Plot
The episode begins with the Titans starting to eat their Thanksgiving feast, with Robin declaring how the day has reminded him that he has much to be thankful for, but most of all, his friends. Once the heartwarming moment is over, the Titans begin ravenously devouring their Thanksgiving feast, except Starfire, who thinks they should take the time to enjoy it. Robin states that there is no time, that they must prepare for Black Friday. However, Starfire says that she can't participate in Black Friday this year. This flabbergasts the Titans, as to them, Black Friday is the most important holiday of the year. Starfire states that she doesn't care for it. The Titans disagree, as Black Friday is the one holiday everyone can agree on. Starfire still declines to celebrating Black Friday, and returns to her room, deciding to sleep through it.

Later, she is awoken by the Ghost of Black Friday Past (Robin). She compliments him on his "dress", which he angrily replies are old-timey pajamas. He the takes her to last year's Black Friday, at the electronics store. He reminds Starfire of how she tried to buy a surround sound system for the Titans, but was hindered by the large crowds, and Jinx grabbed it first. The ghost reflects on how, if she had elbowed someone, she could have gotten it. Starfire states that the item was not important. The ghost then takes her back to the tower and shows her that, while she went to bed, the other Titans stayed up to enjoy their new flat screen TV, but couln't enjoy because of the lack of the surround sound system. Starfire begs the ghost not to show her anymore, and suddenly wakes up, thinking it was a nightmare. She decides to join the other Titans, even if she will not take part in Black Friday. She then joins the Titans at the front of the incredibly long line in front of the electronics store. However, upon learning that Starfire is not there to celebrate Black Friday, order her to the back of the line, as the front of the line is for those who know the true meaning of Black Friday. She goes all the way to the back of line, where she once again falls asleep. he then finds that the line is gone, and only a van remains.

She enters the van, and meets the two Ghosts of Black Friday Present (Beast Boy and Cyborg) among thousands of burgers and burritos. They explain that the deal was buy one, get an infinite amount for free. Starfire asks how that's possible, and the ghosts tell her that, as long as Black Friday lives in your heart, any deal is possible. They then show her the kindness the Titans are showing to each other, and explain that that is the spirit of Black Friday. They ask her if she wants to share that with her friends. She replies that she would like to, but that Black Friday is not the way. They then begin pushing her and asking if she is sure multiple times until she wakes up and is pushed into the store by the stampeding crowd. She tries to talk sense into the crazed crowd of customers, but is knocked unconsious.

Starfire then sees the Ghost of Black Friday Future (Raven), who takes her to see the Titans in the future. The ghost reveals that in the future, Robin, Beast Boy and Raven are homeless and living with the rats because, without Starfire, they spent too much money on electronics, while Cyborg was trampled to death trying to buy a laptop 90% off. Horrified, Starfire begs the ghost to change these events, and declares that she will change her ways.

She then wakes up in the store and asks what day it is. She is told that it is Black Friday. Overjoyed that it is not to late, she finds her friends, who are being trampled by the crowd. She blasts them away, and the Titans go on a shopping spree, grabbing various items from other shoppers (with Starfire triumphantly reclaiming the surround sound system from Jinx). The Titans return to the tower triumphant, where Buster, the Spirit of Black Friday, awards them 99% off on everything for their show of the Spirit of Black Friday. Buster wishes the Spirit of Black Friday be with them always before disappearing, and the Titans wish the same to him.
