Plot
The episode starts out with Cyborg, Beast Boy and Robin are supposedly dancing in a club with Aqualad as the DJ. But soon enough it is shown that this is all in their imaginations and in reality they are in an alley. The boys tell themselves that they don't need money to have a good time and Beast Boy suggests they go to the 'snack bar'. Which is actually a homeless man handing them food out of the dumpster. But it seems they are more than content with the food, and eat it all. Robin asks for Cyborg to hand him a 'wall napkin' (which is actually a flyer) and realizes that Silkie is on it. Beast Boy shows that them a snake has written the 'Missing' sign because there are 'ssss' on it, but Robin insits that it is the symbol for money. The 3 titans are excited at the thought of money and quickly decide to give Silkie back to Killer Moth because it is "the right thing to do".

The scene changes and Starfire is reading Silkie a story about a ruthless alien princess who slays all her enemies. When Silkie begins to fall asleep and the story is done, Starfire feeds the mutant larve some zorkaberries. After his feeding, Starfire gives him a bath and starts to lick Silkie behind the ears. In the mean time, Raven walks in and is disgusted at the sight. She argues that it is gross and that she should bathe Silkie some other way.

That night, the boys sneak quietly in Starfire's room and kidnap Silkie in a bag, and accidently drop the flyer stating that Killer Moth is searching for his lost larve. Cyborg, Robin and Beast boy take Silkie to Killer Moth's lair and return it to him. Killer Moth cuddles and kisses him. After the villan has finished his display of affection, he waits for the 3 to leave. But instead, they wait for the prize cash and Killer Moth eventually gives it to them.

Starfire wakes up in the morning to find her bed Silkie-less and flies into the living room screaming. Raven tells her to calm down. Starfire shows her the flyer and also thinks a snake wrote it but Raven concludes that someone probably took him back for a cash reward and Starfire wonders who would do such a thing.

Meanwhile, the 3 titans are sitting at the Java house and admiring their check. Robin wonders what anybody would do with the amount of money they have, and Beast Boy suggests that they should do what Scrooge McDuck does. They sing the song We're Rich and swim in gold colds.

Back at the tower, Raven is meditating when Starfire sees a stain on Raven's cloak. Starfire lunges at her and starts licking it off when Raven yells and tells her to knock it off. She tells her that maybe Killer Moth is taking good care of Silkie. So the two decide to find out themselves. They travels to KM's lair and find him ready to give Silkie a bath in a pool of toxic waste. Starfire commands him to stop, but is too late and he drops him in, Silkie comes out much bigger and with wings. Killer Moth tells Silkie to kill the girls, but Silkie talks and refuses to. Raven and Starfire and both surprised to see that he can talk. Starfire aks if he loves her or not, and Silkie says yes. Then they hop on its back and begin their adventure in the sky.

The boys are revealed to have already bought multiple things like portals, cars and fancy planes. They feel bad at the fact that they stole Silkie and go to the pet shop to buy kittens for Star. But just as they're walking back to the tower, they see the girls flying on the back of a further mutated Silkie so they run away and throw the box of cats away and the episode ends with them riding on the back of Silkie into the great beyond.
