"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

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.

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
