Synopsis
With no signs of Robin since Slade's "Chronoton Detonator" turned out to be a fake, the four remaining Teen Titans search the city for their missing leader. But their search is cut short when the Titan signal alerts them to a new villain in town. And when they arrive on the scene at a High-Tech defense lab, they are shocked to discover that this new villain is none other than Robin himself (wearing a sinister new Slade insignia villain costume.) Unaware that Robin is only serving Slade to save his friends from the Nanoscopic Probes inside them, the bewildered Titans think Robin has gone over to the other side. And it's Titan versus Titan as our unwilling new villain goes up against our reluctant heroes. Can Robin fight his friends without hurting them? Will he find a way to stop Slade without triggering the probes? Will the Titans find out what's wrong in time to help? Is this really the end of the Teen Titans?

Reviews
Apprentice, Part Two
The conclsuion of probably the best episode of Teen Titans, this episode lives up to the episode that preceded it and then some. Forced to the dark side, and the bewildered team caught in the middle, Robin is faced with an impossible moral dilemma.
there are several factors that make this episode the classic it has become. Ron Perlman's voice work as Slade is superb, complteing the picutre of a superemely confident adversary who is blood-chilling in his utter calm. The writing is tight and sparse, with the writers choosing their words well. The set-piece battle on the roof of Wayne Enterprises is both spectacular and illumianting. And Robin's final solution to his problem indicates the risks he is willing to take, and the price he is willing to pay, for loyalty.
The potential of the series is fully realized with this episode.
