The episode opens with a very poetic monologue by Terra. The way Terra's hair obsures one of her eyes is reminscent of Slade. She talks about what she has done. The music is great here and throughout the episode.
The city is now controlled by Slade and Terra. The Titans are no where to be found. Terra starts seeing things in the fog that has enshrouded the city. Shadowy figures attack her. The figures that attack are the Titans, whom she though she had killed. They work together and prove to be too much for her. She runs away. They are attacked by Slade's robot army plus a hybrid of Cinder Block, Plasmus, and Overload. Beast Boy takes off looking for Terra while the others continue to fight Slade's robot army.
Terra decides that she's had enough but Slade isn't through with her. The armor he gave her allows him to control her body. This is really creepy, both the thought of it and the way Slade talks about it and about Terra. Beast Boy finds Slade and Terra. Slade forces Terra to fight him and then the Titans when they show up. Slade pushes her too far and she starts fighting back. She gets so angry a volcano starts to form under the city.
Slade seems to be killed. His mask is shown being consumed by lava. The Titans have to leave but Terra stays to deal with the volcano. It isn't clear exactly what she does but she saves the city and seems to have been turned to stone. I was really shocked by that ending. I was expecting a happier ending. It brought a tear (or two) to my eye. The Judas Contract it ain't but they really did seem to pull out all the stops on this season finale.
