Plot
The episode opens in a Kraang laboratory, with the Turtles secretly observing their discussions about swapping minds with human leaders in order to simulate another invasion. Raph prepares to attack, but Leo restrains him, wanting to hear more details about the plot. A Kraang is then ordered to bring a test subject into the equation and he does just that, bringing a human in and strapping him down to a metal table. When the human realizes that he is about to switch bodies with a pigeon, he begins to remark how he would prefer to have his brain probed into. The Turtles then seize the opportunity to attack, quickly taking out the majority of the Kraang. However, one Kraang triggers a device to tap into both the pigeon and the man's brains and swap them in a matter of seconds. Just after Raph releases the man, the latter starts to roam around the room like a pigeon - and Raph observes this in disgust.

Seeing as though their experiment is a success, the Kraang demand the Turtles to be destroyed and they begin firing at them. Meanwhile, a Kraang pushes Raph towards the side of the machine, but Raph quickly turns the tables and begins to attack the Kraang, much to Leonardo's aggrevation. Raph pins the Kraang down, but just as Raph renews his attack with one of his Sais, the weapon accidentally comes in contact with a part of the perilous machine and energy blasts start flying in various directions. This causes both Raph and the Kraang to be struck and knocked down. Leo quickly picks up Raph, while Mikey and Donnie rescue both the civilian and the pigeon. They then retreat. However, little do they know that Raph was not only harmed - but he had his mind swapped with the Kraang he was nearest to as well!!

The Turtles then begin to return home in the Shellraiser and Mikey attempts to reawaken Raph by slapping him in the face a number of times. When Donnie points out that is going to be futile, Mikey then decides he should try and 'tickle' Raph with some hand-spikes. This ultimately works and Raph starts laughing robotically, with an oddly stern expression on his face. Raph then puts his hands on Mikey's shoulders and asks what location he is in so that he can inform the Kraang. Mikey believes that all of this is a facade, but he soon figures out that it isn't at all, especially when Raph slams him against a wall four times. This makes every one come to the realization that a Kraang is now in Raph's body and is trying to eliminate them. A distracted Leo then accidentally collides with a row of parked cars, which allows time for the Kraang in Raph's body to escape onto the streets. Very uncertain about where to search for their actual brother, the Turtles retreat back to their hideout.

Meanwhile, the Kraang transport their comrade that has Raph inside of it to a facility where he can have his damages repaired. Raph soon wakes up and begins to realize that he is inside of a Kraang's body, but tries to stay calm. After being able to fool the other Kraang with his 'best' impersonation of them, Raph narrowly escapes and discovers that he is inside the Technodrome, which had landed on the ocean floor, much to Raph's utter disappointment.

Back in the Technodrome, Raph (in a Kraang body) continues to walk around, trying to locate the nearest exit. Another Kraang spots his 'comrade' facing away from him and tells him that he should be busy. Once again, Raph pretends to act as they typically would and questions what he should be busy doing. The Kraang then walks him into a communication room, where two other Kraang are standing. A transmission from Kraang Prime then appears, stating that the Kraang in Dimension X are starting to assemble for the invasion of Earth. Raph spots a Kraang Communication Device similar to the one that Donnie has. Kraang Prime asks his minions how Plan 10 is progressing. Raph (in his impersonation of Kraang) states that the Plan 10 is coming along very nicely. When all the other Kraang leave the room, Raph quickly uses the orb to try and find a way to communicate with Donnie.

Meanwhile, in the lair, the Turtles are about to mobolize to retrieve Raph's mind, but Splinter halts them and reminds them that they should consider being patient instead, as Raph's impatience is what landed him in the den of the enemy. April then asks what the secondary option would be, but, before Splinter can fully respond, the communication orb starts to buzz in Donnie's lab. The gang then goes to investigate and Donnie remarks that the device hasn't been active in months. He then boots up his laptop and the face of a Kraang droid appears - It's actually Raph! Raph then reiterates to them that he was trapped in the robot's body. Mikey quickly grows suspicious, as he believes that the Kraang could easily imitate his brother's voice. Mikey then asks for him to say the 'secret ninja password'. Raph's response is "I will pound you, Mikey!", which he considers to be close enough. Donnie then brings up Raph's coordinates, which reveals that he's located somewhere under the surface of the Hudson River. Donnie then comments that it's time for them to do some swimming.

Back at the Technodrome, Raph (in a Kraang body) just finished contacting Donnie with the Kraang communication orb, and at that last second, two Kraang walk in, and ask Raph about who he just contacted, and the communication orb was in no use at the moment. Trying to fool the Kraang, Raph (doing his Kraang impression) said he has forgot. The Kraang said that they never forget things.

Meanwhile, the Turtles, April, and Casey all begin their search for Raph. Casey complains about the Turtle Sub, and Donnie logically describes the Sub, including its physical powering source. Leo lowers the periscope, and notices the Technodrome is straight ahead. Mikey happily states that they didn't run into trouble, until the Kraang's Water Creature shows up, and Donnie angrily yells at Mikey for what he said earlier. The creature roars at the Sub, cuddles it, and leaves, leaving April completely clueless. The creature comes back, offering the Sub some garbage to 'eat'. Disturbed by this, Casey, April, and Leo start to power the Sub, just to escape the creature. This makes the Water Creature sad, and then it follows the Sub.

Back at the Technodrome, the two Kraang that caught Raph (in a Kraang body) earlier order him to be analyzed. Raph (in his Kraang impersonation) asks what happens if he refuses, and then one of the Kraang pull out their laser guns, and aim it towards Raph, telling him that they should take a 'necessary' action to protect their kind from danger.
