** CurbStompCushion: During the fight in the tower, Cyborg managed to strip Gizmo of his spider legs when the latter attempted to strike him head-on, forcing him to take a more stealthy approach.

Added DiffLines:

* LaserGuidedKarma: Each of the HIVE suffer a degree of karma during the final fight after what they previously put the Titans though.
** Gizmo literally disarmed Cyborg and messed around with his system. Cyborg manages to take control of the arm remotely to activate the Tower's security on HIVE and drag Gizmo away. Later, when Gizmo tries to hack Cyborg again, Robin electrocutes Gizmo with an EMP that ruins ''his'' tech.
** Jinx caused all sorts of trouble with her hexes, and specifically targeted Beast Boy during the second fight. She ends up getting a taste of her own medicine in the final fight when Raven drags her away with her soul-self, with her dropping to her knees unnerved by the experience, and Beast Boy ends up outsmarting her during the final fight by jumping on her face and blinding her, causing her to blast the area around her until it collapses on herself.
** Mammoth manages to overpower the Titans in the first two fights, like a typical bully. During the final fight though, he runs scared when it becomes clear he is no longer the strongest and is ganged up on by all the Titans after the rest of his team is dealt with, until Robin sends him flying and he pins down Jinx and Gizmo under his own weight.

BigBad Slade sets his new henchmen, a trio of HIVE graduates, on the Titans as their final exam. They defeat the team with a well-thought out strategy and kick them out of their own house, but the Titans manage to defeat them in a rematch.

* FakeArmDisarm: In the first fight for Titans Tower, Gizmo removes Cyborg's right arm. Cyborg would later gain radio control over the arm to help the Titans get back in, but in the moment it's a setback.
--> '''Cyborg''': In case you haven't noticed, I just became left handed!

* AnachronicOrder: Aired as the series premiere in North America, possibly because ''[[{{Recap/TeenTitansS1E1DivideAndConquer}} Divide and Conquer]]'' didn't actually name Slade onscreen, whereas this does. Aside from Greg Cipes' voice having cracked, though, it's not readily apparent. It does make the mention of Slade a little weird, since Divide and Conquer which aired later clearly hints at Slade but doesn't name him.

Added DiffLines:

* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Mammoth acts as the brute force for HIVE and is presented as TheJuggernaut for most of the episode. But in the final battle of the episode he runs for his life screaming when confronted by Beast Boy in his T-Rex form. He might be tough, but he knows he isn't tough enough to face that.


Added DiffLines:

* YouHaveFailedMe: The HIVE Headmistress apologizes to Slade for her three graduates failing to defeat the Titans, and assures him such failures are not tolerated and once the three of them are retrieved from the authorizes they will be "strictly disciplined". However, the three are spared from whatever fate was in store for them when Slade revealed he never intended for them to actually defeat the Titans. He just wanted them to deliver a message to the Titans, mentioning his name to Robin, and since they had accomplished that he considers their mission a success.
