We can also see Donnie becoming the defacto leader when Leo isn't there in "New girl in town" when Raphael freezes up completely, Donnie steps in. |
Also during the Second Invasion after Leo is injured Donnie instinctively takes up the reigns of leadership. And after Splinter is flushed down the drain the others immediately turn to Donnie as though saying ‘what now?’ And in that moment we see Donnie close his eyes and when he opens them again it’s like the are replaced by Leo’s. It’s only after they leave the city that there is an unexplained shift in power somewhere down the line from Donnie to Raph.
We know Donnie would have kept Leo alive through the trip to be sure and likely would have handcuffed himself to Leo’s bedside while he is in the critical stage at least. Then after Leo is stabilized enough to be put in the tub the way the scene is played out Donnie just up and leaves because he can’t bear seeing Leo that way. But really the whole thing three months since the invasion are up to fan interpretation.
