Meanwhile, the foot cult are doing preparations to resurrect Shredder, Tiger claw mentions that they have all the pieces of Shredder's body but the heart, so they are going to steal it from Vizioso at the same time as Ralph and Mikey are spying the ritual and the rest are pursuing Rocksteady and Bebop before they get to the restaurant first

Once they get there, Leo wants to make a stealth plan to steal it, but Donnie mentions that he wants to get revenge on Vizioso for wanting to disect him and use him for experiments so he just go to take it loudly. As Vizioso keep eating, Bebop enters being cloaked and try to take the heart while Vizioso is playing with it, but he takes a porkchop by mistake so his cover is blown, so he resorts to Rocksteady assault them with his laser minigun, then the turtles also get into the fight as everyone there try to take the heart,

but Leo scolds him that is his fault they failed their mission

Trivia

• The Dell'Abate Ristorante that Don Vizioso uses as his hideout is named after Gary Dell'Abate, the Howard Stern Show producer best known as "Baba Booey". The restaurant's logo features a buck-toothed person wearing a Roman headdress that is a caricature of Gary.
• The Hignight Hotel is named after writer Gavin Hignight.
• The back of Don Vizioso's flying throne has an "I Brake for Connie Francis" bumper sticker with the Italian flag on it. Connie Francis was a famous Italian-American movie singer in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
• On the back of Don Vizioso's flying throne is a sticker that reads, "Sono Affamato!" This is Italian for "I'm hungry", a nod to the Don constantly eating and being overweight.
