From Deathknight:

I'm confused about the 3 parter in season 10.... I know it started out with The Beginning of the end and ended with Turtles to the 2nd power but that's 4 episodes... If the beginning of the end isn't the 1st part someone tell me what happens in that ep.

From Ninja Turtles Cartoon Fan:

Actually, the episode titled "The Beginning of the End" had nothing to do with the episodes where Shredder and Krang return in the three-part trilogy. It was actually the second half to a two-part Season 10 opener.

The first episode of Season 10 was called "The Return of Dregg." In this episode, Dregg returns with a whole horde of new bad guys. Also in this episode, Leonardo's mutation goes wild, and the other turtles have to chase him all over the city to get him calmed down. After some run-ins with Dregg, the four turtles manage to get Leonardo back to the sewer. The second half of this story, called "The Beginning of the End," opens up where "The Return of Dregg" left off. The turtles are still working on getting Leonardo's mutation to stabilize itself. But, of course, the experiment works for about two minutes and then Leonardo goes crazy again. And, once again, the turtles have to chase him all over the city to stop him. Dregg intervenes, of course, and the turtles find themselves deep in sewer sludge. But, like all episodes before this one, the turtles escape in just the nick of time. And Leonardo is finally returned to normal.

The next three episodes in Season 10 - "The Power of Three" and "A Turtle in Time" and "Turtles to the Second Power" - all deal with the return of Shredder and Krang. I have already explained these episodes in an earlier post in this section.

The final three episodes of Season 10 are stand-alones; that is, they really aren't connected with each other. In "Mobster from Dimension X," the turtles try to stop an alien called the Globfather from stealing a protein computer brain that would allow Dregg to control some computer satellites in space so he can control the world. The turtles nix his plans.

In "The Day the Earth Disappeared," Dregg tries to open up a warp to suck the Earth into Dimension X. It's obvious that Dregg has seen past episodes of the series because Shredder and Krang tried to do this numerous times. The turtles get stranded in alien worlds, do battle, stop Dregg, and return home.

In the last episode of Season 10 - and a decent one at that, "Divide and Conquer" - Dregg has become a super-powerful alien by absorbing other aliens' energy into his body. The turtles realize the only way they can match up with Dregg is to use Krang's old android body. They travel to Dimension X, battle with some weird creatures in the Technodrome, get Krang's android body, fight and defeat Dregg, and return home. And that is where the series ended.

Until recently . . .
