Lex Luthor meets with archeologist May Bennett at a ritual site, but Bennett is dismissed as Luthor asks her to never disclose their contract. After leaving Gotham City, the Titans are invited to S.T.A.R. Labs in Metropolis, where the team receive new equipment courtesy of Bruce Wayne, while Conner is expected to meet with Superman. Bernard Fitzmartin informs Conner that Superman couldn't appear due to unexpected duties involving a collapsing star in another galaxy. Afterwards, Conner is contacted by Luthor, who wishes to meet him personally. Kory goes to LexCorp Tower and confronts Luthor, while also planting a bug to allow Dick and Tim to recover information from Luthor's laptop. Luthor dispatches several ninjas to fight Dick and Tim, but they manage to fend them off. Later, Dick and Kory reveal to Conner that Luthor is dying due to kryptonite poisoning, and he wishes for Conner to take over as the new president of LexCorp. Conner goes to meet Luthor and agrees to stay with him in order to learn more about him, but Luthor begins to cough up blood and dies as a magic serpent crawls out of his body.

Meanwhile, Sanger struggles with his life as his business deal is rejected, and his mother passes away. Rachel's vision leads the team to a civilian household, where they rescue a young girl named Aria Murphy who was trapped in a nightmare. Their pursuit leads them to an abandoned slaughterhouse, where Rachel confronts the raven-masked killer, revealed to be Luthor's personal physician Arthur Holmwood, who sets himself on fire while the team rescues Aria's father and several other men whose blood was being drained. Afterwards, Conner is released from detention as his innocence is proven. Later, Sanger begins to hear chanting while sitting alone. As the Titans leave Metropolis, they are confronted by Bennett who wields a magical staff as she begins to cause havoc.

The team finds an entrance to the asylum basement, and discovers several recordings, detailing Bennett's life as a member of the cult. They learn that in 1998, Bennett gave birth to a baby boy who was rejected, as he was not the prophesied child; the baby is implied to be Sanger, as Bennett called out to her son using this name. Bennett summons an army of undead zombies to attack the Titans, including their former foe Deathstroke, but they manage to escape, though Conner is wounded by Zombie Deathstroke in the process of escaping.

After getting an unheard response from Trigon, Bennett sacrifices Gina to further her plot. When they find the serpent inside Conner's body, Gar proposes that he turn himself into a virus and infiltrate Conner's body, in order to replicate and infect the serpent. He succeeds in doing so, forcing the serpent to escape Conner's body, while Tim kills it with his staff, saving Bernard in the process. The two of them later share a kiss, then extract Gar from Conner's blood and restore him to normal. Meanwhile, Rachel and Kory take Sanger to an Elko Diner in Metropolis, where they meet with Zadira. After concealing themselves, Zadira warns Kory of Sanger's imminent destiny as a threat to the world, and implores her to kill him. Kory refuses, prompting Zadira to leave.

Meanwhile, Gar continues to experience visions, and meets a mysterious man who tells him to "go to the Red", when he sees "the tower split".

Gar awakens in a cavern on Mount Kilimanjaro, where he is greeted by Dominic Mnbawe, a man who possesses beast-like powers.

Dominic and Gar assault the lab and kill the soldiers guarding it, as well as a surgeon operating on a dying ape, carrying the Plague. The assault turns out to be a vision from the past shown by the Red, an interdimensional force that connects to all animal life across the multiverse. Dominic reveals to Gar that the lab operated under the supervision of Dr. Niles Caulder, the leader of the Doom Patrol, who used the Plague to find a sole survivor, in his quest for immortality. Dominic also reveals that Gar is the destined guardian of the Red, and pleads with him to abandon the Titans and accept his duties.

Meanwhile, Kory is unwillingly taken to Doom Manor by the Red and is trapped with Gar and the Doom Patrol. After spending time with them, Kory makes peace with her failure to kill Sanger and resolves to stop him. Infusing his power into LexCorp's system, Sanger publishes his game, Abraxis, to the world, which connects its users to him through a ritual, allowing him to feed on their energy. With the Doom Patrol's help, Kory and Gar return to S.T.A.R. Labs, where they learn that Bernard has fallen into a coma after interacting with Abraxis.
