Episode Opinion: Follow the Leader

*JTH* · 10-31-2013, 02:15 PM

Most of us by now know what the summary for the next episode "Follow the Leader" is with Leonardo getting captured by Karai, which makes it possible that she will possibly talk about her past when he is captive.

Which leads to this question and what everyone thinks will happen in this episode.

Do you think Leonardo will find out who Karai is in "Follow the Leader"?

*Powder* · 10-31-2013, 02:30 PM

I think it's too soon, so no.

*snake* · 10-31-2013, 02:36 PM

probably not. Maybe in the S2 finale.

Leofan26 · 10-31-2013, 03:13 PM

I'd say, in the season final hey'll find out leading to an ultimate showdown between Leo and Shredder out of revenge for Karai

This one one will just push the envelop for Leo / Karai's rivalry, they said Karai will play a major part in season two, I'd say prepare yourselves for more Leo V.S Karai fights for the time being

Wish they'd show a flippin promo for this already, it airs this weekend right? Why no promos or clips for this?

*BubblyShell22* · 10-31-2013, 03:14 PM

I doubt it since Karai won't share the information with him herself. She denied the name when Splinter called her Miwa, so she doesn't believe what Splinter knows. If anyone is going to tell Leo, it'll be Splinter himself, but I don't know if he'll tell them in this episode or later.

Aaronardo · 10-31-2013, 03:22 PM

Karai doesn't know she's Miwa. Unless Shredder came in and mocked him about it (which I highly doubt), it won't happen. Leo may suspect it, however...

*BabyTurtles* · 10-31-2013, 04:26 PM

I don't think so....he will probably either suspect or not find out anything at all.

*Shark_Blade* · 10-31-2013, 05:05 PM

Nope.

Too early I reckon.

*Refractive Reflections* · 10-31-2013, 10:48 PM

I'm going along with most of the people here saying its too early. I mean it took a whole season for Splinter/Hamato Yoshi to find out that his daughter was still alive. The revelation of Leonardo knowing would be too quick of a development, but I'm sure it will spark Leonardo's suspicions of Splinter telling the truth when Karai tells Leo that the Shredder is still alive or about Shredder's revenge, etc. (Remember when Splinter was telling the Turtles he defeated the Shredder? From what I remember last...

)

The episode could probably be the small shadow of doubt creeping into Leo's mind to question the full truthfulness of Splinter's character.

*blindturtle02* · 11-01-2013, 07:44 AM

Nah, too early. Although I'm wondering if he'll start suspecting... something. Splinter could also unintentionally drop a few clues. We know Leo has feelings for Karai so he might talk to Splinter about this at the end of tomorrow's episode and that in turn could lead to pretty much anything. Or he may not. It's driving me crazy because I'm very curious as to where the writers are going with Karai.

This actually answers my question regarding my brother's questioning of why Splinter chose not to tell Karai the truth in my latest topic. http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/showthread.php?t=45153 Thanks!

On the subject, though it's possible he might speculate, I think Leo will be more concerned about why she's siding with the Kraang despite the Shredder's commands.

Splinter warned them in the first episode of this season that the Shredder may be down but not out. I'm sure they won't be that shocked if they show up again.

I hope we do get to see Leo becoming suspicious of Splinter during season 2. Maybe Leo will get a few scenes where he's attempting to do some detective work in order to discover what Splinter is hiding. He's probably going to be rather unhappy once he discovers Splinter omitting what he found out about Karai at the end of season 1. I'm not sure why Splinter is deciding to keep this information to himself. Family members are supposed to be able to tell each other everything. I would imagine his boys would do their best to support him and to attempt to get Karai to switch sides. But I guess stuff like this is just too painful to discuss right away. Splinter also undoubtedly has allot of thinking to do about his next course of action. The turtles also have quite allot on their plate with the mutagen hunt going on and all.

bridgegrn · 11-01-2013, 10:21 AM

Well it is a pretty sensitive situation. He found out his daughter, who he thought was killed, is brainwashed by The Shredder into a ninja assasin who wants him and his son's dead. Splinter obviously doesn't even know how to even attempt to straighten that out. In a way it puts them at a disadvantage. They could very well try to tell her but Karai has so much hate for them that she could use that against them. They're still potentially at war. There's so many variables, so many things they could lose, I think Splinter is smart for wanting to think this through instead of telling the turtles who will undoubtedly go after her and probably bite off more than they can chew.

Thanks for informing me again. I knew it was some "form" of defeat because I remember how the Turtles were wishing they were there to see Splinter fight the Shredder. What was strange to me was that, in my eyes, the implicit tone seemed that Splinter didn't want the Turtles to concern themselves too much with Shredder (and consequentially, toward distancing the Turtles in fighting with Karai), unlike Splinter did in the past (i.e. the "we're at war" scene in Season 1).

**shrug** It's all speculation of course, and I'm merely basing this on a summary of this weekend's episode, so we'll see.

*Bauer536* · 11-01-2013, 12:56 PM

Why do I get the feeling that since there hasn't been any previews to this episode that not many are going to watch it?

*Donatello19* · 11-01-2013, 12:57 PM

Not only is it too soon, but Karai doesn't even know she's Miwa, so...

Honestly, I don't see how that would matter. If you when a show airs, you would tend to watch it regardless of whether it's hyped or not.

That said, Turtles does air at 8:30 tonight, so no doubt we'll get one there.

I'm beginning to think this is Casey's first episode, and they don't want to give it away.

*BubblyShell22* · 11-01-2013, 02:09 PM

I don't think Casey's in this episode. I think it's all about Karai and Leo here. I'm going to watch it because I know it's on and it's Leo-centered, so there you go.

bridgegrn · 11-01-2013, 09:36 PM

Didn't Ciro say that there would be a reference to the Leonardo micro series this season? I feel like this episode may be it.
