Plot[]
The episode starts with turtles standing on a rooftop. There Leo is still searching for Karai. Raph says it is pointless to search for her and Donnie agrees with him because he hasn't found a cure for Karai. Leo says that Donnie should have understood him better. Then Mikey says that Leo has feelings for Karai similar to Donnie 's feelings for April and starts teasing Donnie for his crush on April. After that he states that he will never have a crush for a girl because he is dedicated in ninja-ing. Then Raph starts throwing water to Mikey with a hose and the four of them are having fun. While they are playing a light appears in the sky and something like a door opens. Then a girl with a strange outfit appears.
When she is about fall on the roof Mikey runs to catch her. After that he asks her if she is alright but when he looks at her he sees a light around her implying that he fell in love. The girl is excited because she met the legendery hero turtles.
After presenting herself as Renet Tilley, she explains to the turtles that they become famous legends in the future, saying that they will defeat Savanti Romero, a evil being that wants to control all of time. Suddenly Savanti Romero arrives the same way Renet did, trying to steal the scepter that was in her hand.
While the Turtles’ frontal assault fails, Renet is able to send him into the past. Donnie demands an explanation. Renet explains that she works as an Assistant for a time master named Lord Simultaneous, who has created the time scepter: a piece of tech so powerful in can control time and even reshape reality. One day, Savanti tries to steal the scepter, but Renent stole it and planned on luring Romero to the site of his historical defeat by the Turtles. Unfortunately, she’s messed that part of history by banishing him herself. When Lord Simultaneous comes looking for Renet, she quickly head into the past to hunt down Savanti, followed by Mikey and (eventually) his brothers.
A while later, they landed somewhere in Englad,revealing that they time traveled back in time. Suddenly, Renet saw that Savanti was making a few changes in the timeline and told the turtles that they had to stop him. Before they can go after him, Renet changes them into their LA.R.P roleplay outfits back in Mazes and Mutants.
Once they had their disguises on, they were met by a group of knights who thought that they were and goblins tried to fight them. Renet stopped them and told them that they are friendly and Donnie asked one of them where the tower is. Alarmed, the night warned them that they can’t go up there and Mikey assured them that they could take him down, only to see that Savanti was behind them. He attacks them and takes the scepter where he trapped the group in a time loop.
Luckily, Renet managed to punch him with her knuckle gauntlets, breaking the time loop. Knowing that they had to get the scepter back, they began to climb onto one of the horses and started to head to the tower.
By nightfall, the group are forced to enter a dark cemetery until Savanti appears, enraged that they stopped him. He summoned the undead skeletons to attack, forcing the group to fight. No matter how many times they defeat them, they continue to rise back up again, even though Renets gauntlets are burned out and the only weapon she can hold is her entropy dart.
They managed to make it to the tower and comfort Savanti, who trapped them in golden bubbles. He suggested that he can wipe them away from existence but Renet used her dart and popped hers and Mikey’s bubble free. As they attacked Savanti, the other turtles got released and started to fight for the scepter. They finally caught it and sent Savanti into the portal, defeating him.
Now that he is gone for good, Renet decides that they are ready to go home. As they traveled, something started to happen unexpectedly. The turtles suddenly got seperated from Renet and landed somewhere. It was revealed that they are in modern times in Japan, and they are about to be in deep trouble when red cloaked ninjas surround them.
