When Beast Boy loses his ability to change into animals, he realizes that he’s lost touch with his wild side. He goes to the forest to reconnect with his inner beast, but Mother Nature isn't as great as he had hoped.
Plot
It all begins when the Giant Robotic Alien attacks Jump City and the Titans are ready to save it once again except for Beast Boy who attempted to transform himself into any animal but had no effect. The Titans are starting to get worried about Beast Boy's powers and when Robin orders him to be a rhino, Beast Boy only pretended to be one but eventually the alien smacks him into a power pole knocking it down and electrocutes the alien. Still, Beast Boy admits his victory due to his animal powers even though he hasn't transformed himself.
Back at the Tower, Beast Boy doesn't admit that his powers are gone and when the Titans are over at a pizza, Beast Boy had it all prepared into a fancy table specifically made for gentlemen. He teaches the Titans not to eat like animals, in a more cultured style. Robin claims that the comforts of modern life has stripped Beast Boy of his animal instinct. And while Beast Boy finally realizes that he has to regain his powers back by reconnecting with the Mother Nature but he's being warned by Robin that Mother Nature is the worst mother of all and the reason why they all are living inside.
Beast Boy going alone all by himself in his underwear, heads on to feel the nature's prosperity. It all goes well until all goes wrong as the nature turned against him. Three weeks later , the Titans are searching around for Beast Boy in the forest as Robin warns them to be careful in order to survive and starts to eat butterflies as a meal. Meanwhile Beast Boy doesn't know anymore how to survive until a rabbit comes in, making him to hunt it down but during the chase, the rabbit leads Beast Boy to Mother Nature herself.
Meanwhile, the Titans were on camping as Robin pops out in a more primitive survivor look and gives them some water to drink from an infested lake leading the Titans to disgust and warns them to stay focused in the wilderness. On the other hand , Beast Boy claims that Robin was right about Mother Nature being so rudely as she squished a robin bird on her hand thinking it was his fault, and while Beast Boy can't do anything to solve this problem, Mother Nature also claims that its the circle of life. Then he convinced her to do some changes around in the forest to look it more urban living.
On the other end of the forest, Robin has found a skeleton of an reindeer believing it was Beast Boy thinking he regained his powers back. He warns the Titans and shows them the skeleton but Raven didn't believed it as she was ready to return back to the Tower while Cyborg and Starfire were still crying thinking that Beast Boy has kicked the bucket. Later on, Beast Boy managed Mother Nature to change the whole nature into a city metropolis of animals, wooden buildings to give it a vibe of urban style. And Mother Nature seems to be happy of it as soon as she hugs Beast Boy to thank him for his changing suggestions, his powers finally returned. Beast Boy is also happy that he can finally change into any animal he wants, and in the end when he turned himself into a butterfly, Robin ate him for pure protein without knowing that it was Beast Boy.
The mushroom homes created by Mother Nature may reference the television series, The Smurfs.
Robin's imagined version of Mother Nature has four horns, similar to former GWAR lead singer Oderus Urungus.
This episode's plot is similar to the plot of the SpongeBob Squarepants episode "Nature Pants" in which SpongeBob reconnects with nature by living life with the jellyfish, but he eventually finds it much harsher than he thought.
