'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' Season 4 Episode 2 Recap: New Allies for the Turtles; Raphael Falls in Love

By

"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" Episode 2 titled The Moon of Thalos 3", took off in another planet where Raphael, Donatello, Michaelangelo and Leonardo, together with Casey, Alice and Fugitoid, formed an unlikely alliance with the lizard aliens called Salamandrians. Meanwhile, Raphael's heart melted for one of the strong female lizard aliens he called Mona Lisa.

According to Fansided, it has been the Turtles' mission to prevent their enemy, the Triceratons, from assembling the black hole generator that led to the destruction of earth. While trying to evade the enemies, Fugitoid's ship got damaged and it was headed for a crash landing. Unfortunately, the ship bumped into another ship flown by the Salamandrians.

The ship crash landed on another planet made of methane ice. The crew only has a few hours of power, heat and oxygen left, but luckily, Donatello found a supply of refined metal. So did the Salamandrians who needed the metal for their damaged ship as well. The female lizard aliens wanted to destroy the Turtles and the rest of the crew. However, Fugitoid tried his best to negotiate and make peace with the lizard aliens but to no avail. Leonardo tried to shake his hands with the Sal Commander but unfortunately, it was a gesture of combat for the Salamandrians. A battle then ensured between the Salamandrians and the group and Raphael got beaten up by a female lizard alien whom he later called Mona Lisa.

Raphael admitted his feelings to the group after they escaped the battle but was insulted. He broke off from the group and climbed the mountain on his own, went to the Salamandrians and tried to negotiate but the Mona Lisa blasted the ice beneath him, sending him down the cliff. Raphael battled with the ice dragons and climbed up, but instead of blasting him again, Mona Lisa decided to save him. The fight with the ice dragons changed how the Salamandrians perceived the Turtles and realized they were not enemies. They eventually formed an alliance.

Meanwhile, the scene with Mona Lisa saving Raphael was the start of their so-called love story. According to IGN, the budding romance between Raphael and Mona Lisa added "a humorous, quippy dynamic to their first few encounters."

Black Nerd Comedy, in a recent video post, added that Raphael met his match when he fought Mona Lisa. He was always the one who fights first and losing to a feisty female lizard alien made him fall for her.

With a new alliance and a new love for Raphael, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are set to accomplish their mission on the Triceratons. Catch them every Sunday at 11am on Nickelodeon.
