Summary
When someone steals Robin's perfect sandwich, he sets out to recover his stolen sandwich.

Plot
The episode starts as Robin opens his huge secret safe underground, and discovers that his legendary sandwich is missing, leading him to yell in anger. But the Titans didn't know anything of it when asked by Robin for he claims that it isn't just a legendary sandwich, but a perfect one after improving his sandwich making skills and traveling through several ancient Korean civilizations for masters in sandwich constructions. But he wasn't satisfied after every bite as he was hunted by the knowledge that he could do better than that by making the perfect sandwich with extra ingredients and sealing it in the refrigerator.

Still the Titans don't know as they wish him luck for finding his sandwich once they leave the living room. Robin starts to hack into Cyborg's private data logs to see any evidence of Cyborg stealing his sandwich, instead he sees him wearing Robin's pants and impressing himself in the mirror, leaving Robin in disgust. He then tranquilizes Starfire while she was making a castle of game cards, captured and connected her into the lying detector machine. Starfire told everything she did before the sandwich was stolen and it was all true, but when Robin asked her for a final question if she loves him. She said yes in a awkward pose revealed to be a lie as she didn't wish to hurt Robin's feelings and refused his offers for helping her which that also shown to be a truth much to Robin's sadness.

Beast Boy was about to eat a taco while Raven is reading the newspaper, until Robin arrives to prevent him from eating it to contaminate a possible crime scene. Beast Boy claims that he didn't eat Robin's sandwich for he is a vegetarian. Robin orders Raven to transport him into Beast Boy's stomach. Raven does so, but doesn't shrink Robin first, so that he bulges out of Beast Boy's stomach and leads him to spit Robin out. The Titans started to get annoyed by Robin's situation, mostly when Cyborg mentioned his attempts to discover the truths from them and also wondering what he also did to Raven, as he simply asked Raven if she stole the sandwich, and replying no, but Robin doesn't seem to give up with his sandwich up-section and letting it go, for he figures that his future self might stole it since only himself can get pass through the safe while the Titans are thinking it is totally insane. Robin orders them to go to the time machine.

The Titans arrived in the future, as Robin discovers Nightwing going shopping for some groceries and he goes after him. Starfire and Raven catches up while Cyborg with Beast Boy are left in the time machine to guard it. Nightwing comes home after Robin where he captures him and asking about his stolen sandwich while Nightwing seems to be impressed to see his younger self visiting him. Robin tries to make him talk by hurting himself thinking his future self might get hurt too which it doesn't seem to affect Nightwing. Starfire tells Robin to stop hurting himself over the sandwich upsetion making Nightwing to remember it and lecture Robin that he gave up on it. Still Robin believes that he's lying for he thinks he's hiding it in Nightwing's refrigerator but when he opens it, there wasn't at all but just only sadness according to Raven. As they leave Nightwing's home, Cyborg and Beast Boy decide to prank call their future selves but when it was Beast Boy's turn it revealed to be a unknown bad situation happened his future self causing him to tear. The other Titans arrive back in the time machine with still no success to their quest as Robin starts again to think that Nightwing did steal his sandwich and float it away.

They use the teleporter as they've been transported into a unknown alien planet for the missing sandwich may have gained life after escaping Nightwing's refrigerator in order to discover the secrets of the universes according to Robin's theory which that also didn't even made sense said by the Titans when they were starting to get annoyed by him even more until The Perfect Sandwich rises up and introduces it to the Titans. The Perfect Sandwich's meditation has found the life's greatest secret claiming that the sandwich is the supreme form of life and all other life forms must be destroyed. The Titans shocked after his explanation are engaging battle against The Perfect Sandwich which they are all being defeated except for Robin who manages to eat it since only the creator can face it. In the end, Robin ate the perfect sandwich and claimed it to be perfect.

Trivia

 * This episode aired one year after "The Left Leg".
 * It is revealed that Robin's pass-code is " 7-2-2-5-*-4-*-1-5-6-3-5-10-6-0 ".
 * In this episode Cyborg's optical-sensor vision is colored, while it usually has a red hue.
 * This episode reveals that Starfire does not love Robin after all, disregard of not wanting to hurt his feelings.
 * This conflicts with "Be Mine", as Starfire states she loves him as a "brother." It could be possible she was referring to romantically.
 * In "Mouth Hole", Starfire's statement is again conflicted, as it was revealed Starfire does have romantic feelings for Robin, hinting she may have been lying in this episode out of shyness. Another possibility is her feelings have simply changed since then, and she found Robin's whistling to be attractive.
 * Pictures of The Joker and Bane's faces can be seen on a map during Robin's flashback.
 * This is Nightwing's second appearance overall, with his first being in "Staring at the Future". This is also his first appearance in season 2.
 * In this episode, the recurring puppet show seems to have been modified to realistically depict it's characters in space when Nightwing is watching the show in space.
 * One good reason why Nightwing didn't feel the injuries Robin sustained was probably because the injuries were minor and healed sometime.

Continuity

 * This episode is similar to the Teen Titans Go! comic, "Food Fright."
 * Both involve a Titans' sandwich being stolen and tries to find out who.
 * This is the second episode to center around a sandwich, the first was "Legendary Sandwich."
 * This is the second episode to involve time travel, the first one being "Staring at the Future". Coincidentally both feature Nightwing.
 * Robin's skill as a sandwich maker is confirmed a second time by his creation of the Perfect Sandwich. His ability to make delicious sandwiches was first mention in Legendary Sandwich. ("Legendary Sandwich")
 * This episode also explains how Robin acquired his sandwich making skills seen in both episodes.
 * This is the second episode where Robin's eyes are seen. ("Driver's Ed")
 * Unlike last time where his eyes were two dots, his eyes were depicted as normal this time.
 * Robin's fragile mental state is shown for the fifth time. ("Staff Meeting", "Sidekick", "Uncle Jokes", "Puppets, Whaaaaat?")
 * The room where Robin securely located his perfect sandwich is the Titan Robot's storage room.
 * This is the third time Starfire lies, which she previously did in "Ghostboy" and "Starliar".
 * This is the first time where she doesn't do it on Beast Boy's request.
 * The way Beast Boy's mouth opens when he spits Robin out, is similar to how Raven spat out the Titans in "Meatball Party".
 * Much like when Robin annoyed all of the Titans in "Dude Relax", once again Raven is the only one who he doesn't do anything to.
 * The puppet show reappears for a third time from both "Staff Meeting" and "Money Grandma."
 * The running animation of Robin from "The Date" and "Meatball Party" was reused again when Robin was fighting his sandwich.
 * This is the second time the black eagle has appeared. The first was "Brian".
 * This marks the second time Robin has been right about something completely illogical, and no one else believed him.
 * It also occurs in "Parasite", "Smile Bones", and "Hose Water".
 * Raven's once again attacks using her soul self in giant raven form, which she also did in the previous episode "Caramel Apples".
 * At the end of the episode "Yearbook Madness", little "whereabouts" are given for each of the titans. Beast Boy's states that he eventually dies. This could explain his weird tearful reaction after trying to prank call his future self.
 * Or maybe Beast Boy died because he got squished by sandwich, Starfire popped and Raven no water and food.

Errors

 * Beast Boy indicated he wouldn't eat Robin's sandwiches since he was a vegetarian, even though he ate one in "Legendary Sandwich".
 * Nightwing should have been able to know everything that Robin would do as he is a future version of himself.
 * However, it could be possible that Nightwing does not know what Robin would do because, in Nightwing's past, he was able to eat the original sandwich. He came back from the future to steal Robin's, creating a new timeline in which present Robin has not yet eaten the sandwich, and so Robin's future self would not be the same Nightwing.


 * Batgirl and Robin's Son are both notably missing in Nightwing's future life in this episode. This may be due to the fact that in this episode's canon, Cyborg and Beast Boy were not absent from the Teen Titans for 30 years staring at a slice of pizza, unlike in "Staring at the Future".
 * Or it could be possible Nightwing has not met Batgirl yet at this time


 * In the scene where Nightwing was talking, Robin glitch out with black then white.

Running Gags

 * Characters telling Robin to "let it go", but with Robin refusing every time.
 * Beast Boy being surprised or denying that the Titans have a piece of technology (like a time machine and teleporter), but being proven wrong each time.
