Synopsis for "Who Do You Trust?"

Atom challenges Black Adam to an arm wrestling match. Al is obstinate about Adam not belonging on the team and wants to humiliate him in strength. After letting him struggle, Adam jests when the match will begin and then smashes the table winning the match.

Sand was in the middle of giving Alex Montez, the new curator, a tour when they hear the commotion. Sand reminds Adam that he is on probation and needs to clean up the mess.

Wildcat tells Hawkman he'll need to court Hawkgirl. Sand walks in and introduces Alex. He pulls Hawkman aside and proposes he become chairman once more. Hawkman declines stating they look up to him now.

Doctor Fate fails at re-animating his wife. As he storms off, Mister Terrific informs Sentinel that he may be made entirely of green flame willpower.

Star-Spangled Kid shows off a picture of her new baby sister to Hawkgirl. Hawkman interrupts and asks Hawkgirl out but is denied.

Black Adam and Al clean up their mess but Adam snaps and grabs Al by the throat.

Sand overhears crying. He walks in and comforts Hawkgirl. As they kiss in a moment of weakness, Hawkman flies up to the window again and catches them kissing.
