Slade contacts the Titans to unveil what seems to be his master plan: a Chronoton Detonator. However, it proves to be merely a trap, infecting the Titans with nanobots that will kill them at his command, in order to force Robin into being his apprentice.

"Sending trouble your way, leaving cryptic clues for you to unravel. I was testing you. For some time now I have been searching for.. an apprentice. Someone to follow in my footsteps. And Robin - I've chosen you. Congratulations." —Slade to Robin

Tropes:

• Catapult Nightmare: Robin wakes up from his nightmare like this.
• Evil Costume Switch: Subverted; Robin does not actually do the Face Heel Turn that his friends think he's doing, and he is forced to wear the costume by Slade.
• I Will Punish Your Friend for Your Failure: How Slade gets Robin to join him.
• Wham! Episode
