- Previously on "Tales of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles."
The second we get a power outage in the Lair,
it's somehow my fault.
It's a storm! It happens.
Me and Wingnut went to fix it, and Wingnut freaked.
She's afraid of everything.
But there's plenty to be afraid of
like a scary mutant eel and an actual alligator.
Did I think the gator was a de-mutated Leatherhead?
Yes, and I'm not proud of it.
But I embraced my right-brained self
and we survived.
And nobody cared because the whole city
was in danger from the East River Three.
Typical.
- [slurps]
Mm, good tea.
[loudly] And now...
[all yelp] The conclusion.
The final battle began
as the forces of good and evil converged
on the Museum of Natural History.
- Oh, wait. What about Leo?
How did he fit into the East River Three scheme?
- Hey, you know what? We--we could skip it.
It's not that big of a deal.
- Oh, now we haveto hear it.
- Come on, Dad, tell us.
- Ooh, man, Nardo is so busted.
- Very well.
Leonardo's story began
when his irresponsibility lost Pigeon Pete to the storm
and then nearly destroyed the city.
- This is going to be bad.
You are a natural leader
with a bold, commanding presence
that people can't help but follow.
[fortune cookie crunches]
They respect you
and maybe fear you a little too.
But most importantly, they listen to you.
[pigeon squawking loudly]
Ugh. Pete, will you just listen to me?
We're--we're supposed to be getting air.
Come on, man. We have to go up.

Oh, why do I always get saddled with you?
And how hard is using the bathroom, OK?
I put newspapers all over the Lair.
