• Title: Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – Raph Thinks It Through
• wiki: link

Following the same format of the first two episodes of the series, “Raph Thinks It Through” offers a standalone tale for Raphael (Brady Noon) who spends most of the episode strung up by the Purple Dragons who fish him out of the river following his fight with a Mechazoid. Unable to use his brawn, Raph is forced to use his brains (especially after the killer robot tracks him to the gang’s lair). While the dimwitted Hun (Carlin James) was okay, I didn’t love the show’s interpretation of the Purple Dragons, particularly the animation for Angel (Jamila Velazquez), but the episode works well-enough for another one-off focused on one of the Turtles working outside their usual comfort zone while not being able to rely on their brothers.

Taking place in the same universe as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, the new series starts after the events of the movie and the first few episodes involve the separation of the Turtles who walk into a trap. As you might expect from the title, “Leo Nardo Stands Alone!” focuses on Leonardo (Nicolas Cantu) separated from his brother and hunted by a Mechazoid. Unable to find his brothers, Leo turns to April (Ayo Edebiri) providing the funniest moment of the episode in which Leo describes recent interactions with his brothers to her.
