Bebop and Rocksteady are seen climbing the Tower to Channel 6 News's building during the middle of a Thunderstorm. As they are climbing the tower, Rocksteady is seen carrying Krang's newest creation: The Mesmerizer. A device that will hypnotically enslave everyone in New York City to serve Krang and the Shredder. The two are successful in setting up the Mesmerizer, and shortly after the people at Channel 6 News (including April, Irma, Vernon, Burne, and an Anchorman) are under the control of the Mesmerizer, much to the confusion of the Turtles and Splinter, whom they, (as well as Bebop and Rocksteady,) are unaffected by the Mesmerizer's Ray due to their mutant nature. They are quick to determine that Shredder and Krang are behind the News Crew's behavior.
