The Fourth of July of Mod

The Fourth of July of Mod is the eighth episode of Rise of The Teen Titans season 3. It is the holiday of The Fourth of July.

### Plot

It is the Fourth of July and everyone prepares for the traditional evening fireworks. But just two seconds before their start, Mad Mod suddenly pops up on the city's public TV screens and announces that the American Revolution has never happened; right after this, he activates his hypno-screens. The Titans are already wise to his tricks, but the rest of Jump City's population is not so fortunate and easily falls under Mod's sway, who reclaims the city in the name of England, proclaims himself king, and attempts right away to conform his brainwashed subjects to British culture.

### The Old And The New

The Titans confront Mad Mod in the subway, but he manages to separate Nightwing and Superboy from their teammates and activate a device in his cane which drains Nightwing's and Superboy's youth into Mad Mod, restoring him to his young age and reducing Nightwing and Superboy to decrepit old men.

### Revolution Has Started

Conner escapes from the train but Mad Mod makes his escape, and Starfire, Cyborg, Raven, and Beast Boy find themselves back in a black-and-white pop-art*ésque* facsimile of London, England. They are soon attacked by Mad Mod's robot army, and outmatched, they are forced into hiding.

### The Plan

Once they have regrouped, however, the Titans start bickering about how to proceed: Starfire suggests finding Nightwing and restoring his and Conner's youth so he can lead them in defeating Mad Mod, Cyborg votes for thrashing the robots in a full frontal assault, Raven wants to find and apprehend Mad Mod first, and Beast Boy ... well, his proposal to assemble and train a gerbil commando force is unanimously disregarded by the others. They try out the first three plans one by one, but whatever they do, Mad Mod anticipates their intentions and gets them caught in an ambush.

### Taking Back The City

Evading the robots, the Titans end up in the city hall, dejected. But then it is Starfire, as an alien, who realizes one of the inner principles of democracy: Compromise.

### The End of The Revolution

Mad Mod parades through the city, the Titans combine the key elements of their respective plans, including Beast Boy's gerbil commando suggestion, depriving Mad Mod of his cane. Before he can retrieve it, Nightwing manages to get hold of it, reversing the aging effect and Conner's too and then, by breaking the cane, eliminating Mad Mod's control over the city, which reverts back to normal. The Titans took Mod to Jump City Prison and watched the fireworks from Titans Tower.
