Plot
The turtles meet in the sewer to go tubing. Raphael is anxious because he is first to arrive and the others are late. Leonardo, Donatello and Michelangelo brought colored tubes, and Raphael took a tire off the Turtle Tank. Donatello advises his brothers to always take a left turn to stay on the lazy river. While doing their "Midnight Pass" play with Lace Face the football, Raphael and his brothers become separated when Raphael accidentally takes a right turn leaping for the ball. Leonardo tells Michelangelo and Donatello that they need to find Raphael immediately, because he becomes savage when he is alone. Donatello reminds Leonardo that he is on vacation, but reluctantly agrees to look for Raphael. Meanwhile, Raphael has lost Lace Face and and his tube Tire. He panics and causes some damage to the sewer. The Sando brothers see Raphael walking through the sewers along and decide to scare him out of his shell and eat him. They disguise themselves as sewer monsters and tell Raphael he will live forever in their bellies, alone. Raphael can't handle the idea of being alone forever, and turns into Savage Raph. Savage Raph attacks the Sando brothers and chases them through the sewer. Meanwhile, Leonardo, Donatello, and Michelangelo are looking for Raphael. They find Tire, and fall into a pit of sludge. Savage Raph is barbecuing the Sando brothers on a ledge beside the pit. He mistakes his brothers for more sludge monsters and attacks. At Leonardo's suggestion, Michelangelo tricks Savage Raph into opening a flood gate, which washes the sludge (and the Sando Brothers) away. However, Savage Raph still believes his brothers are sewer monsters. Then Leonardo finds Lace Face. Michelangelo, Leonardo, and Donatello start the "Midnight Pass", play, and Savage Raph leaps to catch the ball, turning back into Raphael.
