Synopsis for "Heroes and Villains"

Lex Luthor shares a drink with Amanda Waller and gives her a gift, claiming to know what she wants before she can ask. Elsewhere, below LexCorp, the Suicide Squad are teleported into the basement by Enchantress' magic. They successfully infiltrate except for one of Captain Boomerang's arms! Very soon the team find themselves discovered by the guards while Waller and Luthor continue to negotiate.

Enchantress appears once the fighting is concluded with the arm of a beast and offers to reattach it to Boomerang. Harley Quinn notices that Boomerang had been different since he'd secretly killed Hack. Before they can really talk a guard bot spots the team; realising that the guard only notices the living Enchantress makes the team undead temporarily.

As the upstairs negotiations begin to peak, the Squad encounter Lex's most dangerous guardians, an army of Bizarros. Chaos ensues and triggers an alarm, alerting Lex away from nearly kissing Waller and causing him to fly to the scene in his new power suit.

Quinn jumps onto Lex's exposed head but Waller's appearance (courtesy of Enchantress) calls a cease fire. Lex smugly asks Waller to open the gift he'd given her earlier to discover it was the Kryptonite that she had organised the team to steal.

Leaving the smug Lex, on Belle Reve Waller oversees the insertion of a Kryptonite bomb into their most dangerous weapon, Zod.
