- The Kraang have been after April since she was born.
- The Kraang were in New York looking for her with the mutagen when Yoshi spied on them in the story from the pilot.
- The mutagen mutated Splinter and The Turtles during the fight.

April is indirectly the reason The Turtles became who they are, so in a interesting roundabout way to the turtles, April is "mom".

If that's why April is their mom, she is also Splinter's mom too.
Then she becomes the turtles and Karai's grandmother, right?
