Casey is pleased that he now can spend some time alone with her, much to Donnie's distaste.

April responds that she's almost a Kunoichi, but she still doesn't join the excursion, as Raph agrees with her: almost a Kunoichi. Unfortunately, Leo abruptly exempts her from the expedition, telling her that the expedition is for the ninjas only. Casey believes that Leo's idea is not the best, but April disagrees with Casey, remarking that she's tired of hanging out at the farmhouse and that the idea of camping appeals to her. Donatello agrees, stating that even Splinter underwent this knd of training, but Raphael voices displeasure. Leo tells his three brothers that they will spend three days in the forest meditating, concentrating on practiced awareness, and eating only what they can forage, commenting that a true ninja must become one with nature to master himself. Leo then arrives, voicing a realization that he had in the woods: he and his brothers have been so immersed in the use of technology and attending to personal matters that they've neglected to connect with nature. April prepares to do the same, having Casey hold a log in place with his hands for her to do so, but when she attempts to break the log with a kick, she unintentionally strikes Casey and sends him to the ground, much to Donnie's amusement. Meanwhile, at the farmhouse, Raph is training by splitting logs. The deer viciously kicks Leo many times before running away once again, leaving Leo alone. Leo watches as it's shrouded in light for a moment before it charges him and attacks.

As he looks up, he realizes that the deer is in front of him, staring him down. Leo jumps down from the tree, tweaking his leg in doing so. Leo is about to shoot the deer when it detects his presence and runs away. The episode begins with Leonardo, armed with a bow and arrow and up high in a tree, hunting a deer in the woods. Leo takes the Turtles to train in the woods in an advanced ninja ritual the Turtles must overcome their weaknesses and face their enemies to become a true ninja.
