Synopsis for "Doom"

Amanda Waller goes to the White House to inform the president of an urgent matter and finds him and his security detail having been incapicated by the Legion of Doom. Brainiac and Lex Luthor stun her as well. The duo leave for Metropolis, where Lex fires everyone from LexCorp and prepares for an onslaught from the United States military. He explains to Brainiac that he has extracted data from them that will allow him to control the world: he has liquidated all his assets and given his vast wealth to a network of supervillains with a coordinated plot to destroy superheroes. He tells Brainiac to leave and is then confronted by Captain Atom and government forces before he initiates a huge explosion.

Synopsis for "Leviathan"

In Seattle, Merlyn tries to escape from Green Arrow and Batgirl - he pleads for them to let him go, he suggests they all board his helicopter and he'll explain on the way. Arrow and Batgirl are nonplussed but Merlyn explains that they are in the middle of a "royal flush", all of the secret organisations are being shut down forcibly. The heroes grab him and start to leave but it's too late, Leviathan has arrived.

An enormous explosion levels the building but Barbara wakes up in a room face-to-mask with Leviathan. They offer Barbara a deal, to work with them to improve the way the world works. Leviathan reveals that they know all of her secrets and that, despite her best efforts, nothing has changed; instead Leviathan offers to allow Barbara to join the organisation, to become Leviathan.

Elsewhere, Green Arrow calls Batman to explain the situation but Damien has another idea - he asks Batman to ensure that this was not caused by his old partner, Red Hood.
