Plot[]
The episode begins with the Council of Heads talking to Garm and Freki. They are furious at Baron Draxum for everything he has done. Though Garm and Freki worked with Draxum, the Councilors will forgive them for their actions. They order them to capture Baron Draxum and bring him here in order to start a trial.
At April's apartment, Raph is fixing the ceiling fan. A loud noise caused the ceiling fan to fall on Raph. Irritated, April complains about her new upstairs neighbor so Raph and April decides to have a talk with the neighbor. However, they found out that Baron Draxum is the upstairs neighbor!!!
Enraged at the sight of their old enemy, Raphael tries to fight him, until Mikey, wearing a dinosaur costume, stops the fight. Raph asks Mikey why Baron Draxum is in New York, to which the latter responds that he is helping Draxum by giving him a second chance. April and Raphael are mad at Mikey for letting Draxum to them, they're still very bitter to him for all the harm he did to them.
After Leo, Donnie, and Splinter arrive, they are also surprised to see Baron Draxum. Splinter doesn't want to share his green bean casserole to Draxum and wants to throw it at Draxum's face, but Mikey catches it, saying that Draxum is going to redeem and is going to be a good guy.
However, everyone doesn't like this idea, as they have an awkward dinner. When Mikey asks his family when there was the last time they all got together: which the family responds coldly towards Draxum (even Leo, who still continues to hold grudge at Draxum for dropping him off the roof of the Grand Nexus Hotel). Splinter starts to complain furiously, which Mikey tells him to stop. Baron Draxum then starts to complain about the humans. Mikey takes out tickets to go to Albearto Land. After asking if anyone wants to come with him and Baron Draxum, everyone declines, so he raises Raph's hand, much to Raph's shock.
At the Albeartoland, Draxum is annoyed by kid is always kicking his leg, and proceeds to kill him, with Mikey explains about the kids' behavior and they arrived at the bumpy ride.
Moments later, Guardsmen, Garm and Freki, arrived to arrest Baron Draxum, as Draxum escaped while Raph and Mikey hold them off.
The weapons of two guardsmen knock the carousel, which there is mother and daughter, Draxum goes to save them, with his mask is destroyed. Mikey, Raph and Baron defeated them.
With the people saved, Mikey and Raph knew Draxum has to get a job.
Draxum works at the cafeteria of Washington Irving High School, much to April's discomfort, ending the episode.
Quotes[]
- April: Now, don’t make a scene. You’re not gonna make a scene. You gonna make a scene? Don’t make a scene.
- Baron Draxum: I told you Carol, I do not want to meet your daughter!
- Mikey: That’s right, Dr. Positive. The one who’s going to turn you from bad guy, to glad guy! From sad heap, to happy sheep! From devil, to A-level, baby!
- Splinter: Well I figured the guy who turned me into a rat, could just mutate the potatoes into cream corn!
- Baron Draxum: But why? You are fools! You put sunglasses on your dogs, you take pictures of your food, and do not get me started on Carol!
- Baron Draxum: Stop kicking me! Where is your mother? I’ll have her fed to wolves.
- Mikey: Dr. Positive is becoming Dr. Slightly-Disappointed.
Trivia[]
- It is revealed in this episode that April's mother is named Carol.
- It was confirmed in May 2023 by Rise of the TMNT staff writer Ron Corcillo in a Tweet that "Carol" is not the name of April's mother, but actually the name of a different tenant in April and Draxum's apartment complex.[1]
- The woman Draxum saves debuted earlier in "Mascot Melee" and reappears later in "Battle Nexus: New York".
- Draxum returns and ceases being an antagonist, however, he remains cold and arrogant, now acting like neutral character.
- This is the second and last appearance of the Council of Heads.
- This is the final appearance of the Guardsmen.
- The appearance of Draxum's eyes without his mask differ from their appearance when he wears his mask. His eye color changes from black to orange with visible irises, the lines encircling his eyeballs disappear, and his eye shape changes, too, becoming less rounded as well as larger.
- It was revealed in May 2020 by Rise of the TMNT staff writer Russ Carney in a Tweet that, "Splinter's innocuous question about creamed corn was supposed to end with him leaping on the table ready to kill Draxum with silverware."[2] In October 2020, Carney also stated in the fan interview Turtles Rising that, "In that scene, the dinner scene, it was always my hope that Splinter would leap up onto the table with knives ready to kill [Draxum]. But animation is hard and we had a lot of constraints on what we could depict only because of the cost-effectiveness of things. There was a whole rating system, 'This is a level four episode. We need a level one episode, so we need two more level one [episodes] and then you can have a level three [episode].' . . . So Splinter didn't get the knives."[3]
