As per your request, here is the description for the show Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987) season 4 episode 23, titled "Donatello Makes Time."

The episode begins with the Turtles trying to defeat Shredder and Krang as they attempt to steal a time-slip engine from a museum exhibit. Donatello realizes that they need a device to send them back in time to stop Shredder and Krang from ever stealing the time-slip engine. He gets to work creating a time-traveling device but needs a special crystal that only exists in the past.

Donatello travels back in time and ends up in medieval Europe where he meets a witch named Renet who needs his help to retrieve a powerful amulet from an evil wizard. The amulet has the power to control time and could potentially be used by Shredder and Krang.

Donatello and Renet team up and go on a mission to defeat the wizard and get the amulet. They are successful, but when they return to the present, they realize that they have inadvertently created a time paradox that has erased the Turtles from existence.

Donatello and Renet travel back in time to fix the paradox, but they are unable to retrieve the crystal they need to power the time-traveling device. Instead, they improvise by using a sundial and a magnifying glass to create the necessary energy to power the device.

Donatello and Renet return to the present but find that they are too late. Shredder and Krang have already used the time-slip engine to travel back in time and change history, making themselves rulers of the world.

The Turtles and Renet team up to stop Shredder and Krang from using their newfound power to change history. They engage in a fierce battle, but ultimately, the Turtles are able to defeat Shredder and Krang and return history to its rightful course.

In the end, Donatello realizes that time travel is a dangerous and unpredictable tool that should not be used lightly. He destroys the time-traveling device, and the Turtles go back to their normal lives, happy to have stopped Shredder and Krang once again.

Overall, "Donatello Makes Time" is an exciting and action-packed episode that explores the dangers and consequences of time travel. Through Donatello's journey, viewers are reminded of the importance of responsibility and the potential consequences of our actions.
