1	On their quest to gather all the lost mutagen canisters from the previous episode, the turtles bring a mutant squirrel back to the lair and horror ensues.
2
3	----
4	!!This episode provides examples of:
5	* BodyHorror: The squirrels' tongues flail around outside of their mouths and they multiply inside a living organism's stomach.
6	* BreatherEpisode: Downplayed. It's a break from the problems that the Turtles and April ran into, and Mikey's comic obsession does add humor to the plot. The Squirrelanoids and dark environments, however, heighten the creepiness factor of the episode considerably, even if the Squirrelanoids seem to start out fairly cute.
7	* {{Expy}}: See ShoutOut.
8	* GenreSavvy: Mikey uses his comic book to help defeat the mutant squirrels.
9	** Donatello notes the cliche ways to "get eaten", as Raphael so eloquently put it whilst dealing with the mutant squirrels.
10	* GilliganCut: Splinter gives a RousingSpeech to his sons asking which of them is brave enough to face the Squirrelanoids. Cut to Metalhead going in their place.
11	* KillerRabbit: The Squirrelanoids at first glance look like normal squirrels, but eventually turn into horrific monsters.
12	* OffWithHisHead: The Squirrelanoids decapitate Metalhead.
13	* OrificeEvacuation: The squirrelanoids force their victims to vomit them out after they asexually reproduce in their hosts stomach. Michaelangelo LampShades this when he says that the aliens in his comic come out of their victims rectums.
14	* OrificeInvasion: The Squirrelanoids reproduce by forcing themselves down a living being's throat, splitting into two inside the stomach, then forcing their way back out through the mouth.
15	* SequelHook: The Squirrelanoids survived and will be coming out again. Lampshaded before it's shown, even!
16	* ShoutOut: The mutant squirrels are like lower-rated versions of the alien from ''Film/{{Alien}}'', and Mikey's comic is kinda similar too.
17	** Not to mention him quoting the second ''Alien'' movie.
18	--> '''Mikey''': Game over, man. Game. Over.
19	* VomitIndiscretionShot: The way the mutant squirrels finish reproducing. This leads to an infected bum vomiting in slow-motion directly into the camera, and later Raphael after he's infected too.
