Teen Titans Season 5 Episode 13

Apparently, Beast Boy can track down certain things that Raven can't sense and Cyborg can't track.

Considering that Slade was able to send another robot double of himself after Beast Boy, it could be a sign that Slade is on the road back into power.

The official Teen Titans site labels the monsters fought by the Titans in this episode as "The Thing."

Since this is the last episode, this means we never find out who Slade is.

Slade has appreared one way or another in every season.

This is the third episode that refers to "Aftershock (2)." The first was "Haunted," and the second was "Birthmark."

All the seasons had a total of 13 episodes each. Including this season.

When Beast Boy tells the Titans of Terra's return, Robin says, "Sometimes you want to see things that aren't really there." This was a reference to "Haunted," where he was seeing Slade, but Slade wasn't really there.

Cyborg and Raven suggest that Terra's freedom may have resulted from an earthquake, or the effects of the entrapment in the rock may have just worn off.

A few moments before Terra knocks her water over, she clenches her fists when Beast Boy tells her something and the ice in her cup tightens together, a lot like the rocks in season 2. Terra would clench her fists to bring lots of little rocks together with her powers.

We learn that Raven never really wanted Beast Boy around during a battle.

The reason that Terra is completely different from the comic book, is because, the producers didn't want to go that deep, just for Terra's return. They never do the same thing with a comic book with a series.

Villain(s): Un-identified monster & Sladebot.

This is the only season where Raven never turned into "White Raven."

Following "Titans Together," the only villains now existing in the Teen Titans world are:

Slade
Brother Blood
Blackfire
Dr. Light
Red X

Beast Boy is the only Titan to have any interaction with the new Terra.

In the comic book series, Terra actually did come back to life. Something called the Time Trapper brought her back to life and injected false memories into her mind. Terra, or Terra II, thought that she was an orphan girl from the future injected with the Real Terra's DNA and had reconstructive surgery to look like her. Then when she and her Team, the Team Titans (not teen, Team) decided to go on a mission to go 10 years into the past to prevent a notorious villain from being born, they get stranded there and it is revealed that Terra II along with another member of the group is really from this timeline. Terra II had no memories of her past, and she unearthed Terra's coffin (she originally was buried in a coffin like any other person) to find it empty. To find out once and for all if she was or wasn't the real Terra-which she didn't want to be-she had the Marvokian Scientists conduct DNA experiments. Her brother, Geo-Force, read her the results and mercifully told her that they read negative. However, they were positive. She was indeed the real Terra. Geo-Force was currently the only one who knew that information.

So there are 3 big differences in how Terra was brought back to life from how it was done in the comic book series.

1) There was no indication that the Time Trapper was involved.
2) She was not a part of a Team of Superheroes who all thought they were from the future.
3) They never reveal that she has family, let alone a brother.

Signs pointing to Terra knowing who she is:

1) When Terra asks Beast Boy why he would want to be friends with someone who did what she did in season 2, he says he doesn't care what she did in the past. During this she is clenching her fists.
2) She continuously looks at her reflection again and again, much like in "Titan Rising" and "Betrayal."
3) She says that the girl he remembers is only a memory, much like what Slade says in "Betrayal" about her being an illusion.

Every time Beast Boy hits on a memory Terra doesn't want to remember, the animators show a red street light or a street light changing from green to red. This was used in the anime Kare Kano frequently to convey certain emotions without words. Green for positive gains and red for "road blocks." In fact, the entire episode had a feeling like Kare Kano as if the writers and storyboarders spent way too much time watching this anime before tackling the episode.

Ron Perlman reprises his role as Slade's robot from Season 4.

Things that have changed:

1) All the Titans' favorite places have disappeared.
2) There is a new, unrecognizable enemy.
3) Terra has returned but changed in a way Beast Boy can't deal with.

Terra's room was kept exactly the way it was when she left.

Apparently, Cyborg and Raven were working on cures for Terra, but all of the spells and diagnostics they tried just weren't enough.

Terra has chosen to lead a new life now, not remembering her powers, Beast Boy, or her days as a Titan.

Beast Boy uses the same joke about brainfreeze he used in "Titans Together," however, Terra liked it.

Running Gags: 1) Beast Boy trying to get Terra to remember who he is. 2) Everyone telling him to be quiet in the library.

Almost all of the Titans' favorite hangouts and other stores, including the movie store, have been shut down and destroyed. The pizza parlor, however, apparently remains intact.

Slade returns, but it is only a robot supposedly controlled by him.

Beast Boy visits the desert area, where Terra fought the scorpion, from "Terra," the amusement park and diner from "Betrayal," and the volcanic chamber where Terra became stone, from "Aftershock (2)" in this episode -- all areas involving Terra.

The monster that the Titans fight can shift its form depending on what it touches.

Starfire is the only Titan without a season arcs, which every other Titan has:

Robin - Season 1
Beast Boy/Terra - Season 2
Cyborg - Season 3
Raven - Season 4
Beast Boy (again) - Season 5

This episode marks the return of Terra. Her last appearance was in "Aftershock (2)."

Premiered during its Miguzi timeslot on Monday, Jan. 16th as a "New to the 'Guz" episode.

Beast Boy episode.

This episode marks the end of the fifth season and the series.
