2	----
3
4	!!Tropes:
5	* AmbiguousSyntax: When the Shallas are pulling Raven's cloak.
6	--> '''Raven:''' Don't! Go away!\
7	'''Shallas:''' Don't go away! Don't go away! [[RuleOfThree Don't go away!]] Shalla!
8	* AnalogyBackfire: Oh, [[TheSmartGuy Cyborg]]...
9	--> '''Cyborg:''' This is not rocket science...okay, so it is rocket science, but it's not that hard!
10	* BuffySpeak: Beast Boy refers to the thermal coupler as a "cool round thingamajig" and a shiny donut upon finding it, and calls the configuration disk an "eyeball pizza thingy" to try to understand what Cyborg is saying. Cyborg himself is forced to refer to the thruster mechanism as the "red candy cane thingamawhosit" to get Beast Boy to get them out of a tense situation.
11	* CutawayGag:
12	--> '''Robin:''' You guys seen Raven?\
13	'''Starfire:''' I hope she is not suffering the atrocities so abundant on this planet.\
14	''(cut to Raven being massaged and pampered by the Shallas)''
15	* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Some have pointed out that the scene where Raven is being 'massaged' by the aliens briefly looks like something else, as we only see her face while she's groaning.
16	** They also appear to be humping her feet. Though it’s likely supposed to be a foot massage but Raven still has her shoes on.
17	* DroolHello: How they first find the alien thing that originally trashed the space station.
18	* FingerFraming: Beast Boy as he reassembles Cyborg.
19	* {{Foreshadowing}}: When Starfire and Robin reunite planetside, she spends a good several minutes walking or running to get away from him, hurdle obstacles, and shoot down enemies, despite how she spends the rest of the series in the air more than on the ground. This is an early indicator that she's so upset she ''can't'' fly.
20	* GrapesOfLuxury: Just part of the pampering Raven receives from the Shallas.
21	* GreenAroundTheGills: Raven gets slightly space-sick after the T-Ship is sent hurtling from the space station's explosion.
22	--> '''Robin''': Is everyone okay?
23	--> '''Raven''': Ugh...Define "Okay"?
24	* LostInTransmission: Robin says ''not'' to separate, but it was broken up by static, making everyone think he wanted them to separate.
25	* PoorCommunicationKills: This is the main source of all the problems in this episode. From Robin not properly explaining to Starfire what he thinks their relationship actually is, to Beast Boy being unable to understand Cyborg when putting him and the T-ship back together, and the aliens who don't understand what Raven is saying ''at all.''
26	** Interestingly, the start of the episode was an excellent example of how ''effective'' the team is when they work together with good communication, ''especially'' [[BattleCouple Robin and Starfire]]; their attacks were extremely coordinated and all relied upon one another.
27	* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Robin angrily says this about Starfire -- and Starfire, given their many ShipTease moments [[Recap/TeenTitansS1E2Sisters in]] [[Recap/TeenTitansS1E9Masks several]] [[Recap/TeenTitansS2E6DateWithDestiny previous]] [[Recap/TeenTitansS3E3Betrothed episodes]], is ''extremely'' offended. It causes a serious social rift between the two of them for most of the episode.
28	* ShipTease: Robin and Starfire have a moment, which led to a lot of problems...but also some cute moments ensue when they finally do work it out.
29	* ShoutOut: During the montage of Beast Boy trying to repair Cyborg, one of the forms that Cyborg takes resembles ''Anime/GiantRobo'', with Beast Boy dressed up as Daisaku Kusama.
30	* SteppingStonesInTheSky: Robin uses this method to grab Starfire when they fell off a collapsing cliff (courtesy of the alien monster) and Starfire momentarily lose her ability to fly.
31	* StickySituation: Robin gets attacked by a gunk-oozing alien creature the moment he jettisons from the ship, where said creature's sticky ooze gives Robin a hard time. Notably, his attempts at throwing one of his weaponized discs had his weapon sticking to his hand.
32	* SuperPersistentPredator: That alien with the sonic voice ''just won't quit''.
33	* SymbolicDistance: Robin and Starfire have a falling out after Robin says Starfire [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend isn't his girlfriend]] to a teasing Cyborg. While navigating through the planet the two are stranded on, they go through a cloudy mountain pass that ends with the two on different ends, highlighting the distance between them.
34	* TechnoBabble: Cyborg gets some at the beginning while fixing the space station. Later this causes problems when Beast Boy has to put him back together again.
35	* ThisAintRocketSurgery:
36	--> '''Cyborg:''' This is not rocket science... okay, so it is rocket science, but it's not that hard!
