"Breakfast Cheese" is ''[http://teen-titans-go.wikia.com/wiki/Teen_Titans_Go! Teen Titans Go!]'' Season 1, Episode 19b, and the 38th overall episode of the series.

Summary
Starfire convinces the other reluctant Titans to try defeating their enemies using kindness and compassion instead of violence and aggression.

Plot
The Titans arrive to stop the H.I.V.E. Five's latest evil scheme: loitering, and the team finds them utterly detestable. During the battle (which the villains were totally unprepared for), Starfire notices how violent she and her teammates have become. She watches as they mindlessly beat the villains senseless, even when they beg for mercy, becomes very upset. The battle ends with Cyborg blasting missiles in all of the villains' faces.

After the battle, the Titans return to the Tower to eat and compliment their fighting strategies. Starfire begins to criticize their violent behavior, but the others pay no mind and viciously eat some of their pizza. She has no choice but to use her puppy-dog-eyes to beg them to listen to her. Beast Boy, Raven, and Cyborg begin to fall under her spell, but Robin refuses to be hypnotized, and escapes the room.

Later that day, Starfire walks in on a fight between Cyborg and Beast Boy after the latter cheated to win their video game. Starfire suggests that they try a new game, called "Puppy Tummy Tickles". The duo decides that the new game seems stupid, until they try it and fall in love with it.

Back in the living room, Raven is trying to meditate. Starfire suggests that she not put her fingers together, because it is aggressive on the skin cells. When Raven tries her suggestion, she finds herself being able to unlock her true potential, and after a gigantic bright light, she appears in a new white cloak with light surrounding her.

In the bathroom, Robin is putting some more hair gel in his hair, when he spots a spider. Robin springs into action and rapidly tries to kill it, but Starfire enters and begs him to stop. After long exposure to the puppy-dog-eyes, Robin finally decides to be nice. He picks up the spider, which in turn bites him, causing his hand and face to swell up. Robin begins to scream that he only has seconds to live before the venomous bite becomes fatal.

When the venom reaches his brain, it does not kill him, but instead takes away his lust for violence, making him a kind, compassionate person. He along with Starfire begin to relax outside the tower with the other Titans. Suddenly, the crime alert is activated, and the Titans become excited to try their new ideas in battle.

Back in Jump City, the H.I.V.E. Five is loitering next to a no-loitering sign. The Titans appear, and the villains want revenge for the abusive beatings they suffered earlier. The Titans begin to forgive the villains for being evil, but have no success when the villains start to violently attack them. After they are pinned down, Gizmo fires missiles in all of their faces as an act of revenge.

When they recover, Robin decides that they have no choice but to use their weapons. He walks right up to them and whips out his staff. He swings his staff at Jinx's face, but stops, and hands her some flowers out of the end of the stick. Jinx becomes very flattered and begins to hug and smell the flowers. Robin hands Gizmo a rose, who begins to smell it with happiness. Cyborg starts to shoot stuffed animals at See-More and Billy Numerous, who become very touched. Beast Boy transforms into a bunny and begins to cuddle with Mammoth. Raven lights up the world with beautiful rainbow colors.

Starfire begins to sing a song (Peace and Love) about love and compassion, and breakfast cheese. Soon everyone happily joins in unison, as friends.

Trivia

 * At first glance it looks like Beast Boy is eating meat on his pizza, but upon closer inspection it has no toppings at all.
 * This episode reveals that Raven has purple nails.
 * This is the first time that Raven transforms into White Raven. Her white garb in "Matched" does not count, as it was a different outfit that served as her wedding gown.
 * This is the third time Starfire and Raven are shown singing. First time for the H.I.V.E. Five.
 * Every Titan objected to Starfire's idea of peace except Raven. This is a reference to the peaceful dimension, Azarath, that Raven grew up in.
 * In the original series' comic line, Starfire could not sing in English but rather in a louder, more harsh version in Tamaranean.
 * Based on the colors and hourglass markings on it's abdomen, the spider might be a black widow spider.
 * When Raven turns into White Raven, the ashes on the floor form a peace sign.
 * Ironically, Starfire is known for being particularly violent in nature, primarily in the original DC comics which she really only shows her kind nature primarily towards her friends and civilians. Since Tamaraneans are a loving people but also warriors, violence is more than acceptable with them.
 * The Titans' first attempts in avoiding Starfire's "puppy-dog look" refer back to a few instances in the original series' comic line, in which they know and avoid looking at her eyes when she wants someone to do something with her.
 * The fourth wall is broken when the Robin's swelled up face gets crushed by the transition.

Continuity

 * It is officially confirmed from "Super Robin" and "Girl's Night Out" to this episode that Starfire is very effective with her puppy-dog eyes.
 * The first video game that Cyborg and Beast Boy played together was the video game previously in "Double Trouble", "Burger vs. Burrito" and "Power Moves."
 * When Beast Boy cheats at the video game said above, he throws a bag of tofu chips in front of Cyborg to confuse him. Tofu chips in the series were first seen in "Double Trouble."
 * Raven's shooting rainbows in the end could represent all the essences of her Emoticlones: her normal magic is black; while her pure form can shoot white beams; and her Rage can cast red forms as in "Colors of Raven." It is thus possible that, having achieved her true potential earlier, she can call upon the powers of all of her emotion spectrum in Nevermore.
 * Robin is seen applying his green hair gel, as revealed back in "Starfire the Terrible." What is more, his slicked-back hairstyle is a near-mirror image of his older self as Nightwing from the original series.
 * When Beast Boy and Cyborg were playing Invasion of the Bubble Bots 2, the same music was playing from when Robin and Speedy were fighting in "The Date." Also, the music from "Starfire the Terrible" called "The Moon Represents My Heart" plays when Beast Boy and Cyborg begin to enjoy the puppy video game Starfire gives them.

Errors

 * Robin incorrectly referred to the spider that bit him as an insect, but it's actually an arachnid.

Running Gags

 * Robin's swelled up face getting stuck in places.
