Official Episode Discussion S2 #12 "Of Rats and Men"

I love the use of music from Carmen in the teaser.

When the Rat King returns, Splinter must overcome his guilt and fear of the Rat King controlling his mind in order to defeat his foe once and for all.

It's been a while, but it appears that the Rat King has built his strength up enough to attempt another hostile takeover of Splinter's mind. And considering what he put Splinter through in the first episode, this episode could prove to be even worse...

Rat King really exploited Splinter's past and his loss of family, status, and parts of his humanity. Now that the truth has come out about Karai being his daughter, this is just gravy for the Rat King. This could stir up more images from Splinter's past (I'm hoping), maybe some more glimpses of life in Japan - maybe an explanation of the photograph?

THAT I wish we had a teaser about, not just this ice cream kitty nonsense... sure, Kevin makes a cute feline Frosty, but how does this fit into the actual episode? Does this cat freak Splinter out? Or is it just another 'loved one' of April's that gets mutated by accident? The boys are starting to get a real bad track record...

So
WILL SPLINTER SUCCUMB TO THE MENTAL POWER OF THE RAT KING?!
WILL MIKEY SURVIVE APRIL'S WRATH WHEN SHE SEES ICE CREAM KITTY?!
WHERE THE HECK HAS SHREDDER AND KARAI BEEN DURING ALL OF THIS?!

Stay Tuned!!!
