Synopsis for "Before & After"

Jackson, Lucia and Delilah foil the attack on the unification conference and rescue Mera and the other delegates. However, Lucia is critically wounded by a terrorist while protecting Jackson. Jackson almost beats the man to death with his bare hands and is only stopped by Arthur, who has arrived with the Atlantean Guard and an army of sea creatures.

Jackson rushes Lucia to Atlantis, telling Arthur and Mera to stay behind and finish her speech. The doctors at Atlan Memorial Medical Centre manage to stabilise Lucia but she is left in a coma. Jackson blames himself, believing Lucia felt the need to prove herself to him after he doubted her. He returns to the Well and begins obsessively training, refusing to speak to Arthur when he tries to comfort him. He also tells the Xebelian refugees not to visit Lucia in hospital and chases Delilah away. Meanwhile, the Atlantean media starts calling Jackson "Aquaman".

At an isolated pub in Iceland, Arthur secretly meets with Black Manta.
