Robin tries to encourage the other Titans to think for themselves, but when he stops giving them orders, they immediately start following someone else.
- Advanced Tech 2000: Cyborg's cookie tells him to beat up Robin. What the former did is that he whipped out the Shablamo 3000 and went to town.
- Beat Them at Their Own Game: After Brother Blood manages to manipulate the other Titans using fortune cookies, Robin realizes how weak-minded the average person is and decides to fight back using similar pseudoscience, convincing his friends that they should fight back using palm reading, astrology, and a Magic 8-Ball.
- Easily Swayed Population: All it takes for the Titans to unquestioningly obey someone else, whether it's Brother Blood or a mere fortune cookie, is for Robin to stop ordering them around.
- Mind-Control Device: The episode starts with Brother Blood trying to use a multitude of complex devices in order to brainwash the Titans, but the Titans resist them all...up until Robin is disabled for a single second, at which point the other Titans immediately fall under his influence and would have been completely under his control if he didn't have stomach problems and have to escape to a bathroom.
- Misfortune Cookie: After finding themselves unable to choose what to eat without Robin, the other Titans end up following him into a Chinese restaurant and ordering exactly what he does, getting a bucket full of fortune cookies with their meals that they decide to obey in place of Robin's orders. This goes oddly well until they start receiving "fortunes" directly ordering them to do things like building metal cages and beat up Robin, at which point it turns out that Brother Blood is writing them.
