"She's finally coming and Raph is going to have a relationship with her." 34:53 - SDCC 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7AK_tW-Sss

I won't get into philospphical meanings of a relationship, but the majority of the population would define the word "relationship" as used in this context with a romantic meaning.

As for the 1st grade reader, it is copyrighted Viacom International via Nickelodeon, as well as the other "Step Into Reading" series featuring the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Not a third party. And based on the plots of these past books, they are summarized versions of previous episodes that aired in the earlier seasons. It can be inferred that the plot of "Alien Attack!" will follow this pattern. And given the plot randomly starts off with the Turtles with the Fugitoid on his ship (which we know he will borrow them at some point in time. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7snWptj-N9Q) it can also be inferred that a future episode will follow this story.

And I have to disagree with you about Raph's personality. He's independent, tough, and hot-headed. Because it would seem unlikely for him to have a girlfirend is exactly WHY he would be the first of his brothers to have a girlfriend. The new Mona Lisa is a strong idependent warrior that would compliment Raph. He's the kind of turtle to respect and revere a warrior of equal strength. Plus, new Mona Lisa is not going to be anything like her 1987 counterpart. As I said before, she's a warrior.

And I'm not sure what you mean when you say they don't give regualr nods to their older audience. The story of this show is written as an homage to the past renditions of TMNT shows. The character development of the main characters has been fantastic and I applaude the writers of the show. They've done their research and they're creativly coming up with a new ideas for every season. I appreciate Mikey's interst in Renet not only from a meta standpoint, but it's much needed character growth on his part.
