"Homecoming - Part 1" is the fifty-third episode of the Teen Titans series and the first episode of the Season 5.

Plot

When Beast Boy's former team The Doom Patrol is in trouble, the Titans must embark on a daring mission to save them. Beast Boy explains that this can only mean one thing: the Doom Patrol's greatest foes are back. The Brotherhood of Evil has returned. The Titans manage to find and free the Doom Patrol, largely due to Beast Boy's participation, but his willingness to save his friends has enabled the Brotherhood of Evil to claim "the most devastating power in the cosmos", endangering the entire planet, and possibly beyond, which Mento blames on Beast Boy for his disobedience.

A few years later, Beast Boy was sent a distress signal from Mento. After receiving it, Beast Boy went to rescue his old teammates.

Trivia

Throughout the episode, Beast Boy refers to the Doom Patrol by their given names rather than hero names.
- This episode implies most of Beast Boy's personality and antics are an act to mask his sadness with the Doom Patrol.

Continuity

This is one of the few episodes where Beast Boy shows a serious side.
This episode marks the first appearance of the Doom Patrol members: Mento, Elasti-Girl, Negative Man and Robot Man.
This episode also marks the first appearance of the Season 5 main villains, The Brotherhood of Evil: The Brain and Monsieur Mallah
This episode shows us the first time (chronologically) Beast Boy transformed into a Tyrannosaurus.

Cultural references

The Doom Patrol theme music is a homage to 1960s spy/action movies – which embodies the tone of the Doom Patrol comic book of the 1960s.

Goofs

When the Doom Patrol were introduced in the beginning of the flashback, Negative Man's belt had no buckle.
After Beast Boy answered Cyborg's question by telling him the messenger probe has found him, his chin accidentally turned into the same color as his human skin.
- Also, his right arm turned grey instead of black.
While the locator pod was scanning Beast Boy to make sure it's him, the four Titans aren't in the kitchen behind him.

-==Quotes==
-'''Mento''': You don't understand. I read the Brain's mind, Beast Boy. He has a new quantum generator, and it works. The most devastating power in the cosmos is now in the hands of a mad man, because you couldn't follow orders. ''(Pauses)'' We've got a planet to save. Doom Patrol, move out.
-'''Cyborg''': ''(In reference to the locator pod)'' So, uh, why isn't it attacking?<br />'''Beast Boy''': Because it's for me.<br />'''Mento''': ''(On locator pod)'' Beast Boy, this locator pod has found you and you know what it means.<br />'''Beast Boy''': The Doom Patrol's in trouble.<br />'''Mento''': ''(On locator pod)'' Our last location was in the Amazon jungle. You should begin your search there. Beast Boy, you know what must be done. I'm counting on you.<br />'''Robin''': What could have happened to them?<br />'''Beast Boy''': It's the Brotherhood of Evil. After we stopped their blackhole machine years ago, they went underground. Mento must have finally found them.
+== Characters ==
-'''Starfire''': This patrol of doom, why do you never speak of them?<br />'''Cyborg''': Seriously, the Doom Patrol are legends. You got to have some good stories.<br />'''Beast Boy''': It was something I did once. I'm a Titan now. You're moving too slow! ''(Morphs into bird, flies off)''<br />'''Raven''': He's acting strange, even for Beast Boy.
