Summary
It's Beast Boy's birthday! But will the other Titans remember?

Plot
The episode begins with Beast Boy waking up and turning to his calendar to see that it is his birthday, making him excited to see what his Titan friends have in store for his birthday i.e. sing him "Happy Birthday" and watch him blow out candles and unwrap presents. However, when he enters the living room the Titans seem to be doing their own thing and appear unaware of what Beast Boy is talking about when he says it's his special day. At first he thinks they're just pretending to not remember and that they'll surprise him any minute, he even leaves and re-enters the room to see if they'll set up for the party while he's away. Eventually the others get annoyed and tell him that they're trying to relax and enjoy their day. Shortly after there is a crime alert about a herd of elephants rampaging through the city, Beast Boy thinking that this is part of their surprise set-up for his birthday party decides to stay behind a wait for the others while they fight off the elephants. The fight ends up taking the four Titans almost all day and Beast Boy finally gets the assumption that his friends really did forget his birthday. This leads Beast Boy to have his own birthday party with some stuffed animals in his room. At this point Cyborg, Starfire, and Robin ask him what he's doing and he replies by saying that he's celebrating his birthday since his real friends forgot. The three then admit that they didn't forget Beast Boy's birthday, but rather didn't see the point in all the hype of celebrating one's birthday, saying that it's pointless to sing a birthday song, eat a cake with saliva and candle wax on it, and pretend to care about someone opening presents.

Raven, having hearing this while passing Beast Boy's room, gets upset at the other Titans for not telling her sooner. Causing Beast Boy to say that she's the only one who cares for him which she immediately shuts down, stating that it's dangerous to not do the three rituals for one's birthday and immediately tries to get the others to sing the "Happy Birthday" song to Beast Boy before it hits midnight. Robin states that they can't due to not being able to afford it. Midnight strikes and Beast Boy's aging gets thrown out of balance, ranging from an infant, a middle-aged man, and an elderly person. Raven tells the others that in order to re-correct his aging they need to celebrate his birthday in the literal center of the universe before a sparkler dies out. The Titans start by singing Beast Boy a birthday song that they make up as they go along. Second, they watch and take a picture of him blowing out candles on a cake, which baby Beast Boy drools on in the process, elder Beast Boy also finishes off the trick candle before falling asleep. Lastly, the Titans need to pretend to care when Beast Boy opens his present, something elder Beast Boy takes his time with to save the paper, and Raven tells the others to at least smile awkwardly for him as he gets and puts on his gift, a fisherman t-shirt. All this fixes Beast Boy's aging and restores him to his normal age, just before the sparkler dies out. The Titans then escape the center of the universe before it collapses, Beast Boy even retrieves the cake and Raven helps him escape the portal just before it closes up.

Back at the Tower in Beast Boy's room Raven apologizes for forgetting Beast Boy's birthday and the others apologize for not celebrating it and not making it a big deal sooner. The episode ends with the Titans eating the cake, aware of the drool, with the other four in disgust and Beast Boy being the only one enjoying it.

Trivia

 * This is the first time we find out when Beast Boy's birthday is.
 * Seeing as how Beast Boy's first appearance in the comic books, Doom Patrol #99, was in November 1965 it's most likely this episode is meant to commemorate Beast Boy's 50th anniversary.
 * Raven is the only Titan who actually forgot Beast Boy's birthday.
 * It has been shown that the Titans usually don't celebrate birthdays.
 * It is expensive to sing the Happy Birthday song according to Robin. This is because the Happy Birthday song was one of the most well known items not to be in the public domain. It had been copyrighted ever since it was created in 1893. However, on September 22, 2015 the song finally entered the public domain, after a federal judge ruled that the copyright claim was invalid. This episode was written before this court ruling, causing the joke to be slightly outdated.
 * Beast Boy is the second Titan to have his birthday announced in the series. The first being Cyborg in "Pie Bros".
 * Starfire is shown to really like babies.
 * It's possible that this could be a joint Beast Boy and Raven episode seeing as how the first half is about Beast Boy and him trying to get the others to celebrate his birthday and the second half is about Raven trying to get the others to participate in the birthday rituals in order to save Beast Boy's aging.
 * This is the sixth episode to be released before its official air date. The other episodes were "The HIVE Five", "The Return of Slade", "More of the Same", "Scary Figure Dance", and "Animals, It's Just a Word!"

Continuity

 * Beast Boy's middle aged appearance from Robin's imaginary thought returns from "I See You".
 * Beast Boy's old man appearance returns for the fourth time. ("Super Robin", "Salty Codgers", "More of the Same").
 * In his old man form, Beast Boy tries to tell the rest of the Titans where he got his watch from, a story which he previously explained to Raven in "Salty Codgers".
 * This is the second time in Season 3 Raven personally saved Beast Boy's life. The first time was in "I'm the Sauce" when she formed a shield around him, this time she grabbed him to help escape the center of the universe's portal.

Running Gags

 * The Titans doing usual birthday activities.
 * Robin stopping the Titans from singing "Happy Birthday," claiming that they can't afford it.
