 This episode is messy and we’re surprised Disney hasn’t sued Warner Bros.’s butts for this.

Missing is the 46th episode of the 1st season of Teen Titans Go!.
Synopsis
Killer Mouth offers a reward for Silkie's return, but will Silkie be happier away from the Titans, or will reunite with Starfire?
Why It Should Go Missing
- This episode's plot is very cliched. It's the "poor person who wins the lottery." Buys everything on their wishlist then become depressed because they liked life better when they were poor” The plot, is very overdone and the way it's done in this episode comes off as forced, the details will be explained below.
- The episode begins with Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Robin hanging out in an alleyway of a concert and there are more questions than answers and many glaring plot holes.
- Why are Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Robin suddenly poor? They were shown to be able to afford to do what they wanted to do in previous episodes, it just feels like it's there to set up the story.
- To think the boys eating garbage is disgusting, why didn't they get ill from eating spoiled food? They should've gone to the hospital.
- The boys are also breaking a law: loitering. Why didn't they get fined for doing this?
- Then the boys find a ransom note from Killer Moth in the dumpster, kickstarting the plot.
- Also, there's an annoying running gag throughout the episode where the Titans misread the ransom note and read the dollar signs as hissing and think a snake wrote it and another Titan corrects them. It was never funny and just comes off as jarring and stupid.
- The scene with Starfire’s bedtime routine is disgusting because before she gets ready for bed she “cares for Silkie”. This involves chewing up food and spitting it in Silkie's mouth to “feed him”, much like a mother bird and baby bird, and licking him to “bathe him”, much like a mother cat and her kittens. It is a running gag that is recurrent only in season 1 and it is very disgusting.
- Raven's reaction perfectly sums up our’s as she repeatedly yells “Ew!”.
- Thankfully, this running gag dies after season 1 ends so we'll never see this vomit-inducing gag again.
- Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Robin become unlikable because they kidnap Silkie and return him to Killer Moth because the ransom note asks for him. To make matters worse, they leave the ransom note in Starfire's room.
- After this, the viewers facepalm because Killer Moth gives the boys money and they don't know what to do with it. Cyborg and Beast Boy ask Robin who is the wealthiest person he knows. To our surprise, he says Scrooge McDuck. Why didn't he say Bruce Wayne?
- After this, we see a poorly photoshopped image of a stock image of a duck with a mustache, monocle, and top hat. While this was likely done to prevent copyright infringement, it comes off as cheap and stupid.
- Mr. Enter sums this up perfectly: “Why does Scrooge McDuck look like he's from Breadwinners? Why doesn't the richest person Robin know Bruce Wayne? Why hasn't Disney sued them yet? I'm seriously thinking about reviewing, like, every single episode from the series, but as for now, there's only one thing left to do.”
- After this, the writers parody the Ducktales intro, it comes off as insulting and it makes you wonder why Disney hasn't sued them. They take the musical arrangement and lyrics and change them. It comes off as copyright infringement and plagiarism.
- Starfire wakes up and has a panic attack. During her panic attack, she licks Raven. It comes off as weird and inappropriate.
- Weird/disturbing ending: Killer Moth turns Silkie into a giant version of himself with butterfly wings and he can talk now and sounds like Marshmallow from The Annoying Orange. He takes Raven and Starfire on a ride and runs over the boys when they are trying to give Starfire a litter of kittens they adopted, presumably killing the kittens. Then the episode abruptly ends.
Redeeming Qualities
- The shopping montage is fun.
- Raven realizes she is wrong for calling Silkie an emotionless entity.
- The joke of Beast Boy and Starfire mistaking the dollar signs on the poster as a snake's hissing can be funny for some people.
