How Long Is Forever
Starfire chases Warp, a villain from the future, through a wormhole. She exits the wormhole 20 years in the future. Everything changed after she entered the wormhole. The other Titans are older and have split up. The implication is that after losing Starfire they drifted apart and have lives separate lives ever since.
This is my favorite part of the episode, seeing how the other Titans aged. Cyborg's power battery no longer functions and he is stuck in Titans Tower. Beast Boy is balding and a side show freak: the one man zoo. Raven just wants to be left alone. Robin has become Nightwing and has a secret lair similar to the Bat Cave, or maybe it is the Bat Cave.
Starfire's return helps to rally the Titans. They encounter and battle Warp, although it is a little murky if this Warp is the same age as the one that the younger Titans encountered at the beginning of the episode. He seems older but how he got there and what he is doing there is unclear.
They defeat Warp. Cyborg is able to quickly modify some of his time traveling technology and create a wormhole to the past. Starfire goes through the wormhole and returns seconds after she left. She tells them about what happened and insists that they all celebrate Blorthog with her, a Tamaranian celebration of friendship.
Not a bad episode, but not a great one either. There was no real character moment that moved me. I don't recall any stories of this sort from the New Teen Titans comic book. If anything it resembled Days of Future, an X-Men story.
