Synopsis for "Mind Games"

Kyle and Superboy find themselves locked in a fight with Starbreaker, while the Sorrow Lantern attempts to take the relic of the Source Wall from Odyssey, who barely escapes him with a cloaking device. A few moments, Hal arrives to help his friends. The Green Lanterns bind Starbreaker in chains, while the Sorrow Lantern tracks Odyssey down using her sadness and grief over the people she had lost. He takes the relic from her while the Starbreaker escapes from the Green Lanterns. The villains escape, while the Green Lanterns return to Oa.

At the Green Lanterns' precinct prime, Hal and Kyle inform their friends over what happened with Starbreaker and the Sorrow Lantern. Jessica explains the gathered Lanterns that Keli has theorized a way to stabilize the emotional spectrum: rebuild the power batteries previously destroyed by the United Planets. Hal and Kyle don't think that's a good idea but Jessica and Simon think it's the only viable plan they have. Without the batteries, the powers of the emotional spectrum are too dangerous, especially in the hands of people without the willpower to use it, like Erastus.

To reconstruct the batteries, they will need Nth metal, and Jessica will send Kyle and his team to Reach territory, and Hal already has a idea on how to take back the Source energy stolen from them, but his friends won't like it. At the Interceptor, Superboy attempts to comfort Odyssey over what happened with the Sorrow Lantern, but she doesn't want to talk about it. Kyle informs them about their new mission, and they travel to an abandoned mining outpost within Reach space, where they hope Nth metal is located. Once they enter the facility, they find a man chained to a stone column.

Hal flies to the Justice League Watchtower in search of Carol, who has been called for a mission in stopping the Mind-Bomber, a mission that doesn't take long thanks to assistance from Hal and Hector Hammond, who has been recruited by the Department of Extranormal Operations. Hammond wants to take Mind-Bomber under DEO custody, but Hal and Carol don't trust him. Even so, Director Bones says that the DEO has operational authority on U.S. soil and takes Mind-Bomber from them and Hammond says he will see Hal and Carol again soon.

At the DEO headquarters, Hammond begins interrogating Mind-Bomber with his telepathy and admits that he has been fooling everyone into thinking that he has changed his ways, but in reality, he is still the same person he's always been, only more secretive about it. He then kills the Mind-Bomber and cuts his head apart in an attempt to regain his lost power.

Hal and Carol have followed the DEO helicopter into their bunkers, and Dove has agreed to sneak into the facility and discover what are they hiding. Once Dove begins her infiltration, Hal tells Carol about the Green Lantern Corps' plan to stabilize the emotional spectrum and if the violet power battery is restored, maybe Carol could help them, too. Carol just wants time to think about it. She just embraced the idea of being a heroine and thinks she can be more than just Green Lantern's girlfriend, but joining the Star Sapphires again is a bit too much for her. Then, they receive a call for help from Dove and rush into the facility.
