GUEST STARS: Creepy Eddie, Milton Frobish the Third, Milton Frobish the Second

Down in the sewers, while Michaelangelo, Leonardo, and Raphael are watching yet another cheesy sci-fi film, Donatello is busy building his lates invention -- THE DREAM-O-VISION -- a device designed to turn your "imagination" into a three-dimensional hologram. After a couple of test runs it appears to malfunction when a "FREDDY KRUEGER-ESQUE" character named CREEPY EDDIE appears and announces that he is taking control of the dreams. Donatello shuts down the Dream-O-Vision helmet and decides that it is too dangerous and puts it away until he can figure out what is wrong. Meanwhile, over at Channel Six News, Milton Frobish the Third, a nerd and son of the owner of Channel Six News, has been welcomed to the News Team and assigned to work with April. Thus begins a series of misadventures for poor Milton the nebbish, thanks to Vernon's constant "sucking up." Michaelangelo decides not to accompany the other turtles so he could persue his personal goal of trying out the Dream-O-vision against Donatello's orders, He puts on the helmet thinking he could try it without the other turtles knowing.. Everything is fine until he is attacked by the Squid Monster That Ate Hoboken. Following that, Mikey is stalked by a tidal wave monster and a goal post that tries to eat him sucking him under the ice. Then Michelangelo confronts creepy eddy in person in a cave that looks like the inside of a mouth. Unable to return to the real world, Creepy Eddie informs Michaelangelo that he has been waiting for someone from Michaelangelo's universe to pass through. All he needs is one more person to make a two-for-one exchange.

Concerned about Michaelangelo's reluctance to join them for pizza, Leonardo returns to the lair, only to be sucked into a whirlwind and transported into Nightmareland. Moments later, Creepy Eddie arrives in Reality. This event then reveals Michaelangelo's true intention for not joining the others. While Michaelangelo and Leonardo do battle with creatures from Mikey's imagination, Donatello, Raphael and Splinter do battle with Creepy Eddie. Meanwhile at Channel 6, Vernon's constant tattle tale and accusations nearly get April in deep trouble with Burne. However in a twist the misadventures of Milton Frobish results in him not being cut out to work for Channel 6 after all.

April is relieved but it is only short lived when she finds out both Michaelangelo & Leonardo have vanished and are stranded in Nightmareland. And worse yet Creepy Eddy has tied dynamite to blow up the Dream - O - Vision that would keep Micaelangelo & Leonardo stuck in Nightmareland forever. Finally, April saves the say when she arrives at the lair and finding the lights turned off, turns them on -- blowing a fuse in the process. This causes the Dream-O-Vision machine to shut itself off, causing Michaelangelo and Leonardo to return to Reality and Creepy Eddie to return to Nightmareland.
