David Said and Mr. Bishop dispose of Connie's body after discovering she is the leak. Bruce Wayne stays in for the night to play chess with Alfred and discuss "the children," but Bruce ends up storming off when Alfred won't tell Bruce what's wrong. When Robin comes to tell Bruce that Stephanie isn't giving up as Spoiler, Bruce asks if he knows about Alfred's condition.
Felix Desidero continues his investigation into Bruce Wayne, calling politicians to ask about Bruce while he looks into Jason Todd's death and the death of Dick Grayson's parents.
Huntress has been abducted by Checkmate. She is being held in a cell where she is drugged by Scarecrow and Mad Hatter. They observe her reactions, and from what she says, they can figure they can drive a final wedge between her and the other Bats. The Question searches for her and informs Nightwing of her disappearance. Said gives Scarecrow and Mad Hatter one-way tickets to Hasaragua in thanks for their help. Said offers Huntress a job, and as answer, she jumps out of the building.

Synopsis for "Batman Black & White"
Batman and Catwoman have been tied to each other with rope and doused in gasoline. They try to cut themselves free with igniting a spark that could set them on fire, but before they can, the man who caught them enters the room. He rambles about his customers, then strikes his match, which causes the inflatable Batman and Catwoman he has tied up to burst.
