if Donnie got mutated: the turtles would have to figure out how to cure him without having their genius to help....this could be bad (or they can get leatherhead again..like the 2003 did)....either way..it'd be hard to figure out.

I don't know about Leatherhead, because in the 2003 version Leatherhead was a a genius like Donnie was. If they were going to have a second highly intelligence to help with this, they should maybe have a form of the Retromutagen that doesn't quite return people like Kirby or Dr. Rockwell back to human, but it does restore their sentience. I.E. Keep them in their mutant form, but able to restore human intellect enough for them to talk.

The others know Donnie is trying to develop retromutagen, so if Donnie had any recent batches out the others wouldn't know if that is the finished product. Or just another reject. Considering this is Nick were talking about, yeah they might have a cop out result of having one of the Turtles lob the most recent batch of retromutagen that Donnie had been experimenting with and have that Surprise Surprise effectively be the Retromutagen.

However there had to be a reason behind Stockman also supposedly trying to develop retromutagen. And I mean what he was doing before Dogpound had forced him to find a way to turn him back into a human. So I can see the turtles reluctantly turning to Stockman to see what he can do to restore their brother. Naturally Stockman would try to double cross them by using the retromutagen to restore his humanity.

But of course you have people like Karai or the Shredder who will steal the Retromutagen simply because it's something that gives the Turtles hope. The Shredder would more likely want to destroy it simply so the Turtles don't get their hands on it. And Karai would either destroy it out of spite or tell the Turtles she knows other mutants who might be interested in getting their humanity back. If they use the retromutagen at all it would be intended to turn the Turtles back into normal pet Turtles. And of course other mutants who would want the retromutagen for themselves to they can return to being human.


However with the second mutation it can go one of two ways.

If they want that arc over with quickly-

one they can go the over confident plot line again which I hope it doesn't have to be repeated.

The first time they nearly lost their lives to a stronger opponent.
The second time they lost their weapons and an ally of theirs was mutated
third time and ally associated with their closest human friend was mutated and temporarily lost said human friend.
so by this pattern, if they are over confident again it could result in them losing one of their own.

A second option if Donnie is given a second mutation quickly is to have him push someone like April, Casey, maybe one of his bro's out of the way and ends up getting hit with mutagen himself. So think Donnie protecting April in the same manner Dr. O'Neil did in Mutation Situation.

If they want the situation drawn out

If they want the situation drawn out, have Donnie get bitten or scratched by a mutation carrying mutant. At some point before the season finally. Since nothing happens other then a little irritation now and again they think nothing of it.

Then in season three Donnie starts getting these cold and flu like symptoms. They are minor enough to be ignored and not prevent Donnie from undergoing patrol. But gradually begin so like episode seven or so things become so bad that April begins to wonder if Donnie should be taken to a doctor because this has got to be more serious then just a cold or flu. That's when Donnie transforms. He isn't restored to normal until late in the season.
