Trivia

 * First appearance of the Sea Monster.
 * First appearance of the Turtle Sub.
 * This is the first time April fights Karai.
 * The scene where Shredder and the captured Kraang having difficulty talking to each other is loosely based on their 80's counterparts.


 * This is the first episode where April has used the weapon that Splinter gave her in Baxter's Gambit.
 * Karai's "Turtle Soup" line is loosely based off the well known Shredder quote "Tonight, I dine on Turtle Soup" from past Ninja Turtles incarnations.
 * Before Karai ate her meal, she prayed "Itadakimas". That means you give special thanks to the people who prepared, hunted, and ranched the dish.
 * The sea monster in this episode is strongly based off the legendary "Loch Ness Monster"
 * Donnie introduces a new invention: the Turtle Sub (a submarine powered by stationairy bikes). By accident or deliberation, it could be a pun reference to the Turtle, the first submersible vessel ever constructed, invented by David Bushnell in 1776, which was likewise powered by a pedalling drive.
 * Karai's line that her father "is in kitchen utensils" was likely a reference to the 1987 series, where in the first encounter between Shredder and the Turtles, Raphael replied to the Shredder introducing himself by calling him "a kitchen utensil"
 * A very adult joke occurs when the sea monster amorously mounts the Turtle Sub as if attempting to mate. As Red Dwarf's David Lister said, "It's either gonna eat us, kill us, or hump us!".
