Plot[]
The episode started out with the turtles spying on the now mutated Bullhop back from Bug Busters. Since he mutated, Bullhop made himself a makeshift home until the turtles captured him by burying him in a sack. He screams and tries to run away, only to slip on some trash cans.
When the mutant bull regained consciousness in Donnie’s lab, he saw the turtles and recognized them. Leo said that they were trying to stop the mosquitoes while Donnie said that they ran out of spider web goo. The turtles started to make up with Bullhop for an Appreciation Day, much to the mutant bellhop’s joy.
They started to make Bullhop feel at home and tried to get used to their lair. But however, due to his clumsiness, he destroyed everything like the ramp, shower curtains, and the dancing game.
One weekend later, Raph laid out the plan to get into Big Mama’s party and steal the web goo. But Bullhop has got to go since he made a complete mess. Leo somehow said that they’re the ones who made them into this. Mikey started to use his delicate touch and demanded Bullhop to leave immediately. Bullhop feels heartbroken and pleads with them to make it up. Leo promised him not to break anything before he and Mikey come back.
But unfortunately, Bullhop had other plans. Once he tried on the waiter outfits, he managed to get into Raph’s outfit because it fits him, much to their shock.
At the gala, the turtles started to watch Bullhop as he blended in the ground, carefully not to trip or make any mess. He managed to find the keys which were in the bellhop’s grasp until he was greeted by Big Mama who didn’t seem to recognize him. She asked him for the dance but Bullhop somehow began to accept it. At first, he started dancing badly but however, he started to get the hang off hit and managed to grab the keys with his horn.
The turtles are quite fascinated by Bullhop’s dance moves and wonder how they are gonna get inside. Suddenly, they fell right through the window and crashed inside. Bullhop tosses the keys to Mikey while they try to escape. Before he could get to the vault, Big Mama sprays him with web goo, pinning him to the wall.
Bullhop steps in and insults Big Mama that she has eight feet. Enraged, the spider yokai spit a lot of goo at him, but Bullhop managed to catch them with the pitchers. He slips, breaking seven pitchers, leaving only one. They managed to escape, leaving Big Mama alone as she stared at the shoe.
After they escaped, Raph promised Bullhop he can stay with them anytime he wants. Bullhop appreciates it saying that he should deal with this situation as a mutant bull.
Mikey asked him if he wanted to join the Mad Dogs because he wanted to kick Donnie out, only to get shot by a tranq gun by Donnie.
Quotes[]

- Raph: Who’s he talkin’ to?
- Donnie: I told him earlier that if he touched his ear, he could talk to anybody in the world. I was trying to get some work done.
- Mikey: Roger that, Mr. President.
