- The day I walked back into Alleytown, I bought the Nest. It used to be Mama Fortuna's Fortress, then it became mine. Today, I gave it back to the people it belongs to. It's a start, a place for Strays to feel like they belong.

Synopsis for "An Unusual Suspect"
After the events of Fear State, Catwoman decides to give up her "kingdom" in Alleytown. She gifts The Nest to the Strays and then turns herself in to the police. Selina gives a false but plausible accounting of the battle for Alleytown which absolves her of any crimes, then escapes and frames Detective Kollak for her kidnapping with Clayface's help.
Meanwhile, Cheshire seemingly recognises Shoes as Lian and approaches her without her mask, introducing herself as "Jade". Shoes appears to subconsciously recognise her as the woman from her dream and nervously replies "Nice to meet you".
