The Titans battle a new villain, Control Freak, who uses a television remote control to bring inanimate objects to life. He is terrorizing a video rental store when the Teen Titans show up. He brings all sorts of objects to life: shelves holding videos available for rent, televisions, candy. Everything he brings to life is evil and attacks the group. The fight goes on for a while but it finally ends after Robin activates the sprinkler system in the store.
The Titans return to the Tower and watch a horror movie that Beast Boy rented: Wicked Scary. Everyone is frightened by it to one degree or another, except Raven. She insists that she was not scared by the movie. Later that night something invades Titans Tower and starts abducting the team members one by one. Raven is the last one left standing. She almost succumbs to the monsters but then gets angry and takes out the monsters.
It turns out that it was her own subconscious that was terrorizing the tower residents. When she refused to admit that she was scared, her insecurities came out of her head and started manifesting in the tangible world. I wasn't sure what the resolution would be but I can accept the one provided. Some of the monsters that abducted Raven's team members looked a little like critters from the episode that introduced Trigon in season 1.
Not a great episode but a pretty good one, in my book.
