Now we're talking! What a wonderful episode. I love it when they explore the spiritual / inner-strength stuff. Shame it ended, really. It could have done with being a two-parter so that it could have explored the arc of each turtle's journey more.

My only criticism is that inevitably there will be a lack of perpetuity to the states each turtle achieved, with maybe Leo being the exception. I don't for a minute believe that Mikey will now be focused, or that Donnie will become less-reliant on his mind (he didn't seem to learn the lesson to any great length after Monkey Brains in Season 1) and I definitely don't think that Raphael has over-come his anger issues. Maybe that's because Leo's journey carried the most meaning because of what he'd been through, and the episode felt very Leo-centric. I'd still like to see the others facing something far more destructive in their emotional development.
