Official Episode Discussion: "The Engagement Ring"

**Machias Banshee** · 10-02-2008, 11:33 AM

Greetings, My precious...

Once again, I propose to you another eye-rolling teaser for this week's upcoming episode. Let's hope this plot won't bring you to your knees...

*ducks tomatoes*

Okay, so this week (according to TVGuide), Casey's getting ready to pop the question to the lovely April O'neil (much to Donnie's inner chagrin, I'm sure). So whom better to go with Casey to the jewelers for ring shopping than... Raph.

...What? Raph just doesn't seem the type to be looking a pretty sparkly Dainty lil diamond rings. Can you imagine the poor jeweler seeing these two come into the store, and being told, "We're here for an engagement ring."? My first thought would be to look at the hunched over trenchcoat wearing 'beauty' with the chain-smoker voice and ask Casey 'what the hell are you thinking?'

...but I digress.

So, Raph and Casey are checking out the rings. Big rings, small rings, simple, complex... hundreds of options to choose from. My opinion would be a simple gold ring with a three stone grouping.

Instead of this, they pick out something unique.

...you would think if the ring is floating and surrounded by FIRE... they would look at each other and say "Hmm... this might not be a good idea." But this is Raph and Casey we're talking about.

So they take the ring, not knowing the Evil that's connected to it. Thiis attracks the interest of Hun and the ever popular Purple Dragons. Are we going to see Hun denegrate into this nasty big version of Gollum from the Lord of the Rings? Or are they gonna go a different route (aka movie reference), and start crawling out of April's TV to get her soul?

And while they're messing around with apocalyptic jewelry, what's going on with the other turtles? Are they still diligently searching for the remaining fragments of Splinter? Is Donnie slowly turning into a caffee-drinking, brain-fried homocidal insomniac with his relentless struggle to return his father to normal and end his torment of guilt?

And what of this Ring? Will they have to destroy the ring, or could Donnie take that evil power and transform it into something he could use for his mission? Or is this too outlandish an idea? Heck, this is a show about mutant ninja turtles traveling the internet...

Who knows! And as I close out, I will leave you with the questions, yet again...

WILL CASEY POP THE QUESTION TO APRIL IN THIS EPISODE?!
WILL SHE SAY YES?!
WILL HUN AND THE PD's RETRIEVE THE RING FOR THEIR OWN SEEDY PURPOSES?!
HOW LONG WILL I BE ABLE TO TYPE LIKE THIS BEFORE I GET YELLED AT?!

STAY TUNED!!!
