Terra returns to Titans Tower -- and this time, she's ready to join the team. But after what happened the last time they saw her, the Titans aren't sure that's such a good idea -- and Raven is positive that it's not. But Robin reminds her that everyone deserves a second chance. And when Slade unveils his latest diabolical plot, Terra gets hers. Can Terra win the Titans' trust and become a full-fledged member of the team? Or will she again lead our heroes into disaster?

Producer Glen Murakami on Terra's costume change: "It’s things like that – that after awhile everything just seems to blend together. We were going through things the other day, and I had forgotten that Terra had that first costume [in the comic books]. And we actually have her making those costume changes. We didn’t copy it, but it’s interesting that in the back of my mind I thought “Oh, when we first see her, she won’t have this costume… and then she’ll get this costume [when she joins].” Things like that.. I don’t know if I remembered that, or that it’s just so subconscious now."

Producer David Slack on Ashley Johnson as Terra: "Terra is a fascinating character. She was really difficult but really fun to write. And we got great casting. Ashley Johnson - oh my God - she brought that character to life. That's something I should mention. We have a great cast because we have the best voice director in the business. Andrea Romano is just phenomenal at what she does and always guides us interesting, smart casting choices of really talented actors that are also really nice people. And all the good scripts and great drawings in world would mean nothing without her talent and theirs. You go to Andrea's house, and she has a table that's just filled with Emmys. I can't give her enough respect. She's nice and personable, but is also so good at what she does. "

Raven is very suspicious of Terra, as seen in NEW TEEN TITANS #28 [1983] and TALES OF THE TEEN TITANS #41 [1984]. Her empathic powers sensed something troubling about Terra - as seen in this episode. Terra adopts a new costume when she joins the team in NEW TEEN TITANS #30 [1983].
