Legendary Sandwich: Raven sends the others on a quest for the ingredients for a mystical sandwich so she can have the television to herself to surprisingly watch a seemingly girls cartoon entitled "Pretty Pretty Pegasus," After Raven assigns each Titan to retrieve one of the ingredients, Robin waits at the supermarket for an order of pretzel bread while the others have fierce run-ins with the Sandwich Guardians, who protect the other ingredients. Much to the Titans' dismay, however, the episode ends with Silkie eating the magical sandwich. Robin then reveals that he is also a fan of "Pretty Pretty Pegasus." Pie Bros: After Beast Boy and Cyborg's song about pie, Beast Boy takes a job at Mother Mae-Eye's pie shop to buy an expensive video game for Cyborg's birthday, but his job may cause him to miss the party and lose his best friend. The other Titans also discover that Raven's theory about Mother Mae-Eye baking people into her pies is true. |

Then, jealous of his clone's relationship with Beast Boy, he clones Beast Boy. Soon, there are too many clones to handle, and it is discovered that the Cyborg and Beast Boy who started the whole mess are clones themselves, created months ago by a lazy and now obese Cyborg and Beast Boy, who found the spell and used it to take a vacation, leaving their doubles behind. The Date: Robin is madly in love with Starfire, but she is going out with Speedy whom she sees has a lot of similarities to Robin. To do so, Robin kidnaps Speedy and poses as him to ruin the date and win over Starfire. However, Speedy breaks free and battles Robin (as Speedy) as Robin. |

Laundry Day: Following a fight with a Slime Monster, nobody wants to handle laundry day and the chores pile up while the team bickers which leads them to do a series of epic contests to see who will handle the laundry. Soon their dirty uniforms develop a mind of their own when the slime takes over and go on the offensive. In the end, Robin admits that it was his turn to do the laundry, and if they get out of this, he would do all the laundry for a year.
