Summary
The gang agrees to take on the responsibility of babysitting Silkie, the baby mutant killer moth, but they end up losing the slimy little fellow who ends up in Mexico, having an exciting telenovella adventure.

Plot
The episode starts with all of the Teen Titans  (except for Starfire) sitting in the living room. Beast Boy has a large plate of cookies in front of him, he's sitting by Raven who is using her powers to play with a rubix cube. Cyborg is seated on her other side, texting on the phone. Robin is sitting to the right of Beast Boy, reading a Batman comic book.

Beast Boy eats a cookie and drinks real milk forming a milk moustache. Robin, never losing an oportunity for a competition goads him into making milk moustaches. Cyborg and Raven join in and it becomes in all out friendly war of the staches. Starfire shows up interrupting their game, asking the Titans if they will take care of Silkie while she is away. They promise to do an excellent job and Starfire leaves. As they make more milk moustaches, Beast Boy irritates Cyborg by cheating using a 10 year old soy milk carton, causing him to throw old soy milk at Beast Boy. It misses and hits a button opening a door that Silkie goes out of. A few minutes later the Titans realize Silkie is gone and go to look for him. Silkie is meanwhile outside and ends up in Mexico.

He meets a Mexican woman named Sonia and they hang out. This upsets her ex-fiancé, Carlos. The Titans cannot find Silkie and worry a lot. Beast Boy says he can change into a Silkie and hang with Starfire until they find the real Silkie. Raven says that won't work because he'd be missing and Silkie will be green. Cyborg finds what looks like a dead Silkie, causing the Titans to scream it horror, but it was just a shed, hollow skin of it. Cyborg then tells them that the real Silkie is still out there. Back in Mexico, Silkie hangs out more with Sonia and Carlos comes and kidnaps them.

They are in a cell when Silkie gets out and makes it past the guards. Then he unknowingly defeats Carlos in battle and saves Sonia. He then leaves her, making her sad. Back at the Tower, Starfire comes back wanting to see Silkie. They try to fool her,saying he was sleeping, but Robin says that they lost Silkie. Starfire gets furious at the Titans, and starts throwing Starbolts at them until Silkie comes home by himself. She is happy to see him and asks her friends if they want to see the images of her journey. The episode ends with the four hurt Titans groaning in pain on the floor.

Errors
