Okay, so apparently the next natural step of escalation in the turtles vs Shredder battle is for Shredder to seemingly turn into something similar to Pizza the Hut from Spaceballs?

Seriously, what the heck happened here?

Okay, so everyone is still reeling from last week's revelation that they HAD to go back into time to save Yoshi in order for their lives to happen as they did. Essentially vilifying Oroku Saki (or Hamato Saki until he found out the truth?) to the point that Shen rejects him and he starts his "screw the world" campaign in bringing back the Foot Clan. There was so much off-screen head-canon I could go into, I could turn last week's episode into a two hour special...

So after Renet conveniently drops them back off in present time (or so we think?), and somehow the turtles find out that Karai's been captured by Shredder, and he's using brainworms on her. Who knew that Shredder had connections with Botany Bay and the Planet Mongo? (some of you are probably too young to know those references... jeez I'm getting old...)

So, I'm sure we'll have the usual formula: Turtles go in, Shredder defeats and/or captures all but Leo, Leo goes to Splinter, Splinter says 'go save them yourself, you were in charge stupid', Leo goes back and magically defeats Shredder by himself when the four of them together were useless.

With Karai, it depends on the brain worms - if she's still got it when he goes in to save everyone, maybe she'll attack him. Maybe she'll flee. Maybe Leo's magic healing hands will get rid of the brainworm, and he'll cure her so that they can use their super-ninja-bobsie-twin powers to defeat the giant lump of shredder (clone?) flesh.

I'm skeptical that this episode will be anything beyond a space holder while other items are developing. Maybe it's just a test run of soem new toys for the figures line? Who knows...

We've got just a couple days to go, so hang in there and

STAY TUNED!!
