Crush battles aliens invading New York's Chinatown and then rushes off to Katie's birthday party, forgetting the Titans protocol on "decontaminating after a battle with any intergalactic creature with a known history of chemical warfare". She awkwardly negotiates Katie's party, friends, and parents - but the chemical residue she carries from the battle results in a toxic cloud of gas that ruins the party. Katie appears to break up with Crush after the mishap. Crush receives a communication from her father, Lobo, who wants to reconnect after sessions of therapy while in prison. Will she do it?
