Repo Mantis

  • Chase Scene: The climax involves Repo Mantis chasing Donnie and Mikey once they steal the Moon Buggy.
  • Good Cop/Bad Cop: Mikey and Donnie try to employ a good cop, bad cop routine with Todd over his RV. Mikey naturally plays the good cop role and is nice to Todd while Donnie tries to play the bad cop role by reminding the capybara that he owes Repo.
  • Hard-Work Montage: To make up for him losing his motor home to Repo Mantis, Donnie and Mikey spend several days making Todd and his puppies a new home to live in.
  • Lint Value: Donnie tries to buy the Jupiter Jim Moon Buggy with nothing more than pocket change.

Down With the Sickness

  • All for Nothing: Right before Raph can ask Splinter for anything, Leo, under the virus's influence, says that Splinter should hug Raph, wasting the request. And if that weren't enough, Raph himself is infected seconds later.
  • Bottle Episode: The whole episode takes place in the turtles' lair.
  • Cuddle Bug: Stage three of rat flu is the patient becoming unusually affectionate and wanting to give their loved ones hugs and kisses.
  • Dwindling Party: One by one, the turtles are all infected by Splinter.
  • Fan Disservice: Splinter suffers a hot flash due to the rat flu and completely shaves himself to cool down.
  • The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: In-universe. The narrator sneezes after concluding the episode, signifying that he’s also infected.
  • The Virus: The rat flu is absurdly easy to spread. Not only can it be passed on through touch, it can also be caught if a patient sings or reads to you.
