Aquaman and Mera return to Atlantis and find that the algae farms there have increased production by over a thousandfold.

Synopsis for Wonder Woman: "School of the Amazoids"

On her way to visit Wonder Girl in San Francisco, Wonder Woman meets and battles three masked, super-powered girls with the abilities of Amazons. The three "Amazoids" escape, and Wonder Woman becomes Diana Prince and calls on Donna Troy, alias Wonder Girl. Later, Wonder Woman discovers that the head of Donna's school is really Headmaster Mind, a super-villain, and that he has been using a device to sap Donna's Amazon powers and instill them within the bodies of three girls whom he "enticed...with the promise of power!" Wonder Woman and Wonder Girl are almost defeated by the Amazoids until Diana destroys the power-sapping machine and renders them powerless. The Headmaster falls into his own machine and is apparently killed in the resulting fire. Wonder Woman and Wonder Girl rescue the Amazoids, who are now repentant. Wonder Girl tells them that they can indeed acquire Amazonian powers through training and belief in themselves. Later, she tells Wonder Woman that she will continue as a super-heroine and search for a role for her civilian identity.
