Totes - Tigerclaw is a force to be reckoned with; he leaves the rest of Shredder's henchmen in the dust, IMO.

I think that's something that they have to do for censorship reasons.

Favorite moment with her was when she realizes that Splinter is actually her real father and kinda freaks out because she set them up, thinking that Splinter was the enemy still. Karai is my second favorite character now.

This episode was magnificent, definitely one of the best for the whole season. I loved having a non-kraang/mutant-of-the-week episode, and I'd totally been hanging for some more Karai action. Funnily enough I hated Karai the first time I watched Season 1 - I felt like they'd just put her in so that April would have a girl character to fight. But after rewatching, she's one of my favourite characters - I really like the development that they've put into her, her emotions and motivations and personality.
Her conflict in this episode was terrific, and it was really sweet to see her standing there looking Splinter in the eye, for the first time realising the truth - and realising all the mistakes she had made, what had been taken from her, and that her whole life up until this point had been a lie.
I also think that it's realistic for Raph to still not trust her yet - I think that he will warm to her eventually but it's not in his nature to automatically trust someone who's tangled with them so many times in the past.
Last but certainly not least, April was much less annoying in this episode - it was good to see her doing normal stuff like going to a movie... though I think the way she and Casey treat Irma is pretty mean. If someone was constantly running off and ditching me when we hung out, I just wouldn't want to be friends with them at all - so I hope they start treating her a bit better sooner rather than later.
Overall - plus one episode of awesome!
