Leatherhead begins to chase the Punk Frogs and after he captures them, he make them his slaves. The Punk Frogs called the Turtles for backup against Leatherhead. Meanwhile in the Technodrome, after watching Leatherhead enslave the Frogs, Krang tells Shredder, Bebop, and Rocksteady to fetch the mutagen infested water and Leatherhead and return back to base. The Turtles, with April's help, searched for the frogs and Leatherhead until they were trapped in Leatherhead's net, but released by the Punk Frogs and together, they capture Leatherhead. They walked until Leatherhead tricks them into a quicksand, but he gets pulled in by April, Donatello, and Michaelangelo. Suddenly, Leatherhead is pulled out again because of Shredder, Bebop, and Rocksteady, and leaves the others to sink.
