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.

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...
