SPOILERS:

I would have done this: I wouldn't have mutated Raph into that weird grass thing... I would have made it that Mikey and Donnie thought it was Raph, and that could have made for some good comedy (when we find out it realy wasn't Raph) Like a scene of Mikey holding the mulch remains in his arms, "he was too young to die" then Raph shows up "What are you doing?"

As for Leo, well when he tries to fight Creep he gets stomped (he's still too weak)... and as he's about to be dealt the final blow, the REAL Raph comes in and saves him -- I would have made it Raph managed to escape or make it, he was so beaten up and the Creep took his mask (because he's all about hiding his face). Raph would have eventually woken up and heard Leo fighting Creep and gone back to save the guys...

As for the the lump of grass mutant thing, Well that would be an extension of Creep... like a spawn he uses to feed. Because I really didn't like Raph being mutated and essentially killed... I just really felt it took away from the focus of Leo being the one who's still hurt/recovering... that's why I would have made it Raph saves them in the end -- Leo is still too weak, but you can have him save the day in a future episode that would really show us he's made a full recovery.

I really had hoped that the grass thing wasn't Raph... it just felt really weird and disturbing to me.
