Ep 4. Adventures in Turtle-Sitting

In the sixth season of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles that aired in 1992, the fourth episode name is 'Adventures in Turtle-Sitting.' This episode revolves around the turtles' love for ice hockey and their struggle to maintain it.

The story begins with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles watching an ice hockey game in a local rink. Michelangelo secretly wishes to be a part of the game, but the team doesn't allow mutants to play with them. The turtles' friend, Irma, who also works for Channel 6 news, is reporting the event. Irma's boss, Burne Thompson, arrives at the game with his newborn baby boy, which he entrusts to the turtles.

The turtles have never taken care of a baby before, and chaos ensues as they struggle to handle the task. They soon realize that they won't be able to take care of the baby and play ice hockey at the same time. Meanwhile, a group of aliens lands in the city and starts kidnapping people. The turtles suspect that the aliens might have an evil plan. But with the baby to take care of, they don't have enough time to prepare a plan to stop them.

The turtles' responsibility towards the baby, coupled with their love for ice hockey, creates a tricky situation for them. They come up with a strategy to take turns babysitting the child while the others play hockey. However, taking care of a baby is not as easy as they thought. The baby has been crying continuously, and the turtles don't know what to do.

Eventually, they start using their ninja skills to calm the baby down. Michaelangelo uses his nunchucks to spin the baby's cradle, which finally puts him to sleep. Donatello uses his gadgets to play music and entertain the baby. Furthermore, the turtles even take the baby with them to the ice hockey rink, which leads to a comical and memorable scene.

Meanwhile, the aliens are continuing with their plan, and the turtles decide that they can't ignore the situation any longer. They come up with a plan to stop the aliens and protect the citizens of the city. However, with the baby to take care of, the turtles are afraid to encounter the aliens. But after some brainstorming, Leonardo comes up with an idea, and they manage to defeat the aliens.

The episode ends with Burne Thompson receiving his son back, safe and sound and thanking the turtles for taking care of him. The turtles, meanwhile, continue with their ice hockey game, feeling content that they managed to complete the mission while babysitting at the same time.

Adventures in Turtle-Sitting is an episode that showcases the turtles' softer, more compassionate side.
