All it gets is a small mention later on in Season 3 that Mikey just likes to collect them. Mikey’s connection to underwear is also something that will never be picked up again despite it being clearly established here.That was a narrative problem that, like the writers, is best left ignored (until “Monsters Among Us” which is the proper time to get pissed about it). Shredder could’ve easily gotten that information out of Kirby during the events of “Showdown” finding April and/or Casey any time having Karai as a prisoner in the second half of this season even having her, Raph, Slash, and Rockwell as slaves from “Clash of the Mutanimals” onwards. It’s only that way because the creators constantly cheat to keep the location of the turtles home out of the hands of the Foot. The lair actually isn’t so “secret” and “hidden” as Splinter asserts.It doesn’t turn out as easy as he hoped, his nervous expressions, his nervous joke, and his hasty turn at attention seal the deal. Leo trying to explain things to Splinter was gold.Hence the drop in the rating, even though that trend will continue next episode. It’s just a shame that the events of the episode had to follow Mikey’s comic book so closely: just let the show breathe a little! And of course, there’s the fact that the Squirrelanoids return and yet, within the span of the last 95 episodes we never see them again! As an entertainment nut, I can’t stand when you have unfinished storylines like that and don’t resolve them whether the villains clearly come back (as is the case here) or the door is simply left open for their return-the more important, the less excusable it is to not include them (and that even goes for Blight in “Batman Beyond”). A mix of “Alien” (mostly) and “Dreamcatcher”, this is not the best conceived (certainly not the most original) mutant of the week episode of the series but it does provide a lot of funny lines and funny scares as well as moments that show how close knit this team is whether it’d be the above picture, Raph and Mikey hanging out, the “surgery” situation, etc.
