Plot[]
While out on patrol, Michelangelo stops everyone when he sees that his favorite comedian, Jimmy Guffaw, is doing a routine at a local comedy club. He begs Leonardo to let him go see, but Leo tells him it's too risky and they all go back to the lair.
Pouting in his room, Mikey whines that he never gets to have any fun. Suddenly, a time window opens up and Renet enters, saying she saw how down in the dumps Mikey was and wants to take him back to the funniest moment in his life. Mikey is surprised that she can do that, but knows exactly which point in time he wants to experience again. He tells her to set her staff to one year, three hours, and seven minutes ago. Renet comments that he has an oddly precise handle on time, and Mikey answers that it was the day Leo slipped on a banana peel. Together they travel back in time one year.
They arrive in the tunnels, just as the past-Turtles are returning to the lair. Mikey suddenly changes his attitude and makes Renet hide. He tells her that this was the funniest day of his life, but also the scariest, as shortly after Leo slipped, Mikey encountered "the Mud Man from Beyond."
Mikey peeks around the corner and catches Leo slipping, but fails to contain his fits of laughter, which causes him to slide on the mud. He falls into the pit of mud and gets covered from head to toe.
Past-Mikey hears the commotion and goes out to the tunnels to check. Renet manages to hide, but Past-Mikey spots the "mud man" and runs away in terror. Mikey and Renet share a good laugh and return to the present.
Mikey thanks Renet for cheering him up and bids her farewell as she steps into her time window. Leaving his room, he finds his brothers all laughing at Raphael, who has somehow slipped and fallen into a bowl of spaghetti. They tell Mikey he shouldn't have missed it, but Mikey insists he'll just catch "the rerun".
Trivia[]
- The Turtles first met Renet in the Nickelodeon TMNT season 3 episode, "Turtles in Time".
