Brother Blood shocks Cyborg, Raven, Starfire and Beast Boy with a huge laser gun that erases their memories of being a Teen Titan, giving Robin his big opportunity: he can now shape them into the respectable, hard-working team he always dreamed of.
This episode contains examples of:
- Arson Murder And Life Saving: Subverted. The Titans tell Robin that they may not respect him and they may make fun of him... When Robin expects a complimentary "but", Starfire tells him there's no "but" and that's all they got to say.
- Chekhov's Gun: Robin's titular baby-sized hands end up bringing back the Teen Titans' memories.
- Dude, Where's My Respect?: Robin as far as the other Titans showing no respect for his leadership is concerned.
- Miles Gloriosus: To keep the Titans to respect him, Robin makes up fake stories about how he single-handed formed the Teen Titans and how great he is.
- Mythology Gag: Robin’s flashback to the first team meeting has everyone looking like their original appearances from the comics.
- Won't Take "Yes" for an Answer: Brother Blood complimenting the Titans earnestly is interpreted by them as a sarcastic string of insults.
