The Turtles, Mondo and Sally are lurking near a rotting mansion, with Donatello scanning the area with binoculars. Hob has called them and told them to meet him there, but to lay low until "the time was right."

Just then, Dark Water and E.P.F. vehicles drive up, and a helicopter with a sniper in it flies directly over the Turtles. Hob shouts out of the mansion that he wants there to be no shooting, and that he's coming out. It's revealed that he has Bishop's father and Knight's wife Pam, whom he has kidnapped as leverage against his enemies. Holding Pam at gunpoint, he orders Pam to tell her husband what he has said to her.

Knight comes out to demand that Hob give back his wife, and confirms that a sniper is aiming at the mutant cat. But before the sniper can fire, Leonardo and Sally charge forward, Raphael and Michelangelo trounce some of the mercenaries, and Donatello forces the helicopter to land with the antigravity gauntlet. Before they can activate the active denial system, Mondo knocks out the drivers and turns the weapon on Dark Water instead.

With most of his men unconscious, Knight is forced to listen to Hob's demands. Pam explains that all Hob wants is his "family" of mutants, and that he'll leave them alone if he gets them back. Unfortunately, before Knight can do anything, the Bishop-controlled Slash appears, declaring that the E.P.F. doesn't negotiate with mutants.

Knight finally says that the E.P.F. may not negotiate with mutants, but Dark Water does. He radios Winter to tell him the operation is terminated, and Winter puts a gun to Bishop's head, declaring that wars are a dime a dozen, but family is rare and priceless. The Mutanimals and Lindsey are unloaded from a truck, Herman with a new metal claw and the now disembodied Seymour only barely alive. Just before Dark Water departs, Winter tosses a gun to Ray, and leaves Bishop in his custody.

But just then, the timid scientist Dr. Shevlin sends a rampaging Slash to knock down Ray and throw the entire vehicle at the Mutanimals. Bishop takes control of Slash once again, attacking the Turtles. Hob responds by putting a gun to Bishop's father's head, threatening to shoot him if Bishop doesn't back down. But Bishop responds that "that lifeless, mindless shell is not my 'old man'" and that all that remains of his father lives on in Bishop himself. The old man watches in horror as Slash leaps down on him and easily crushes him.

An enraged Hob flies directly at Bishop and claws his face, only to find a robotic face underneath his skin. As Hob recoils in horror that Bishop killed his own father, Bishop says that he only freed his father from a meaningless existence, and then gloats that his father was right, that they must become monsters in order to fight monsters. Before he can don the headpiece that lets him control Slash, Leonardo slices off both of his hands, which are also mechanical.

As police vehicles come closer, the mutants rush away in the vehicles that have been left there. Hob tries to get Slash to hear him, but the snapping turtle can't hear him, and they don't have the time to rescue him before the police arrive. Bishop shouts after them that this isn't done.

Driving off in Hob's van, Michelangelo worries about Slash, and Leonardo assures him that they'll do something to help the bigger turtle, because Clan Hamato never leaves family behind. Raphael jokes that he isn't going to call Leonardo "Master," and Leonardo tells Donatello that they're going to need some new tech soon. Donatello remarks that he might start with the van they're currently driving.
