Plot
The episode begins with Bebop and Rockstedy in the Rikers Island Prison when a strange man comes and tells them that someone paid their warrant and they are free to go if they fullfil an order. They both are confused but agree with the terms. As they walk out of the prison some strange guy in a limo tells them to come in and appears to know their names.

Later we see the turtles relaxing at their lair. Michelangelo is playing video games and Donatello is experimenting on something in the subway car while Raphael and Leonardo are palying billard. Raph and Leo start argue as Leonardo says that Raphael is cheating as always. Then Donatello tells them to stop arguing because that distracts him a lot.

Bebop and Rocksteady arrive at the Foot HQ where we see the Shredder alive after the last encounter with the turtles. He tells Bebop and Rocksteady that they are needed for a little experiment and points two containers and some pictures on them - one of a rhino and the other of a warthog. Then a strange silhouette appaers from the shadows and one little slimy, tentacled brain-thing is seen, controlling some robotic legs. He tells them that they may call him Krang (the same thing that was in the alien ship in the Invasion Of The Punk Frogs) and that they will have to do something for him and his plans.They agree and two Foot ninjas push them in the canisters where a glowing ooze falls over them. They start scraming as they turn into mutants. Then we see them coming out as two giant freaks who quickly show their clumsiness and stupidity. Bebop farts and as Rocksteady waves his hand to show that he's disgusted and breaks a jar containing some kind of radioactive cockroaches wich flee through the containers into the sewer system. Meanwhile Krang explains the two mutants what their task is. He tells them that they are hired to collect DNA samples from the turtles. Krang then gives them what is needed for the task. Then, the Shredder provides them with weapons and tell them to kill the turtles after they collect the DNA samples.

Back in the turtle lair, the brothers are still doing free time activities till the lights went out. That causes Michelangelo to cry pretending that his game died, Donatello is angry because his experiment has failed and Raphael hits Leonardo with the eight ball. Leonardo says that Raph did that on purpose. Splinter then comes in the room with a candle and tells the turtles to see what the problem is.

The turtles go out and while standing on a rooftop start a conversation. Leonardo points out that they have already checked every place from where the problem could have come. Donatello says that is possible the problem to be a mas breakdown. Then, the brothers see some firecrackers
