Divide and Conquer is the 194th and last episode of the 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon series. This episode of the show was written by Jeffrey Scott. It originally aired on November 2, 1996, on CBS.
This episode starts with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ("TMNT") fighting against an alien. Suddenly, the alien tears off Leonardo's belt buckle and disappears.
The next scene shows the alien at a cantina on a strange planet. At the Cantina, Dregg is holding a court, where he guarantees power and wealth for anyone that "survives" 90 seconds against the TMNT.
Inside the Turtle Van, the TMNT are discussing over what has been going on that week. Michaelangelo finds a transmitter in his shell, but before he can toss it out the window another alien appears and attacks the TMNT. The alien grabs Donatello's bo and disappears.
Back at the strange planet, Mung feels Dregg is going crazy with his plans to destroy the Turtles and forgetting their original goal: to conquer Earth. Dregg then tricks the five aliens that fought the TMNT and absorbs their energy and power into his own body. Now that Dregg has stolen the powers of the five other aliens, he believes that he is ready to attack the TMNT himself.
Dregg attacks the TMNT, and when the TMNT can't stop him, they retreat to discuss what to do. In the meantime, Dregg decides to kidnaps April O'Neil.
Donatello recalls Krang's old robot, and that the TMNT should need it now. They go through the dimensional portal to Dimension X and take it from the ruins of the Technodrome.
When the TMNT meet Dregg again, Donatello causes Krangs old robot to make move and grab Dregg in a martial arts hold. Donatello and Michelangelo dive out of Krang's old robot just as it shrinks down, while the robot holds Dregg. The shrinking robot crushes Dregg down to normal size. Dregg is weakened from the fight, and the five other aliens "de-morph" and "emerge" from Dregg's body. Donatello drains the energy from Dregg and it leaves Dregg weak and frightened.
The TMNT then grab Dregg and throw him right through the dimensional portal on a one-way-ride to Dimension X. A second later the dimensional portal closes up and Dregg is gone forever!
Splinter tells the TMNT that now, they are full "Ninja Turtles".
