The episode begins with the Turtles driving the Turtle Tank to a rental DVD store.

Leo: I have to tell you, guys. This is gonna be our most easiest mission ever.

Raph: Yeah it is! We just have to return this DVD back to the rental DVD store just like what pop says.

[FLASHBACK]

Splinter: And if you return this DVD in time, I shall reward you with hugs! And uh...

They begin to cheer happily.

Raichu: Oh don't worry, Splinter! We can totally bring that DVD back to the DVD store! You can count on us!

Leo: Actually, you and the others can stay here.

Raichu: What?! Why?!

Leo: This is gonna be quick. Besides, it'll take us seconds to return the DVD and we'll be back home so we can get those hugs.

Vaporeon: But not to worry. We will accompany them this time.

Flareon: Yeah! It's gonna be easy! I promise ya'!

Raichu: Well~, alright. But don't be out too long! You know how much I can't stay still for a certain period of time!

Leo: We won't. Promise. We'll be right back and stay right here.

Tsareena: Okay! Be safe!

Male Meowstic: Don't get yourselves in trouble!

Flareon: You won't have to worry about us! We won't get into trouble of any kind! See ya' later, guys! (leaves)

[FLASHBACK ENDS]

They come out of the Turtle Tank and begins walking to the store.

Mikey: So what would happen if we don't return the DVD?

Donnie: Then Splinter has to pay extra. It's call a "late fee".

Flareon: And we don't have any money either so we can't mess this up!

Rockruff: Right!

Leo: Nice idea for the costumes, Donnie. With these, we can easily blend in with the people here. (zooms out to see an empty parking lot)

Rockruff: Huh? It looks so empty here.

Jolteon (wearing an orange bow around his neck): Where is everyone?! I thought this place would be packing full of people!

Suddenly, an explosion happen and steel bars begins to form from the wreckage.

Vaporeon (wearing a light blue scarf around his neck): Oh~! I see it now. Seems like this is gonna be a construction site.

Flareon (wearing a red hoodie with a flame print on it; two holes for his ears): Okay, new plan!

The scene switches to the Turtles on the ferry.

Rockruff: We didn't know it was gonna turn into a construction site!

Mikey: Yeah! There weren't any signs that tell us it was a construction site! (leans forward) Ah~ what?! Wet paint?! Come on~! We must be cursed! We'll never return the DVD!

Espeon (wearing a pair of dark purple-frame goggles over his eyes): Easy, Mikey. Easy~... It'll be alright... Besides, as long as this ferry keeps going straight, we'll be fine.

Mikey: You sure?

Espeon: Positive!

Donnie: But I have a better idea. In ancient times, in early 2002, there were these machines known as DVD kiosks. If we get to one of them, we can return the DVD that way.

Flareon: Perfect! Then we can go home for some hugs!

Jolteon: Big cuddly hugs!

Vaporeon: And the ferry is almost to the docks.

The begin to cheer but the speaker was turn on.

Speaker: Uh folks, eh~ a movie production is in progress so the harbor is uh~ closed.

Everyone: What?!

Flareon: Oh come on~! We were so close!

Donnie: (sighs) New York, what a town.

Raph: Okay, new NEW plan! We SWIM our way to the docks!

Rockruff: Swim?! You sure about that?! Can we really do it?!

Jolteon: If we believe in ourselves we can! Let's swim to it!

Leo: (as he jumps into the water) Way~ ahead of you!

Vaporeon: (jumps into the water) Come on, guys! The water's just fine!

Flareon: Though I don't like being wet, we don't have much of a choice.

They jumped into the water and swim to the docks. The screen shifts to a boy in a wizard outfit carrying a bunch of DVDs at a kiosk.

Flareon: Looks like we found one. It's go time.

They approached to the kiosk.

Raph: Um, excuse me? Don't want to bother you but...

???: You shall not pass!

Everyone: (groans)

Raph: We don't have time for this!

Flareon: To the next kiosk... Cause this guy is gonna be there for a long time.

Jolteon: Right.

After walking around, they went to the subway station where a kiosk is there.

Rockruff: Finally! Now we can return the DVD!

Jolteon: Raphael, if you may...

Raph: Right! (rummages around his pocket) Huh? Uh... (laughs nervously) Well, have you guys ever...?

Everyone: Seriously?!

Raph: Oh yeah. I must've left it at the Turtle Tank.

Espeon: And why would you leave it there?!

Raph: To keep it safe! Besides, it was Donnie's idea to use the ferry!

Donnie: My idea?! It was your idea in the first place! Don't blame me on this!

Raph: Okay, I admit it. But Raph's ideas and mistakes are one and the same.

Leo: Now what are we gonna do?

Raph: Don't worry, guys. We can just head back to the docks. The ferry should be returning there.

Mikey: That's too far and we will never get Splinter's hugs!

Espeon: Not to worry.

Jolteon: What do you mean by that, Sputnik?

Espeon: Well there is one thing we can use to get to the docks. An unreliable deliciously claustrophobic sense of transit. (points to the subway that appeared) The subway.

Everyone: Ah~...

Jolteon: Great idea, Sputnik!

Espeon: Thanks. Now we should enter before it starts moving.

Everyone: Right! (enters subway)

???: Come on, girl! You need to take the subway to experience the ways of a true New Yorker!

???: But I heard it has germs and stuff!

???: You're being paranoid! Now hop on board before it takes off! (pushes her)

She hops to the subway and bumps into Leo.

???: Whoops. My bad. Sorry.

Leo: Hey, are you... (looks at her and blushes)

???: I'm fine... (looks at him) Thank you. And also, (slaps him and stands up) don't touch me, peasant! (dust herself off)

???: Josephina, don't slap a guy just because he helped you!

Josephina: But I don't want my outfit to be ruined by peasant hands.

Leo: What's her problem?!

Toiana: Sorry about Josephina. She's a rich girl so~ yeah. The name's Toiana Bennett. Nice to meetcha'.

Mikey: (gasps happily) I know you! Are you Toi-B?! THE Toi-B?! The hip-hop sensation of the internet?!

Toiana: Yup, that's me. You must be one of my fans right?

Mikey: Absolutely! Love your music, Toi-B! You're so awesome and I love it when you sing! It's so cool! I always wanted to meet you in person and now's my chance and-

Toiana: Whoa whoa. Calm down, orange. I'm always glad to meet one of my fans. But you need to breathe before you get suffocated by your own words.

Mikey: Oh right. (breathes out) Okay, I'm good. I'm just excited to finally meet you in person.

Toiana: (chuckling) Aw~, you're so adorable! (squishing his cheeks back and forth) I could just pinch those cheeks of yours.

Mikey: (chuckling happily) Thanks... I am quite adorable.

Josephina: Hmph! Sorry I slapped you but I don't want your grubby hands on my outfit. It's very special to me.

Leo: None taken, princess! You didn't have to slapped me like that! I was saving you from falling down completely!

Josephina: Don't raise your voice at me, Leo! (covers her mouth with her hands)

Leo: Hey, how did you know my name is Leo? Did someone told you?

Alolan Meowth: No, not at all! It was a simple guess!

Vaporeon: Well that "guess" was oddly specific.

Josephina: Whatever! While we're riding on this subway, you better not lay a finger on me or I'll karate chop you! I know self defense from my classes!

Leo: I won't touch you. I promise.

Josephina: Good to hear. (turns away)

Leo: (whispers to Undertow) What a pain...

Vaporeon: (whispers to Leo) Tell me about it. She's acting like a spoiled brat.

Leo: Exactly. Though she's very beautiful.

Vaporeon: Eh? You think she's cute?

Leo: More than that. She's beautiful and hot. And she got that spunk. I think I hit the jackpot.

Vaporeon: Leo, don't think about it.

Leo: Already thinking about it. (clears his throat) So since you already know my name, what's yours?

Alolan Meowth: If you must know, this is Josephina Gainsborough. Daughter of a famous movie actress and stepdaughter of a well-known doctor.

Leo: Josephina... That's a beautiful name for a very beautiful girl such as yourself.

Josephina: (blushes a little) You think I'm beautiful? Uh I mean, of course you do! Every boy had told me I'm the most beautiful girl they ever seen. Nobody can match my good looks at all.

Leo: I see... Well I would like to get to know you while we're on this subway. You know, just to make time go any faster.

Josephina: Alright then. We shall discuss about each other while we're in here.

Leo: Right. (chuckles)

Josephina: (sighs) This is gonna be a long one.

Mikey: (snuggling beard) I can already feel Splinter's hug now. And spoiler: They are plush.

???: You have step into Dragon Master's personal space!

Rockruff: Sorry, Dragon Master! It's just your beard is so soft and fluffy!

Dragon Master: I see... You like my beard eh?

Jolteon: Of course! It's so soft~... Like Splinter's fur...

The subway stops.

Donnie: New York. What a town.

Toiana: We wanna come with you! Just wait up!

Josephina: Seriously?

Toiana: This could be exciting! Come on!

Josephina: Fine but I hope it doesn't take long.

As they leave, Ghostbear and Moon Crusher runs and jumps out of the subway.

Ursaring: Those tartugas are gonna pay.

Ghostbear: I know how you feel, Moon Crusher. But we must be patient until we get them where we wanted them to be.

Ursaring: Right.

|Docks|

Josephina: You left the Turtle Tank in the docks?

Flareon: We have to. After all, we were using the ferry!

Espeon: Now we should get the DVD and then we can return it before midnight.

Jolteon: And get hugs from Splinter! I can't wait!

Rockruff and Mikey spot a free DVD rental ticket. The wind blows it to a kiosk that was behind the Turtle Tank.

Rockruff: Look, we found one!

Mikey: My horoscope did say we could be lucky!

Espeon: It was behind us the entire time?!

Flareon: Now we can return that DVD and go home!

Raph: Right! And then it's hugging time! (jumps into the Turtle Tank)

Raph grabs the DVD but accidentally push the emergency break. It slightly taps the kiosk which causes it to fall and DVDs spewing out of it before shutting off.

Turtles: NO~!!!!!!

Toiana: Wow. One slight tap and it's down for the count!

Josephina: This is pathetic. This should be a simple task. Return the DVD and yet, look at this. It's broken. I bet you're full of bad luck.

Toiana: Josephina!

Josephina: I'm being honest here.

Toiana: (puts her arms around the Turtles) Hey, cheer up. You guys aren't cursed. You're just having a bad day. And everyone and their mother knows how you feel. You just want to have this task be simple but things just don't go your way! So instead of crying about it, suck up those tears and keep going until it gets better!

Mikey: You mean it, Toi-B?

Toiana: Absolutely!

Mikey: But how much worse could it get?

Rockruff's ears perked up as suddenly, a motorcycle appears over their heads and Ghostbear grabs the DVD from Raph's hand.

Josephina: What the?!

Ursaring: Why hello there, tartugas! We have meet again!

Turtles: Ghostbear?!

Toiana: What is he doing here?

Ghostbear: I have come for revenge! You tartugas have ruin our winning streak! (flashback from Shell in a Cell appears) And now we shall destroy something you love most. Like this DVD, estupidos!

Raph: I hope estupidos mean brillant!

Flareon: And give us the DVD!

Ursaring: Catch us for it!

They begin to drive off.

Toiana: Looks like we got ourselves a chase scene.

Raph: New new NEW plan. The tortoise gets the bear.

Everyone: Right!

They begin to chase after Ghostbear and Moon Crusher via Turtle Tank.

Leo: Why are there wizards in the middle of the road?!

Mikey: It's Wizard-Con!

Jolteon: The one time of year where people dress up as wizards and witches to talk about-

Flareon: Basically, fantasy stuff! Not the time to talk about this! We have some bears to chase after!

They head into the Holland Tunnel.

Josephina: So now what?!

Raph: Mikey, Leo, ride the Shellhogs!

Toiana: Shellhogs?!

Mikey: Come with me, Toi-B! You're gonna love it!

Toiana: Sure thing! (follows Mikey)

Josephina: And I'll just sit here and let you do the rest.

Raph: Actually, you should go with Leo, Josephina.

Josephina: Eh? Why I never!

Leo: It'll be fine. Just hold on tight alright?

Josephina: Jeez... Alright, I'll join you. But don't crash into anything.

Leo: I promise, your highness. Let's go!

The two are now riding on the Shellhogs and drives after Ghostbear and Moon Crusher.

Jolteon: Give us back the DVD, Ghost-jerk!

Ursaring: Make us, você pragas! {Translation: you pests!} Hammer Arm!

Mikey: (dodges Hammer Arm) Ha! You missed! Now's our turn! Sparky, Pin Missile! Musa, Rock Throw!

Jolteon: Pin Missile!

Rockruff: Rock Throw!

Ghostbear reflects it using his chain whip.

Jolteon: You gotta be kidding me! Now what?!

Josephina: Alolan Meowth, use Dark Pulse on those two hooligans!

Leo: Undertow, Water Gun!

Alolan Meowth: Dark Pulse!

Vaporeon: Water Gun!

Ursaring: Protect! You won't attack us now!

Vaporeon: (growling) This is getting ridiculous!

Meanwhile, Raph and Donnie are driving the Turtle Tank when suddenly, the Dragon Master and his Braixen appears on the road. Causing them to crash the Turtle Tank.

Donnie: I can fix this! I can fix this! I can totally fix this!

Flareon: Have any other ideas as to how to get Ghostbear?

Raph: Help a brother out and share your inventions.

Donnie: Well there is one thing but I haven't tested it out yet so...

Raph: Tests are easy! It's answers that are hard...

Donnie: I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! LET'S DO THIS! (pulls down lever)

[ZOOM]

Dragon Master: Whoa~!

Braixen: Now that's fast. Dragon Master?

Dragon Master: Yeah...

[ZOOM]

Josephina: What was that?!

Donnie: THIS IS AWESOME~!!!!!

Raph: WHERE DID EVERYONE GO~?!!!!!!!!!!!

Leo: This gives me a reckless idea. (dodges Ghostbear's attack and raspberries him)

Josephina: What are you planning, Leo?!

Leo: It's simple. (takes out sword) Just watch and you'll see.

Using the Shellhog, he summons a large portal.

Leo: I did it!

Mikey: Leo, you're blocking the portal!

Leo: Huh?

Josephina: We need to move, you idiot!

[CRASH]

They all fall into the portal.

|Shopping District|

Raichu: Finally! After all we've been through, we made it! (sniffs) Now we can return the DVD back to the return bin. (grabs DVD from Nightmare's paws) I shall do the honor of returning this DVD back to the bin where it belongs until future rentals.

Before he could do that, Leo and the others crashed into him.

Midnight Lycanroc: That's what I call "making an entrance."

Raichu: (gets himself off of the pile) What's with the crash landing?! I was about to get this DVD to the return bin!

Leo: What do you mean, Lemon?! Ghostbear and Moon Crusher has the DVD!

Male Meowstic: I knew my decoy would work. You see, that one is a fake.

Ghostbear: What~?! (opens DVD case) This is a fake!

Ursaring: Como você ousa nos enganar com um DVD falso! {Translation: How dare you trick us with a fake DVD!}

Leo: And I thought you were still in the Lair.

Raichu: You were taking so long so we have to go look for you guys! It was long and treasurous but we find you and now we can return it to the return bin!

Ursaring: Not for long! Now I can have my revenge on you, hamster!

Raichu: Oh you wanna fight eh?!

[CRASH]

Toiana: You two alright?!

Flareon: We're fine...

Espeon: What a ride... Woo~...

Ursaring: I shall destroy all of you! So that way I can get my revenge!

Raichu: Looks like this is round 2.

Midnight Lycanroc: Right. We can handle this one!

Ursaring: (rips fake DVD apart) Let's do this! (charges at them)

Raichu: Emerald, put it to the return bid! (throws DVD to Emerald)

Male Meowstic: (catches DVD) Right.

Ursaring: Hammer Arm!

Midnight Lycanroc: Bulk Up! (powers up and blocks Hammer Arm) Now's my turn. (lets go and jumps forward) Dual Chop!

Ursaring: (grunts loudly) Why you little...!

Raichu: Nice hit, Nightmare!

Midnight Lycanroc: Thanks.

Emerald was about to put the DVD in the return bid when Ghostbear grabs it.

Male Meowstic: Hey.

Ghostbear: Not so fast, kitty cat. I'll be taking that with me.

Tsareena: No you won't, you monster! Trop Kick! (kicks Ghostbear from behind)

He drops the DVD and Emerald grabs it via Psychic. He puts the DVD inside the bin.

Male Meowstic: And mission complete.

Ursaring: Shadow Claw!

Lemon and Nightmare dodges Shadow Claw.

Raichu: Let's combine our attacks!

Midnight Lycanroc: Right!

Raichu: Thunder~!

Midnight Lycanroc: Fire~!

Together: PUNCH~!!!!! (punches Moon Crusher)

This causes Moon Crusher to be sent flying and crashes into Ghostbear.

Raichu: Now let's get outta here!

Everyone: (nods and leaves)

Ursaring: I lost... again...

Ghostbear: Not to worry, amigo. We shall have our revenge soon. For now, we must train until the time comes.

Ursaring: (nods)

|Lair|

Leafeon: So how was your mission?

Raph: Great! We were able to return the DVD and now you owe us some hugs!

Donnie: (as Raph, Leo, and Mikey are cheering "Hugs!") It's happening!

Splinter: Okay, you can have my hugs. You deserve it.

They all begin to hug Splinter.

Mikey: This was totally worth it!

Splinter: I love all my sons. All 5 of you.

Donnie: New York! What a town~...
