That's my speculation for how the next two episodes will go, though I'm a bit more certain of my "Before the Dawn" and "Cornered" speculation than I am my "True Colors" spec. I like your theory until you get to Cornered. I'm pretty sure the alien gladiator will be Despero since in the Comic Con Trailer you can see a red alien with three eyes (obviously him) but still he will be part of the Reach's plan to kill or distract the heroes (it wouldn't be the first time the Partner pays for the services of an alien merc *cough* Lobo *cough)
 * 1) "Before the Dawn" begins, Blue Beetle manages to escape captivity early in the episode, finds Miss M and the Team, and the hunt for the heroes begins. Arsenal joins them.
 * 2) The captured Team members are rescued, it is discovered that the Partner is the Reach. The Team rescues the stolen teens also.
 * 3) The Team & teens escape the Reach, Zeta to Hall of Justice, are followed by the Beetle-like Reach agent we've seen in "Alienated" and "Salvage", the Hall goes into lock down, "Before the Dawn" finishes.
 * 4) "Cornered" begins, and the Team (including Arsenal) are "trapped inside the Hall of Justice for a cage match against a brutal alien gladiator", the gladiator being the Beetle-like Reach agent.
 * 5) The Cave is surrounded by a kind of force field as seen in Comic Con trailer, army attempts to gain access, but fail.
 * 6) By some means, the conflict between the Team and Reach agent ends, as does "Cornered".
 * 7) "True Colors" begins, with the Team somehow having learned that LexCorp has an alliance with the Reach. Tim Drake/Robin leads the squad to investigate.
 * 8) More excellent Luthor dialogue, and I'm betting that Luthor taunts Robin a bit about being Robin, and having replaced the previous deceased Robin. I'm sure Luthor knows Jason died from information acquired through the Light, though I doubt he knows the identity of any of the Robins.
 * 9) Through this taunting, I'm thinking we'll learn a little about Jason's death, perhaps even the means by which he died.
 * 10) Conflict ends, as does "True Colors".
