Synopsis for "The Hostage Heart, Part Three: Conclusion"
While Deathstroke is secretly fighting his way into Gorilla City and Blockbuster's medical condition is worsening, Black Canary convinces Gorilla Grodd to shut down the digital shield masking Gorilla City from satellites, etc. Otherwise no deal with Blockbuster would be possible. The second the shield is down, Oracle sends the coordinates of the city to the person who is supposed to rescue Black Canary.
As one of Grodd's guards has been identified as the best donor for Blockbuster's replacement heart, Grodd vows to keep Dinah imprisoned until Blockbuster has paid him. But when an intruder is reported and Lady Vic accidentally mentions Deathstroke, Grodd changes his mind. He wants the digital shield up again and all humans to be killed. But Dinah is able to break free from the gorilla guards and with Deathstroke's help she even secures the replacement heart which is stored in a cooler. When more gorilla warriors are surrounding them, suddenly Militia appears to fight them off, grab Dinah and leave again in a cargo plane. The heart may arrive too late in the U.S. though because doctors in Blockbuster's house just have confirmed a death there ...
