Nightwing gives a mission briefing, admitting to Superboy and Megan privately his ruse with Aqualad. Megan blasts his brain (but he's not left drooling). Superboy actually understands.

They track Lagoon Boy to an underground Reach facility, and liberate everyone except Beetle.

Beetle gets taken to the Partner, and learns about the Reach. His scarab joins the Reach, bringing the unwilling Jaime Reyes along for the ride.

Aqualad tries to position Tigress where she would be 'captured' by the rescuers, but the Light assigns her to Deathstroke for training. Aqualad's life gets complicated really fast when Sportsmaster and Cheshire raids the Manta flyer. No definite resolution for the Crocks, athough Kaldur is injured.

Episode ends with the onscreen abductees rescued, but with Blue Beetle, Aqualad, and Artemis still in enemy hands.
