Monsters, Misfits, and Madmen, part 2

Plot
April is talking to her mom on the phone while Donnie loads her van with the equipment he borrowed from Harold. April's mom tells her that her dad's health is great, better than ever before. She finishes her phone call and notices Casey and Angel walking up, but as she greets them Casey is startled out of a daze and nearly swings at her with his baseball bat. April invites the two of them along to Harold's lab, where she and Donnie are headed to return his things. Angel accepts the invitation but Casey declines, saying he needs to clear his head. April asks Angel what's wrong with him, and on the ride over she tells her all about the confrontation with Casey's dad at the Skara Brae.

When they arrive at Harold's lab, Harold is in a cranky mood, like usual. He's mad that most of the stuff Donnie brought back is broken, and that Donnie and April invited Angel to tag along too, but Donnie tells him he won't be made when he sees what else he's brought: plans for a working teleporter. Donnie explains to Harold that the teleporter would allow them to get to Burnow Island to stop Krang from completeing the Technodrome, which could terraform the entire and make it uninhabitable to humans. Harold interrupts them when he sees Angel eyeing one of his newest inventions: an exo-suit that incorporates many of his previous inventions such as the gravity gauntlet, light refractors, kevlar armor, and concussion grenades, among other things. As Harold boasts about how advanced it is, Angel uncovers another new invention&mdash;a robot modeled after Donatello.

At the Turtles', Master Splinter asks Leonardo if he thinks Harold will continue to cooperate with April and Donatello. Leo says that Donnie thinks the promise of learning about new technology will be enough to entice Harold to do so. Splinter is concerned that this however will not help them in their fight against the Foot Clan; Splinter wants to use the element of suprise to strike while the Foot is unaware that they have returned to New York. Leonardo is worried that Splinter isn't looking at the big picture, stopping Krang from taking over the earth. Splinter counters that Professor Honeycutt estimated that the Technodrome wouldn't be completed for years, so stopping the Shredder should be there first priority.

Back at Harold's lab, Harold explains that he designed his robot to protect him from any potential threats, namely any StockGen personnel who tried to find him after the fiasco that ensued at the fake science convention arranged by (see the events of the Donatello micro-series). He was inspired by Donnie's skills and speed, all encased in protective armor and thought the design was adaptable. Angels says he should call it, and asks if he controls it with a remote control. Harold says he does, but that he hopes to improve it's A.I. until it functions autonomously. Angel doubts he'll be able to get it work on its own, or even with the remote control. Harold activates Metalhead to prove her wrong, and has Metalhead offer Angel a seat. Metalhead seems to be working properly until its head begins to smoke and it shorts out. Before Harold can shut it off, however, Metalhead grabs the remote control and destroys it, and nearly punches Harold before Donnie knocks him out of the way. As Metalhead gets up, it recognizes April as a former intern at StockGen and attempts to attack her, but Angel knocks it out of the way. Harold explains that he had programmed the entire StockGen employee directory into Metalhead to protect his genius from falling into StockGen's hands. Metalhead continues attacking while Angel and Donatello fight back, which is difficult, since Metalhead is also equipped with a machine gun, flamethrower, and laser, as well as a vehicular mode, where Metalhead's head retracts into it's shell and it moves on four wheels rather then its legs. Angel tells the others to hide while she takes care of it. She tricks Metalhead into breaking the case the exo-suit is in so she can put it on and stand a chance against Metalhead. Angel manages to deactive Metalhead and earn Harold's respect in the process, but she brushes it off, saying she's Nobody.

Lindsey Baker, the former employee from StockGen, is walking down the street talking to her mother on the phone. Her mother is asking her why she hasn't been able to find a new job yet; Lindsey exasperatedly explains to to her mother the state of the current job market, as well as reminding her that all of her work references have seemingly disappeared off the face of the earth. Lindsey bends down to pick up her car keys that she'd dropped in a puddle when all of a sudden Old Hob and Slash appear out of nowhere, Hob pointing a gun at her and telling her that her job search is over.
