Well, you could have:
*Raph getting flashes of his family, some of the good times he's had with them, and trying to fight the mind control...showing Raph some of his inner strength
*Show how much his family really need him/depend on him (what it SHOULD BE is that all four depend on each other...as it is now, the family only depends on Don and Leo...and Casey & April...not really on Mikey & Raph. Although, even Mikey helped stopped the invasion, so Mikey has that). Show what Raph means to each Turtle.
*Show how much Mikey misses Raph, needs to play jokes on/goof off with/have fun with.
*Leo reflecting on Raph helping him out when he was rehabbing his body (the Only thing Raph has gotten to do this season)
*Giving Mikey an actual, serious moment where he helps Raph out of it...making Mikey the True Hero of the Episode.
*Raph hurting one of his brothers, and showing in the next couple of episodes that he feels guilty about it, that he doesn't want to be angry anymore, doing everything in his power to be a 'happy go lucky' guy, and ultimately his family realizing that while it's nice that Raph is doing that, the family still needs Raph to at least have PART of that rage.
You can do LOTS, Cybercubed...only those with Little to No Imagination says that there's 'Nothing' you can do with it.
