The episode begins with a documentary-style introduction. April (Harmonic Form) is recording Raph as an interview.

April: Okay, Raph. So could you tell me about the Lair Games?

Raph: (clears throat) Right. You see, The Lair Games started 6 years ago when we were caught up by the water flipping challenge.

Midnight Lycanroc: Four brothers. Competing in 16 events for a chance to be the champion!

|Michelangelo|

Mikey: It's my favorite time of the year!

Ryuko (off-screen): And why is that?!

Tsareena: Because we get to show who's the best! However, there is one thing that always annoys us...

|Raphael|

Raphael: And this year was the craziest one yet.

|Main Area|

Splinter: Welcome to the Lair Olympics. As you know, every year we held this event to see who's the champion of the Lair...

Leo: As 5-time champion, you should all stand as he speaks.

Raph (Off-screen): Leonardo and Lemon... Those two are worse when it comes to the Lair Olympics!

Male Pyroar: They always have to be so arrogant just because they have been champion for 5 years. (sighs)

Leo: (holding a mic) When I say "King", you say "Leo", King...

Raichu: Leo!

[SILENCE]

Raichu: Oh come on, guys.

Male Meowstic: We are not saying it.

Raichu: Jeez, tough crowd.

Vaporeon: But we have something that would peak your interest.

Tsareena: Like what?

Raichu: If one of you three were to defeat us, we shall give you the biggest prize we have. Our room.

Leo: Aka the BEST room!

Veneranda: Whoa!

Josephina: Leonardo, are you insane?! You're willing to give up your room if they win?!

Raichu: Correction. IF one of them wins... Also, it'll be a 3-month stay and we'll move to your rooms depending on the winner.

Flareon: This wasn't about the room! It was about the fact that we can take something from Leo and Lemon! That room can wait 'cause we have a huge war going on.

Mikey: Man we were tired of losing! Especially Donnie.

[MONTAGE]

Tsareena: Even when we were just little, Donnie was always the last one. He always loses to everything. Poor thing... I feel so bad that we made him a fake gold medal to make him feel better.

Mikey: Yup! It was the least we can do.

|Splinter|

Splinter: Ladies and gentlemen, for our first event, it's the "Handstand Hill-Bomb!"

Ryuko: What is this about, Splins?!

Alolan Ninetales: Basically, they have to roll down this hill on their skateboards while hanging upside down. The first one to reach the bottom wins.

[DING]

Splinter: And they're off! Oh, it looks like someone has separated from the others. And it's-

Alolan Ninetales: Leo. Of course.

Splinter: (ripping paper) I knew I shouldn't bet on Red.

Raichu: (cheering) Way to go, Leo! I knew you would be first place! As usual! Woo~!

Leo: See? Just like before, I'm in first place. (grabs camera) I may be bold. But call me the hare because I smoked tortoises!

Raichu: Yeah you do! Rai Rai!

Splinter: In second is... Purple?!

Alolan Ninetales: What a turn of events!

Veneranda (cheerleading outfit): That was awesome, Grape! You got second!

Hillary (cheerleading outfit): Mighty impressive.

|Interview|

Raph: I was like, "Am I dreaming or did Donnie actually got second place?"

|Out of Interview|

Leo: Yes yes, that was very impressive of you, Donnie. You got second place. However, |Donnie: Please don't say it.| I got first place. (puts mic over Donnie's head)

Luxray: Whatever! Donnie, you did a great job! Sure it isn't first place but it's better than third place right?!

|Interview|

Donnie: When I got second place, I was so happy! Finally, I'm not losing! (starts dancing and singing) I got second~! I got second~! (makes horn sounds with his bust statue)

Mikey: I wasn't the best at that event. I got hurt but Flora and Faith healed me right up! We're glad to have doctors in the house!

|Out of Interview|

Alolan Ninetales: The next event is "Pipe Goop Chicken"!

Leo: My signature event. This goop separates the turtles from the tadpoles.

Donnie: That's not how...

Leo: (lies down) The rats from the mice. (Raph blows the tails away)

Donnie: Again not how it works...

Raichu: Leo's gonna win this like last year.

Male Meowstic: (recording) I'm not sure... The goop is so disgusting.

Midnight Lycanroc: Agree. Anything can happen.

Shaymin: Nonetheless, we'll be cheering them on!

Veneranda: Yeah! Good luck, everyone!

|Interview|

Raph: Oh~, Pudding is so cute in that cheerleading outfit! Why does every outfit she wears makes her more cuter than the last?!

|Out of Interview|

Alolan Ninetales: And~ begin! Pull the lever, Splinter!

Splinter: Right! (pulls lever)

Tsareena: And now it has began. Let's see who gets out first.

As the goop slowly falls, Raph and Mikey quickly gets out. Leaving Donnie and Leo as the last two standing.

Raichu: You can do it, Leo!

Male Meowstic: Don't move, Donnie!

Luxray: Or you'll be second place to Leo!

Raichu: (cheering) Go, Leo, go!

Despite his Pokemon's cheer, Leo steps out at the last minute.

Splinter: Purple wins!

Donnie: Yes! I won! (gets splattered in goop)

|Interview|

Raph: Donnie, the one who wears gloves before reading comic books, just go gooped!

Donnie: Literally, my victory didn't taste good. But figuratively, nom-nom nom nom nom.

Male Meowstic: Sure was. I really thought you were gonna step out. But you didn't.

Luxray: You surely stepped up your game this year!

Donnie: I just want to beat Leo and rub it in his face! The same way he did for the past 5 years!

Male Meowstic and Luxray: Right!

Mikey: Good thing Donnie took a quick shower! I don't want to see him walking around with goop in his face! I always thought he was a bit of a clean freak.

Dedenne: I thought the same thing...

Mikey: But this is when we found out that this has become war. (turns music volume up) Leo won't give up without a fight! Even when Donnie is fighting harder!

A montage of other events comes and goes.

Raph: I can fit a whole fist in my mouth! Wanna see?!

Ryuko and April: No! No thank you! No need for that!

Raph: (groans) Okay... I'll show it later.

Leo: So we're not gonna talk about the incident right?

April: Of course not! Tell me about the incident.

Angered, Leo and Lemon walk away. April coming on-screen chuckling.

Mikey: The incident... That was the worse thing ever! But I have a suspicion...

Ryuko: You believe that it was staged to be an accident?

The camera comes closer and Mikey nods.

Tsareena: We believe so.

|Out of Interview|

Kamala: This is interesting. I hope they can keep their balance.

Faith: I hope they don't get seriously hurt if they fall...

Kamala: You're such a worrywart. They'll be fine.

Leo starts to wobble as he tries to keep his balance.

Beartic: Keep your balance!

Grumpig: Don't hurt yourself.

Leo crashes into Donnie. Causing all the items to fall to the ground. Splinter examines the situation.

Splinter: Purple fell down first. Blue wins!

Mikey (voice): And then it happened. A pineapple landed right into Donnie's ankle. It wasn't pretty.

Flora: Oh my! Your ankle!

Leo: Are you okay?!

|Interview|

Leo: It was a total accident!

Raichu: There was no way he did it on purpose! Try balancing half a fridge on your chin and you'll see what we're talking about!

|Out of Interview|

Donnie: This was your fault, Leo! You will do anything to win!

Leo: It was an accident, Don. I didn't mean to do this. I lost my balance.

|Interview|

Donnie: I thought it was over... All that training... All that preparation was... (covers his eyes with his hands) Sorry... Could I have a moment please? (starts crying)

|Out of Interview|

Raph (voice): We thought this was over for Donnie... (on-screen) But with that out of the way, did you see his ankle?!

Midnight Lycanroc: It was all red and swollen!

Mikey: We all thought that ankle needs to be amputated!

Tsareena: It was a horrible sight... So horrible! I can't get that image out of my head!

|Medical Room|

Flora: (healing his ankle) Not to worry, Donnie. Just give me a few more minutes and it will be all healed up.

Donnie: No, I have to get back in the action!

Flora: You can't. Your ankle is seriously injured and I need to heal it. Healing magic takes a lot of patience and concentration.

Male Meowstic: She's right, Don. Just relax.

Donnie stands up and struggles to walk.

Male Meowstic: Donnie, don't!

Flora: Please be reasonable.

Donnie: I am being reasonable!

April: (enters room) No you aren't, D! Come on. Just let Flora heal you for a few more minutes.

Donnie: I can't! For 5 years, I have to lose to Leo. He's an arrogant know-it-all who thinks he's better than everyone else during the Lair Games. I will not lose to him again! Even with a broken bone I shall rise up again to take the blue one out...

Male Meowstic: I understand that... (jumps to Donnie's shoulder) But you don't have to prove to everyone that you can be the champion. Think about your wellbeing. Are you really gonna risk it all for a room?

April: Let alone Leo's room?!

Male Meowstic: You do have a choice here. Let Flora do her thing or go out there to beat Leo in his own game? No matter what you choose, you know that I will always be here for you and support your decision.

Donnie takes a moment to think before making up his mind.

Donnie: Emerald,... I'm willing to take the risk. I know I'm being stupid but I refuse to let Leo have another win this year.

April: You sure?

Donnie: Positive. Thanks but I won't be resting. However, after this is all over, I'll take you out somewhere tomorrow as a way to say I'm sorry.

She blushes a bit.

April: O...kay? You serious? (he nods) Well~, okay. I guess that's fine by me.

Flora: (sighs admirably) True love... (chuckles)

Male Meowstic: If that's what you want, then I shall support it. (starts glowing) And~ I'm glowing again. Just like before...

April: Meaning you're gonna get another upgrade?! Awesome!

Donnie: Then what are we waiting for?! Let's do this, Em!

Male Meowstic: Right.

Raph (voice): When we thought Leo has the win for the final event, you would never guess who shows up.

Donnie (Harmonic Form): Not so fast! You have one more contestant! (pushes the fog away) I am here, brother. Let's bowl.

Donnie is now human with light brown skin and bluish-purple eyes. His physique is the same as his turtle form but now has 5 fingers on both his hands and 5 toes on both of his feet. He has dark blue spiky wolf hairstyle with purple dye on the tip of the spikes. The bangs almost covering his left eye. Donnie wears a sleeveless dark purple hoodie with a white rose print on it and black jeans with purple rose prints on the outer-sides of it. He also wears purple-framed glasses, nails painted black, his goggles transforms into a dark purple baseball cap with black trimmings on it pointing to the right side of his head, dark purple sneakers, and a cross necklace around his neck. He gains Emerald's ears and gain a third tail.

|Interview|

Raph: When he appeared, I was like "Whaaaaa~!

Mikey: Whaaaaa~!

Raph: Aaaaaaaaa~!

Mikey: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaat~?!

|Out of Interview|

Leo: Donnie? You really look like a bad boy! Does that mean?!

Donnie: Correct, Nardo. I, Donatello, have gain a new upgrade. I hope you get used to it because I'm gonna use it in order to defeat you once and for all. (snaps his finger to summon a barrier)

Leo: Wait, you can't do that! That's against the..! (Splinter shushes him)

Donnie jumps down and starts rolling. He hits the mannequins and grabs the ledge of the second floor. All but one are knocked out.

Alolan Ninetales: It's a nine!

Leafeon: Which means Leo and Donnie are tied!

Raichu: Tied?!

Everyone: Tied?!

Leo: A tie?

|Interview|

Raph: We didn't know what to do...

Midnight Lycanroc: We never had a tie before. It was crazy!

Flareon: Like super crazy!

|Out of Interview|

Kamala summons the rulebook.

Kamala: According to the rules, if a tie were to occur, the bonus event will be chosen by Splinter.

Donnie and Leo: Wha?!

|Interview|

Leo: A choice by Splinter?! Who came up with that?!

Raichu: That's not fair!

Splinter: (laughing) I have been WAITING for this for a LONG time.

Alolan Ninetales: And this one is a personal favorite of ours. You'll just have to wait and see. Also, we have something up our sleeves.

April: And that is?

Splinter: You'll see.

|Out of Interview|

The garage door opens up.

Splinter: Ladies and gentlemen... Coming out of retirement... Is~ Spinter! (appears in Harmonic Form) You're not the only ones who can have Harmonic Evolution!

Splinter is now human with light skin and blue eyes. His physique is the same height as his human form but has the same body type as his rat form. However, he switches into a woman to match with Aurora's gender as female. She has mid thigh-length pale blue extremely wavy and flowy hair tied in a ponytail. Splinter wears a pale blue kimono with blue accents on it. The sleeves being off the shoulders to expose the upper-part of her chest. She also wears white sash around the kimono, barefoot, pale blue lips, light blue eyeshadow, small blue ice crystals around the ponytail, and hellebore flower on the right side of her head. Splinter gains Aurora's ears and tails.

Donnie and Leo: No way!

Mikey: How?!

|Interview|

Splinter: Surprising isn't it?! Kaminari gave me this bracelet long ago before the Turtles were created. I kept it in a safe place for many years until I can use it again for emergencies.

|Out of Interview|

Splinter: That's right, my sons! I can use Harmonic Evolution long before you ever did! Here's my event which I call "Slippery Wippery Woo!" Here are the rules. You two are the catchers and I'm the runner. Whoever catches my bow on my back and pull it fully will be the champion of the Lair Games. I hope you boys are ready for this! You are allow to use all evolution forms by the way.

Leo: Yes! Lemon?

Raichu: Right! Thunderbolt!

Leo: Harmonic Evolution! (transforms) Human Raichu! Let's do this!

Donnie: I'm gonna beat you, Leo.

Leo: No way. It'll be just like last year. The part when I win!

They begin charging at Splinter. Each one trying to grab and pull the sash. However, Splinter quickly evades their attempts.

Splinter: Double Team! (creates multiple copies of herself) See if you can find the real me! (disappears)

While Donnie stands still and closes his eyes for concentration, Leo is attacking the fake Splinters with various moves.

Leo: Where is the real Splinter?! (sparks coming out of his eyes) I'm getting really mad now!

Donnie: (thinking) He must be hiding somewhere... These are all clones. Obviously Nardo is not gonna pay attention to that. (ear twitched) Ah-ha. (turns while talking) Found you!

Splinter: My my! You found me?! That was fast! (jumps)

Donnie: You're not getting away this time! (jumps after her)

Leo: Huh? (turns) Now I got you! (jumps after her) You better give me that sash!

Splinter: Such determination. That's my sons all right. (disappears and reappears on the ground)

Leo: Eh?!

Donnie: Now's my chance! (quickly lands)

Splinter tries to disappear but however, Donnie grabs the sash and pulls it fully. Splinter uses Ice Beam to cover her body, except for her head, into ice.

Leo: No~! (lands in failure)

Leafeon: And the winner of the Lair Games is... Donatello.

[CHEERING]

Donnie: Yes! (starts dancing and singing) I'm the champion! I'm the champion! The champion of the Lair Games! Leo's a loser! Leo's a loser! His winning streak is now gone! I got first place! I got first place! I'm the luckiest turtle alive! (returns to normal form; picks up and spins Emerald around) I won! Yes I won! I'm the new champion of the Lair Games! Woo!

The scene shifts to Donnie and Emerald taking over Leo's room. Leo and Lemon grab their stuff before leaving to go to Donnie's room.

April: So? How does this feel to lose?

Leo: (smirks) The better question is: (looks at the camera) Did I really lose? (wins)

Later on, Leo and Lemon shows April of Splinter sleeping. She turns the camera to the air vent where Splinter's snoring can be heard. Making Donnie and his Pokemon very uncomfortable from the noise.

Raichu: We always get the last laugh. (winks with Leo at the same time)
