The Shredder tricks Leatherhead into believing the turtles work with Mary Bones. Leatherhead and crew who engage them in battle, Bebop and Rocksteady throw the turtles' motorized skateboards off the bridge. Leatherhead and Raph are at each other’s throats until Raph points out Leo’s honorable actions in battle and Rocksteady’s dishonorable actions. As Leatherhead starts to get a grip on who the real bad guys are, Shredder arrives and reveals that he never intended to honor his end of the deal with Leatherhead, and the turtles fight Shredder, Bebop and Rocksteady.
