* AnAesop: Two lessons are brought up by Starfire during the Titans' darkest hour:
** "Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it." Starfire recognizes that they're never going to defeat Mad Mod without Robin, not without realizing what American history has to teach them. This leads into the second moral of the episode.
** Good leadership isn't about vying for just your own ideas alone, but the culmination of many good ideas, just as the Declaration of Independence was the culmination of many a great men's desire for America to be free.

--> '''Starfire:''' Mad Mod was right. He said, "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it." We have failed to learn from the history Mad Mod is attempting to rewrite. Your democracy is not merely about voting. It is about compromise. Out of many different people, you make one country. Out of many flawed ideas, you create one that works.

* ConflictBall: For the sake of hammering home the [[{{Anvilicious}} Diplomacy Aesop]], the Titans argue over who should be the leader in the wake of Robin being taken out of commission. Up until this point, whenever Robin was unavailable to lead, [[NumberTwo Cyborg]] had always stepped up to the plate unquestioned.

* ConservationOfNinjutsu: When the Titans are attacked by a mere two Modbots, they struggle to even do damage to them and are forced to retreat when reinforcements arrive. By the climax everyone is tearing through dozens of them like tissue paper and are only overwhelmed through sheer numbers.
