I also wanted her not to be forced into a shoehorned romance plot. If she's genuinely a good character, I want to be able to appreciate that. I had actually hoped she and Raphael could bond like sisters. That would have maintained the continuity of his character development in the early seasons, where he was more like a sister than a brother.

What might this episode have been like if Raph were still that sister-like brother? This episode could have had great potential for epic catfighting and sororal bonding like the mighty amazons he and Mona Lisa could have been. As it stands, Raph hasn't had a decent big sister moment since A Foot Too Big.

Bond like sisters? What? You do know that Mona Lisa was a character from the 80s, right? One who also had a romance with Raphael?
