Something Fishy Goes Down : The Turtles are visiting the Burroughs Aquarium and admiring the manta ray there when the proprietor tells them that the place is closing down. The lads make their exit and head for home, in search of dinner. Meanwhile the Shredder, Bebop and Rocksteady are piloting a submarine beneath the waters of the New York Harbor. Shredder informs Krang that Bebop and Rocksteady accidently spilled an entire barrel of Mutagen in the city's sewers, which doesn't make the tentacled alien very happy.

Shredder decides to off the Turtles by shooting a torpedo at them. Just as the deadly missile is about to impact on the beach, an odd shadowy form from the depths grabs it and sends it careening back toward's the sub. Fortunately for the villainous ninja and his cohorts, the torpedo bounces off the submarine's tough hull. Enraged by these strange events, Shredder orders Bebop to steer the sub back to their secret base. However, once the ship is parked, a mysterious shape attaches a huge amount of plastic explosives to its side. Back in the sewers, the Turtles have gotten lost on their way home. As they walk along they see a huge black shape swim by. The boys find a grate, and when they peer through it they see...
