* SeriesFauxnale: Unlike previous season finales, this episode doesn't end on a cliffhanger, and leaves very few unresolved plot points. The Titans and their allies all get their happy endings, and even Red Hood is provided closure. Scarecrow is neutralized permanently, with only the distant threat of Ra's al Ghul being mentioned by Vee. The series was renewed for a fourth season, nevertheless.

Jason reconciles with Bruce and chooses to leave Gotham to atone for what he has done as Red Hood. Finally, Dick welcomes Tim to the team and is implied to train him as the new Robin.
