| − | Per [[Batman]]'s orders, he had [[Robin]]'s squad, consisting of himself, [[Spoiler]], [[Arrowette]], and [[Orphan]], track Jervis Tetch, the [[Mad Hatter]] since he was released from [[Arkham Asylum]] six months prior. They noticed that he was drinking a lot of water and that the water bottles he was leaving behind contained clay backwash. Robin decides to investigate, but Orphan simply slices Tetch in half, revealing him to be [[Clayface]] in disguise. As they battle Clayface, Spoiler reminds the others to forget Clayface—Tetch is their real target. At this, Clayface retreats to protect Tetch. The group is able to track him thanks to a liquid tracker Spoiler planted on him.<ref name=e308>{{ep ref|308}}</ref> |

| − | Tetch is revealed to be inside a warehouse, injecting a nanotech solution into an inmate. The solution allows others to have complete control over the subject, through words spoken into the Mad Hatter's device. Clayface arrives, yelling that he has to protect Tetch from Robin's team, who then make their entrance. Tetch activates his device, clearly putting Clayface under his thrall. He makes his exit with the inmate while Clayface shields him.<ref name=e308 /> |

Robin grabs one of Hatter's control devices, and as he grapples to the roof, he notices that the warehouse is wired with explosives set to detonate. He orders everyone out of the building, and his team manages to escape just in time. Robin tells Clayface to escape as well, but he is forced to protect Hatter. The warehouse collapses in a fiery explosion with Clayface still inside, but the villain is able to reform.<ref name=e308 /> |

| − | Batman reports that they have successfully neutralized the meta-human trafficking operation of Branchwater Security, a front company controlled by [[Stagg Industries]]. [[Simon Stagg]], its majority shareholder, used Branchwater to create a meta-crime covert operations unit to engage in corporate espionage and warfare. Oracle explains that they identified three links in Branchwater’s supply chain – acquisition, coercion, and utilization. In the acquisition phase, Branchwater liberates existing meta-humans from prisons and transports – Clayface, Livewire, and Mist were acquired in this manner. In the coercion phase, Branchwater has the Mad Hatter inject a nanotech solution that forces them to follow commands – the fate Brick was rescued from. Finally, Cheshire leads the meta-humans to do whatever Stagg wanted them to do.<ref name=e308 /> |

Batman does the same for Livewire and Mist, but since the two are minors and not hardened criminals, they were not taken to Belle Reve like the others. As for Stagg, Superboy and Miss Martian captured him in the act of receiving stolen property – the device stolen from STAR Labs, which turned out to be a [[Reach]] device, salvaged from one of the Reach warships that was destroyed when protecting the [[Earth]] from [[the Warworld]]’s missiles. The device’s purpose is unclear, but [[Blue Beetle]] translates the Reach text on the device as "meta-human failsafe".<ref name=e308 /> |

Since Oracle had sent all the evidence to the authorities, a news broadcast was shown that Stagg was being arrested in [[Gotham City]] for meta-trafficking. The Reach device was on its way back to STAR Labs Detroit, although it appeared to have sustained some damage.<ref name=e308 /> |

Batman reminded her that they agreed to take a page from [[the Light]]’s playbook to fight fire with fire. Robin comments that they are like the Anti-Light, and Diana is quick to point out that darkness is the opposite of light. She is uncomfortable with keeping the other members of the League in the dark, but Batman points out that they needed plausible deniability. [[Superman]] can hardly be expected to lie under oath, and as a sovereign princess of [[Themyscira]], Wonder Woman could invoke her diplomatic status to avoid testifying. Wonder Woman then asks if the rest of them are prepared to lie. Although Aquaman and Miss Martian give each other meaningful looks, no one says anything.<ref name=e308 /> |

Oracle advises Katana and Metamorpho to steer clear, but a helicopter flies overhead and Shiva sends her students away, save for one. Oracle then advises Katana and Metamorpho to follow Shiva.
