UltimateTitan6:

This scene is what happened last time Raph was afraid Slash might be hurt. Raph immediately caressing Slash's face, Raph's face filled with a heart-quaking worry, Raph and Slash locking their eyes together, Slash arching his eye ridges in emphasis when he says Raphael's name, and Raph's face easing with extreme relief when he hears Slash's voice. Slash is a man Raph loves and angsts over, and not just in a strictly platonic fashion&mdash;or at least the writers used to heavily emphasize this, like when Splinter compared Raph losing his partner Slash with Splinter losing his own partner (who was Tang Shen, by the way). I would have expected at least something a fraction as affectionate as the scene I just referenced. So compared to the way Raph used to treat Slash in times of real concern, Raph's behavior in this episode was indeed conspicuously like that of a cold fish. It's too out of character for Raph where Slash is concerned.
