Plot[]
The Turtles arrive at Bradford's Dojo where they encounter all 3 versions of Chris Bradford himself (his human self, Dogpound and Rahzar). The Turtles defeat the 3 and it was revealed to be a hologram training program that Fugitoid made.
After training, Donnie expresses his admiration for the technological feat of the holograms, To which Raphael Boasts his thoughts on it not being strong enough. When Fugitoid offers to dial up the levels of the hologram to a point where it can actually break bones, Raph dismisses the offer.
A brief moment with Michelangelo and Casey Jones introduces the technology of the think-a-food machine. a piece of technology which can produce any food that comes to mind, which of course, is abused by Mike to create an abomination of ingredients just like he did with his cooking down on earth. This technology could perhaps be viewed as foreshadowing of the events to come because of the ability to create "any" food within the think- a food machine. and perhaps to be careful what you wish for.
Fugitoid approaches Leonardo, Asking if he was satisfied with the training. To which Leonardo vocalizes his concerns about the Triceratons. and their time restraints for finding the pieces of the black hole generator. At this point, Fugitoid reveals he may have lost the Triceratons. Immediately after which they receive a distress signal from a nearby ship. When they arrive to the ship, there appears to be no signs of life, and a strange hole blown from the inside of the ship. Raph theories that perhaps the damage was done from the inside, or that the crew did it. Fugitoid meanwhile still cannot sense any life. April becomes nervous, she says that she doesn't need to be psychic to get a bad feeling about the ship that they're on.
Casey pushes past them all and declares that the ship is totally boring and he "wishes" something non-boring could happen. In the glass on his helmet, you can see a blue glow reflecting off it. which indicates the first signs of Wyrm's presence. Casey leaves the company of the turtles, And goes to investigate the strange glowing.
The Turtles, April and Casey decide to search the wreckage for survivors, get into their space suits and go on board the ship. But the crew finds only their bodies, and Casey discovers a strangely luminous cube. But no sooner does he takes it into his hand, they are surrounded by the crew, which has been transformed into a horde of living dead; but they fight them off and shake them, and take the cube safely back on board the ship. There, Honeycutt identifies the cube that Casey has found, as a hypercube, a key to a Fifth Dimension, the home of numerous extra-dimensional entities. He decides to lock the cube up safely, but Casey, who strangely refuses to give it, has to have it ripped right out of his hands.
When the Turtles later view a recording of the old cartoon show Chris Bradford's 2 Ruff Krew, Casey sneaks secretly into the section of the vessel in which the Fugitoid has housed the cube. As if under a compulsion, he handles the cube and finally opens it; which oozes out a cloud of smoke with eyes, standing in front of Casey - and the Turtles, April and Honeycutt, who noticed Casey's disappearance too late - is a grotesque, lauthalsigen figure called Wyrm. Wyrm tells them that it is his job to spread joy in the universe and therefore offers them three wishes that he could fulfill - two, since Casey has already squandered the first of them with the revival of the Astrozombies.
After Wyrm has explained to them the rules that accompany the fulfillment of these wishes, the Turtles & Co. begin to advise what they could do with them. As Casey makes a bit too self-centered proposal Donatello bursts at the collar that he accidentally engaged with the wish that Casey is no longer to be such a Spatzenhirn; This wish is promptly fulfilled and transforms Casey into a hyper-intelligent, omniscient being. As they now have only one wish left, the Turtles decide to make the last selection extremely carefully.
But this does not seem to fit into Wyrm's intentions; he disappears, and the next moment the ship collides with an obstacle. When looking back, the friends realize that they have somehow been caught both outside and inside the hypercube. Then Honeycutt identifies the pirate as one of the three legendary creators of chaos, omnipotent cosmic entities locked up in Hypercubes long ago to protect the universe from their escapades; a fulfillment of all three wishes would mean the liberation of Wyrm and thus total chaos for the entirely of creation. When the Turtles refuse to make a wish after this news, Wyrm is able to cope with them effortlessly, without the Turtles themselves being able to get hold of him. Raphael is finally so angry in frustration that he promptly wants a super-weapon against Wyrm. He gets the demand, but the weapon is made ineffective by Wyrm's rules to his wishes and the third wish is wasted.
To celebrate his liberation, Wyrm begins arbitrarily eradicating entire planets and stars. The Turtles try to prevent him from doing so, but they still have no chances. To all this, Casey, despite his new hyper-intelligence, seems to see no other solution to this problem than to join Wyrm! Thereupon the enthusiastic Wyrm, on his advice, gives Casey the power to make another wish to finally get the Turtles out of the way. But to Wyrm's horror Casey wants everything to be as if they had not found the hypercube at all; and although Wyrm is desperately opposed to it, the wish is legitimate and must therefore be fulfilled.
And so time goes back until shortly before the moment, when Casey is in the wreck of the spaceship begins his wish for a little more excitement. Led by déjà vu, April however, stops him, and so the cube remains undiscovered. When the Turtles and their friends leave the wreck to return to Honeycutt's ship, Wyrm, caught helplessly in the cube, can only despair of his lost liberation...

Transcript[]
Trivia[]
- This episode is a homage to the episode Meet the Wigglenog from another show Ciro Nieli worked on Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go! or SRMTHFG!. It also includes many references to the episode.
- Both include an accidental summoned genie-like character who needs 3 wishes to be granted to create chaos to the universe and escape from his prison.
- The first wish made in both episodes is a wish for more action and less dullness.
- The second wish made in both episodes is a wish for a character to be smarter.
- The third wish was an anti-genie cannon/bazooka.
- The events of the episode are then undone by a character (Otto in SRMTHG!, Casey in TMNT) who is granted super intelligence, and then fakes joining with the villain, only to wish the events of the episode never happened.
- There is even a picture of the Wigglenog on Fugitoid's holographic projections when he is describing Wyrm.
- Brandon Auman wrote both episodes.
