COMMISSIONED and IDEA BY: Yours truly

I was so enamored by the 2012 iteration of the turtles and this particular dynamic that I wanted something like this to happen in season 4 where the power-enhancing crystal April was using was going to inevitably take control. It didn't quite turn out that way (I mean, poor Donnie was atomized for a few minutes), but this still lead to their bond deepening.
