Okay, this episode did not meet my expectations. The logline states that Black Manta was seeking vengeance against Miss Martian. What it should have said is that "Black Manta really does not do anything, and instead sends Tigress to do the dirty work."

The Tula scene many people were eager to see was also a bit disappointing. Turns out it was just apart of Kaldur's mind, and not some memory or flashback. Seven episodes to go. Will we find out what happened to Tula? What happened to Ocean-Master?

Not much action in this episode. Admittedly, the Tula part was a bit boring because it was not real.

Nightwing's little reveal was a little anti-climatic. I was surprised, but not in a good way. It just seemed out of the blue. I am also really disappointed by the way Nightwing was treated. I don't mean to say he was treated too badly. Rather, it was not bad enough. When Superboy found out Aqualad withheld knowledge of a mole in Season 1, Superboy nearly attacked him. When Nightwing revealed his secrets, Superboy gave him a verbal spanking. Times like this, I wish the old Superboy was back. He would have shredded Nightwing. I am confident this won't be the end of it, though.

The ending seemed, um, anti-climatic? It seemed too rushed, in my opinion.

Loved Deathstroke, though. The casual, yet I really felt bad for Lagoon boy when Deathstroke called him an animal. The guy already considers himself a monster. The guy just can't catch a break, huh? I still like him, though.

I also quite enjoyed the Tigress and Psimon scene. That actually kept me excited and guessing what would happen next. Psimon will be out of commission for a few weeks, so the Team does not have much time left.

I give this episode a B.
