Synopsis for "Family Lost"

Robin has a heart-to-heart conversation with Batman concerning his dual identity. He is frustrated over the fact that he has been lying to his father for the past several years about his actions as Robin. Batman gives him some advice and flies him to Titans Tower in San Francisco in the Batplane.

Meanwhile, Deathstroke and his daugther Rose are determined to make sure that Jericho remains dead. The only way they can do that howevever is by tracking down the Titan who imprisoned him, Raven. Deathstroke and Rose begin investigating Raven's trail – a trail that leads them to the mysterious Church of Blood.

At Titans Tower, the remainder of the team discuss Raven and analyze her history and the circumstances that ultimately brought her back to them.

Synopsis for "First Blood"

The new Brother Blood has captured Raven's new corporeal form and is holding hostage inside of his temple. He plans on using her as a means of increasing his own power.

Back at Titans Tower, Cassie learns that a strange epidemic has been affecting all of the fortunetellers in the Bay area. She wants the Titans to come with her to check it out. Robin unveils his very own Batmobile. Kid Flash begs him to let him test drive it and they go burning out of the parking garage. But Bart guns the car too quickly and they end up overturning near the hospital.

Meanwhile, Superboy is in his room doing homework when he notices that Krypto is acting agitated. Krypto flies outside and begins rooting through Starfire's garden. Superboy tries to get him to stop before Starfire finds out, but he is too late. She comes upon them and reads Superboy the riot act (in Tamaranian no doubt).

In Phoenix Arizona, Deathstroke and his daughter the Ravager break into one of Brother Blood’s temples. They are trying to find information concerning the disappearance of Jericho. Rose slaughters one of the priests.

At St. Luke's hospital, the other Titans visit Dr. Rovin (the surgeon who worked on Bart's kneecap). He shows them the ward where all of the comatose fortunetellers are convalescing. Beast Boy notices that a dark shroud similar to that used by Raven hangs above all of them. Simultaneously, all of the patients awakens and scream in unison, "Teen Titans!" There is a great expulsion of energy and the Titans are blown backwards.

Synopsis for "Raven Rising (Part I)"

The new Brother Blood has arisen. Having captured Raven, he seeks to marry her and from their union, a great leader will arise to lead the cult of Brother Blood forward towards a thousand years of peace.

All over San Francisco birds begin taking to the air and swirling about in a specific pattern. Beast Boy finds himself locked into a bird form and begins chanting, “Raven belongs to Brother Blood”. The other Titans begin experiencing feelings of intense negativity – specifically, anger towards their respective fathers. Robin, Wonder Girl and Kid Flash hurry back to Titans Tower.

When they arrive they find that the water surrounding the tower has turned into blood. The skeletal remains of Trigon rises from the red water and begins attacking the Titans. Starfire and Superboy let loose with a couple of star-bolts and some heat vision. Eventually, the zombified body collapses back into the bay.

Everyone realizes that all of these strange events are connected to Raven somehow. They begin following the path of the birds until they come to a large cave. Deep within the cave is the temple of the new Brother Blood. Brother Blood has Raven tied up to an alter and he has removed the gemstone that once laid upon her forehead. Unbeknownst to the Titans, Deathstroke and Ravager have found their way to this lair as well.

The Titans find Brother Blood’s sacrificial chambers. They dive into the cultists and begin fighting. Brother Blood latches onto Superboy and takes a bite out of his arm. From tasting Superboy's blood, he now possesses his strength. Brother Blood slams the floor with his fists, smashing it wide open. The Titans begin falling into a dark, gaping maw.

Synopsis for "Raven Rising (Part II)"

The Titans fall down into a dark precipice, deep below the bowels of the Church of Blood. Several of them are separated from one another and force their find their own way back to the altar chambers.

Robin and Starfire are scrounging to find their way when they come upon Deathstroke and Ravager. Deathstroke tells them that he is the only capable of navigating these labyrinth corridors. He’ll help get the Titans back to the surface if they agree to hand Raven over to them. Starfire seals the deal.

They eventually claw their way back up to Brother Blood's domain. Blood is engaging the remaining Titans. He has already tasted Superboy's strength and now tries to latch onto Cyborg. He bites through one of his 'veins' but is disgusted to learn that Cyborg's blood is actually synthetic oil.

Brother Blood is distracted enough that loses his hold on Beast Boy. Beast Boy turns back into Gar and rescues Raven. Raven tells him that without her 'chakra', her powers are greatly diminished. Deathstroke edges up close, ready to finish Raven off but suddenly Starfire blasts him in the back with a star bolt. She had no intention of handing Raven over to him. Deathstroke spins around ready to blast Starfire with his shotgun when suddenly Raven musters up the strength to open her soul self.

Deathstroke, Ravager and the Titans are swallowed up inside of Raven's soul and rematerialize on a bizarre dimensional plane. Above them, Joey Wilson – Jericho emerges larger than life declaring that he will avenge himself against his father, Deathstroke.

Synopsis for "Raven Rising (Part III)"

Deathstroke, Ravager and the Teen Titans are trapped within the dimensional confines of Raven's soul self. Jericho emerges and begins attacking them. He jumps from one body to the next in an effort to kill his father, Deathstroke. Suddenly, Raven expels the heroes and villains from her soul and everyone is dumped out into the middle of the forest. Brother Blood and his followers surround them. Blood summons a plague of Trigon-esque demons to begin attacking everyone who does not have true faith. Unfortunately, this also includes many of his own cultists.

Jericho tries to jump into Cyborg's electronic eye, but Vic traps him and downloads his essence onto a computer disk. For the time being, Jericho is no longer a threat.

The only way to stop him is to get Raven back up to full power. In order to do so, they must retrieve her chakra gem which Blood has eaten. Beast Boy transforms into a worm and goes into Blood’s mouth. He eventually grabs a hold of the gem and forces Blood to regurgitate him onto the ground.

With Raven's full strength returned, she spreads her soul self wide and engulfs Brother Blood and his followers. She transports them all into an infernal Hell dimension.

Deathstroke and Ravager take off and the Titans return to Titans Tower. Raven is back and she's one of the gang again (albeit bald).

Later, Deathstroke has a private conversation with Rose. He expresses his disappointment in her inability to kill Jericho. He goes on to say that she is nothing like him at all. To prove that she is certainly her father's daughter, Rose takes Deathstroke's sword and gouges her own eye out with it.
