Dog Hand

Dog Hand (a.k.a. Raven's Daddy Dearest) is Teen Titans Go! Season 1, Episode 2b, and the fourth overall episode of the series.

Summary
Raven’s interdimensional demon-father, Trigon, cozies up to her four best friends in hopes of luring her over to the dark side and he gives the other four Titans a new special ability of their own: Starfire is now speaking just like an Earth teenager and using teenage slang, Beast Boy can now transform into anything he wants, Cyborg has a dog for a left hand, and Robin is totally buff and muscular.

Plot
The episode starts with the Titans noticing Raven has been acting more moody than usual. They ask her what was wrong and she answered that her interdimensional demon-father, Trigon, will visit her and the Titans. Then Trigon arrives, in his big, intimidating form but then shrinks down to a more accessible size and goes inside the Tower. Despite his reputation, he appears very friendly to the Titans and caring for his daughter. He tried to convince Raven to follow the family legacy. When failed to do so, he cozies up to her four best friends. He gives the other four Titans a new special ability of their own. Starfire is now speaking just like an Earth teenager and using teenage slang, Beast Boy can now transform into anything he wants, Cyborg has a dog's head for a left hand, and Robin is totally buff and muscular. Trigon also gave Silkie a wish, he turned Silkie into a beautiful butterfly.

The Titans started commenting to Raven, that she should be more like her father. She, to prove a point, accepted her father's request as her friends cheer her on. Raven started doing steps to become a demon, the first one was to take the children's nightmares, the second one to open an interdimensional portal, but when her father requested her to kill her friends (also suggesting that she make an example out of Beast Boy first), and tell them to join their alliance, and then kill them anyway. She denied, showing the other Titans why she doesn't want to be like her father. The Titans fought Trigon, with their new abilities, and defeated him. Raven sends Trigon through the interdimensional portal she created and closes it. The other Titans then sadly return to their normal selves. The episode ends with Raven saying, "He's gone for now, but he'll be back...probably for Thanksgiving.

Trivia

 * This episode was originally going to be called "Raven's Daddy Dearest"
 * Trigon owns a Pretty Pretty Pegasus kite, a show that Raven watches when no one is around.
 * The other Titans also watch it.
 * Unlike the original Teen Titans series, Cyborg's wish was to have a dog for a hand, where in the original series, he wanted to be fully human again.
 * This is Trigon's first appearance on the show.
 * Some of the episode was like "The New Teen Titans" Short called "Bad Dad".

Continuity

 * Beast Boy transforms into a green form of the exact SAME hatchback used by Ed in the previous episode, Driver's Ed.
 * Cyborg's state that Raven grants any wish is true when Raven grants Robin superpowers in Super Robin.

Errors

 * When Cyborg and Beast Boy are having flashbacks about childhood, Cyborg was shown to already been a robot as a baby but was actually involved in an accident. The accident was so bad he had to have half of his body replaced with mechanical parts. Beast Boy was bitten by a monkey as a baby and developed a life-long disease that gave him his current powers. However, this was probably done for a comedic effect.
 * When Trigon asks Raven when the last time she tormented a species for no reason was, Raven couldn't think of an answer. But at the beginning of the episode, she chucked Silkie out the Tower window.
 * The water on the floor when Beast Boy was a beanbag is gone in the next scene.
