Plot
The episode starts out with the Titans working quickly to stop an asteroid from coming to earth. Robin assigns each a special job leaving Beast Boy will the last and easiest job. He tells Beast Boy to hold a vial of water and Beast boy happily grabs it and begins dancing. It then accidentally falls out of his hand and breaks. Cyborg, Starfire and Raven comfort him causing Beast Boy to question why they're acting like that. They tell him that he isn't smart and he says he'll prove them wrong.

First, he tries to open a door but Raven opens it from the other side and gives him a black eye. Another time he tries to open a book but again tries to push instead of pull. After doing these things, he decides that if he'll use a spell to make himself smarter. So he asks Raven if her spell-book has a spell to make people smarter and if there are more words than pictures or vice versa. She responds and Beast Boy nonchalantly flies away with Silkie to find the book. He finds it and opens it and finds the right spell. He holds the book above his head chants the words. He ends up putting the spell on Silkie instead of him, which turns Silkie turns into a genius.

Beast Boy walks out of his room believing he became smarter and tests himself with a toy to see if it works. But he realizes it didn't and goes back to the spell-book. He decides that if he can't be smarter, he will just make the titans dumber. So he casts a spell and goes to see if the spell worked.He watches Robin and Cyborg try to catch a bird but run into the window. Amazed that the spell worked Beast Boy and the other Titans start dancing while Silkie tries to work out how to stop the asteroid.

The next day the other Titans can not figure out how to make cereal but Beast Boy shows them how to do it, amazed on how he did it they start to say that he is the smartest. Meanwhile, Silkie is still trying to build something to stop the asteroid with only twelve minutes left.

Later Beast Boy was trying to help Raven with a toy, but Robin keeps saying that he can't find his shoe and that foot is in a bucket. Meanwhile Silkie is trying to stop the asteroid. Later Raven puts her cloak on backwards, but Beast Boy fixes it, so when the asteroid is getting closer to Jump City, all the Titans depend on Beast Boy to fix it, and after he figures out that he can't do it he regrets what he did. So he puts a banana in his ear to become smarter, and then says "OK we know that the asteroid is coming at us with a little thing called gravity right, and gravity is controlled by the ocean, and that means if we can kill the ocean then then the asteroid will go back home." And then the Titans jump into the ocean.

In the ocean they start randomly punching things, meanwhile it is revealed the Silkie was building a robot that looks like him to fight the asteroid. When Silkie finally destroys the asteroid, but the Titans think they have succeeded and say Beast Boy saved them all, and he says that he still regrets being smarter. And he asked Raven where her spell book was but she thought that he meant to spell book, but she gives up.

Later that day the Titans and Beast Boy still have difficulty making cereal and Beast Boy reveals he cast the same spell he used on himself on the team. Asked him why he didn't just cast a spell to make them smarter, Beast Boy says he doesn't know why. The Titans continue to blunder about the kitchen, then get amazed by a butterfly and try to catch it, but they just hit a window again.
