From a narrative point of view, yes, this episode was horrible, but from a character point of view, I think it did exactly what it meant to do. We now know that these kids are willing to risk everything to do their jobs, and to help each other. We're now aware after "Homefront" and "Failsafe" that Robin has the skills necessary to lead the Team. We know that Wally really does have strong feelings for Artemis, which was hinted in earlier episodes. We know that Aqualad is more than willing to put others before him, and we know how much M'gann relies on and loves her friends and family. And we know that she is an incredibly strong telepath, with some training. What we don't know is why on earth that the other heroes, Red Arrow, Zatanna and Rocket, who we saw suiting up, weren't called by the Team to help out, or why they didn't call them to help, after they saw that four of them were still alive. And on the Light, I'm actually pleased that we've had a few episodes that haven't focused on them. Yes, we saw them appear quite prominently in the early episodes, and I knew that this was to be a recurring thing, but having them involved int every single episode? It got a bit, well, boring. We saw them all the time, and, I dunno, it just got old. It's nice to move away from that for a while, just have some missions without the Light pulling any strings. And anyway, they're not going to do anything for a while, since the heroes think they were exposed as the Injustice League. They don't want any attention when people think that problem's solved.
