Recap: Keem, the charming Turtle girl sent by Shredder, has brought discord among the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Seated on the couch in the lair alongside April O'Neil, Splinter tells the reporter that he is worried. In front of them are Donatello and Raffaello, arguing over whose gift is better. Standing between them is Keem, who tells them not to argue. April asks if they always behave like this and Splinter replies only since Keem arrived. He has had a hard time recognizing his students because as soon as they saw her, they were enchanted. He adds that she is even named after their favorite actress, Keem Daryl. April says it’s strange because she interviewed the woman yesterday, and then she disappeared for a few hours. When she returned, she didn’t remember what happened to her. Splinter guesses that Shredder probably used her as a model for Keem’s mutation. April replies that Keem was not a mistake, Shredder created her on purpose. Splinter only hopes that the boys’ emotional rivalry doesn’t diminish their teamwork in battle.
Later, the Turtles are topside, battling Ninja del clan del piede. Michelangelo calls out that the robots are tougher than usual and asks Leonardo to give him a hand. Leonardo tells him he has a lot of nerve asking for help and to handle it himself. He saw Michelangelo making googly eyes at his girlfriend. Michelangelo responds angrily and smashes the nearest robots. When all of the ninjas are down, the four Turtles start arguing over who Keem prefers. They do not see another robot, who is filming their argument.
In the Tecnodromo, Shredder and Krang are watching the fight on the monitor. Shredder thinks that the Turtles have been provoked to just the right point. Krang expresses amazement that Shredder’s plan is working. Shredder tells him that he has nothing to make fun of and this time he won’t fail. Everything is ready for the final stage.
Later, Keem has gotten the Turtles to accompany her to the roof of a skyscraper. Leonardo asks why she wanted them to come to the roof with her. Raffaello asks why she wanted them all together because he’d prefer to accompany her alone. Keem explains that she has never seen the city from above and then adds that they have an appointment. She points at Shredder, who has arrived accompanied by an armed Rocksteady. Shredder praises Keem on a job well done. Donatello asks Keem why she would do that to them because they trusted her. Shredder calls them gullible and that his Molecularizer Cannon will put an end to them.
Keem reacts with surprise, saying that he didn’t tell her he wanted to kill them. Shredder calls her stupid and asks if she thought he meant to invite them to dinner. Angered, Keem lashes out, yelling that she won’t let him before slapping the cannon out of Rocksteady’s hands. It falls over the side of the building and smashes on the street below. Shredder shouts at Keem, calling her a traitor and saying it’s up to her to get it back. He throws her over the side of the building. Infuriated, Raffaello prepares to turn Shredder into confetti. Shredder calls for a retreat, and he and Rocksteady leap through the nearest skylight.
Michelangelo begins shouting not to let them get away, but Leonardo tells him to wait. Keem didn’t hit the ground; she is clinging to a flag pole. Leonardo asks if Raffaello brought the Turtle Line, but he didn’t because they were just supposed to be going for a walk. Leonardo says they can still save her, they just need to collaborate. Holding onto each other’s ankles, the Turtles lower themselves down until Donatello can grab Keem. They bring her up and Keem tells them she owes them her life. Michelangelo replies that she saved them, too. Leonardo says she had given them to Shredder, and wonders what changed her mind. Keem answers that she thinks she’s in love. The Turtles want to know with whom, and she answers with all of them because they are amazing. Then she says she has a confession to make and proceeds to remove her shell, revealing that she has a long tail. Raffaello is astonished that he has a crush on a mutant lizard. Keem says they couldn’t find a turtle, so they chose her. Heading to the rooftop exit, Keem bids them farewell and says that one day they’ll see each other again, but for now, she needs to be alone. When she is gone, Leonardo urges the others to have courage, as the fight continues. Michelangelo says there is always pizza for support.
