The upcoming City at War episode

Okay so I haven't really been following any TMNT news lately. In fact, I only got caught up last month when I saw that half the season was out after having not watched the show for a while and its not really due to lack of interest, I just have a hard time following the show since the airing schedule is horrendous and unpredictable.

So after not having heard anything for a while I decided to look up some news on the upcoming movie and anything regarding the show and I noticed that the next episode has been titled "City at War". Now this leaves me with a question: How the hell is this going to work? I know the story pretty well via the comic and 2003 show and it's about various factions fighting for control over the city after the Turtles have toppled the Shredder and looking at the show at the moment it's way too early to start this story arc in particular.

1. The Shredder is still very much alive and active. In the last episode he was just stopped from killing Splinter and if I recall correctly that's just about it. The Turtles didn't beat him (they never do) and Splinter just knocked him out, he wasn't killed or even crippled. He's still in a position of power and is still very much capable of dishing out some major damage.

2. This is also supposed to be the story in which Karai solidifies herself as the head of the foot clan and she's really not in a position to do so as Shredder is still active and she's still a mutant struggling to keep her mind in one piece.

Looking at the show, it's been pretty good at making loose adaptations of stories from the comics and I can't see this story working as nothing has been set up for that arc.

How is this going to work?
