Rachel confirms that Kory is going to kill him, and Kory admits that it means the end of the world is on her. Rachel points out that she saw the vision Kory, and that in Gotham at the Lazarus Pit, she saw what Dick saw. She explains that Dick had the same vision Kory did, of the little girl and the red balloon.
At the cult temple, Sebastian kneels by the well of blood and shivers. He wonders what's happening to him, and Mayhem tells him that he's transitioning. She tells him that he started th3e process when he said the three words, and now he must complete the process by submersing himself in the well. Sebastian says that he doesn't want to, and he only came with Mayhem to stop her from killing his friends. Mayhem walks away and the Confessor tells her that they're running out of time, and they have to complete the ritual soon. Mayhem insists that Sebastian has to come to the Well of Blood willingly, and she has a plan to make sure that he will.
Dick and Gar join Tim and Jinx in the STAR main room, and Jinx reports that she's checked Conner and he's clean of the curse.

Dick insists they have to believe they can save Sebastian and keep the ritual from completing.

Dick confirms that the blood moon sets in two hours, and asks Conner what his idea is. Conner says that it's time to kill Mayhem and Sebastian, but Dick warns that Mayhem is on alert.

Despite that, Conner points out that even Bruce figured it out and killed Joker.

Sebastian tells Mayhem that he can't do it and won't, and Mayhem tells him that he knows that deep down he knows the life he's led isn't the one he's meant to be. She tells him that his past memories are too painful to remember, and asks if he's ready to see them.
Sebastian relives the memories of him being adopted as a young boy, but his guardian eventually gave his room to another girl who wasn't well, as well as the handheld video game she gave Sebastian as a welcome gift. Mayhem says that Sebastian was punished for being weak, and his strength should have been rewarded.
Dick finds Conner in the monitor room working Bernard to retask STAR satellites so they'll shine sunlight on the moon, removing the blood tint. When Dick objects to Conner calling him "Richard" because that's what Lex did, Conner tells him that Lex didn't really want to kill him Dick suggests that Conner take some time off, but Conner refuses to miss their chance. Dick talks privately to Bernard, who thinks the Lex side of Conner is taking over...and the satellite idea will work.
Dick tells Bernard to carry out the plan. As Bernard does so, Conner comes over and sarcastically asks Dick how his non-confrontational plan is going.

The teacher, Ross, assigns Sebastian to basic programming, saying he needs to work on his maturity level.
Mayhem tells Sebastian that Ross punished Sebastian for being smarter than him. The Confessor tells Mayhem that Conner's plan is taking away the blood red moon, and she should force Sebastian to enter the well. She refuses, saying that she won't force him.
Dick meets with a tech, Espenson, to work out the math behind successfully teleporting. While they work, Jinx tells Rachel that she can help Rachel find her powers, and figures Rachel can still feel them. Rachel admits that she can, and Jinx tells her that Rachel couldn't lose her powers unless a part of them wanted to lose them. Rachel admits that being normal feels good, and Jinx wonders if she wants her power back. When Rachel says that she does, Jinx cuts off a bit of her hair and has Rachel eat it to begin the restoration.
Bernard calls the team into the satellite room, and Conner impatiently shoves ones one of the techs out of the way to do the work himself. He completes the satellite orientation.

When Tim says that they might not have to with the moon back to normal, Bernard sighs in relief and they joke about Tim being underpowered compared to the other Titans. Tim warns that Bernard that eventually he'll have to fight, and Tim that's fine as long as it's "later",
Gar is having vision of a rock crumbling apart, and Kory asks him if he's okay. When she asks if he wants some company, Gar hugs her and says that he's been having the visions all day, then goes to get some coffee. A man tells him that someone wishes to speak to Gar, and animal roars echo in Gar's head. The man tells Gar that the animals also speak, and Gar will also see. The man grabs Gar by the arm and tells him that when tower splits in half, Gar should go to the Red. He tells Gar that all of life depends on Gar, 'then walks off. Gar goes after the man and grabs his shoulder, turning him around, and discovers that he's somehow someone else.
Back at STAR, Dick congratulates Conner on his work. Conner smugly says that he saved their asses, and Dick points out that Conner will only have a five-minute window to do the ritual before the moon sets. Conner figures the cultists won't figure it out, and Dick tells Conner that he's concerned that Conner is "growing" too fast. Conner responds that it's happening just in time, and the other Titans are useless. The other Titans listen as Conner tells Dick to take the win, and Dick says that they've all had to fight their dark sides. Conner insists that it's not his dark side, but the side that is looking out for him and he figures that's why Dick doesn't like it. Dick tells Conner that they'll be in the lab working out a way to bring Sebastian back, and they could use Conner's help
As the others leave, Conner asks a tech if anyone has tried to hack a LexCorp server in the last ten minutes. She confirms that there's been one hack from the Firecreek Dam, and Conner figures that's where Mayhem and the cult are
At the temple, Mayhem cuts her arm with a knife and tells Sebastian to drink it to temporarily ease his pain. He drinks it, and she tells him he has a final lesson to learn. He looks into the Well and remembers going on a date with his former girlfriend, Julie, at a restaurant. She gives him a handheld video game like the one he had as a child, and he tells her that they're relationship is over. Sebastian says that none of it makes sense, and he's not the destination but just a step along the way like always. Shocked, Julie leaves and Sebastian tells her not to bother calling him.

They pledge their eternal devotion, and Mayhem asks Sebastian if he knows what he is like his followers do. Sebastian says that he does.

Dick then privately thanks Jinx for helping them pay, and Jinx admits that hanging out with Dick has been more fun than she expected.
At the temple, Conner superspeeds in and grabs Mayhem by the throat. She tells him to kill her, and he burns through her skull with his heat vision.

Jinx has Rachel concentrate, and Kory powers Rachel. She puts a new mark on Rachel's fore head, and it glows. Rachel finds the temple with her mind, and Conner bound to a pillar. They finds the temple's location from what Rachel saw, and they can't teleport Conner out with Sebastian or their cells will intermingle, and if they do them separately than the cultists will notice. Kory tells Dick that she has a bad feeling about their mission because of the vision, but Dick doesn't believe it. She tells him about the little girl in her vision, and asks Dick why he had the same one but didn't tell her. Dick admits that he doesn't know, and Kory says that it's okay and walks off.
