After a Holiday (and sanity) break, it's time for more Titans. Will they turn it around or...just get darker? Let's see...
Back together, the group needs to question the man behind the machinations so far. He will only talk to Raven, who learns more about her powers.
The group needs to break into an Asylum to rescue Raven's Mother. There's no way that this will...
...of course.
Can they escape? Can they do so with their sanity? Will Raven be corrupted and call Trigon (who they refuse to name for some reason)?

A dark, dark Episode. I like that they are together. I hate that they keep going back to 'we can't get along.' We get it- they are brooding and angsty! To be fair, it also comes down to them just not waiting five minutes to listen to the other. Wait- is that better?!? The whole Plot hinges upon Robin being a bit of a dick and Raven leaving after talking to Beast Boy for like 2 minutes. Should I even point out that they call an Uber to a Safehouse? Should I even point out that there's no way that Robin wouldn't know about this? Should I even ask why Beast Boy didn't try to case the place out as a Tiger? Hell, they don't case it out at all! They just wander right up to the gate and things go wrong. There's a learning curve for new Heroes- granted-, but you guys are really pushing it! Also kudos for continuing to find excuses for Starfire to be out at night. Back to questions now. How does the group know about Starfire's powers? They know about the incident with the Nuclear Family, but that's it. They know nothing about what kind of power limit she may have or her weakness at night, but they somehow exploit both! This one goes right to torture- both psychological and physical. It's almost kind of 'funny sad' seeing people compare this to the Mad Mod Episode of Teen Titans. Yeah, he hypnotized them and that's it. He sure as hell wasn't carving Starfire open to see if she could regenerate! Everyone goes to dark places in this one and I'm not a fan. They seriously need to complete this 'always darkest before the dawn' crap soon! With 4 Episodes left to go, I'm not holding out too much hope. If you're wondering why this one is so dark, take a look at the Director's IMDB page to see one of their recent works...
Next time, everyone needs a break from the violence. Will we get all of the Plot instead? See you then...
