capturing a rhino, a warthog, and two humans that resemble Steranko and Zeck, the humans that were mutated into Rocksteady and Bebop in ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012''.
9* OhCrapFakeout: Splinter experiences the first one (thinking the Foot Clan is reduced to shoe salesmen) but gets the real OhCrap reaction when he learns they're on the hunt for the Shredder's armor.
10* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Splinter finally gets off his ass and decides to kick ass upon learning about the Foot Clan's rise ''and'' that his sons have been fighting them behind his back.
11* OverlyLongGag: At one point, the Foot Lieutenant pulls the tarp off a dolly which takes a long time to completely come off. Not to mention it keeps cutting between the tarp coming off and Splinter's anxious face.
12* PaperThinDisguise: Splinter shows up to the Foot Shack in a T-shirt and jeans, hoping to pass as a human. April sees through it instantly but her coworkers buy it along with the turtles.
13* TheReveal: The turtles, learning Lou Jitsu and Splinter are one and the same, and that Shredder exists in this continuity.
14* WhamEpisode: We now know the Foot clan is scouring New York for pieces of a mystic armor, and that when they have them all, their master, Shredder, shall be resurrected.
