Synopsis for "Better Together, Part Four: Nothing Is Real"
Directing Batman and Superman from a boat, Wonder Woman is able to guide them to Themyscira. Setting foot ashore, she is relieved to be home, although Batman reminds her that none of it is real. Before they can react however, they are surronded by Amazons, and while they recognise Wonder Woman as a fellow Amazon, they nonetheless demand to know why she has brought two men to the island. She attempts to announce that she is the daughter of Hippolyta, but one of the Amazons fails to believe her and attempts to strike her down. However, before she can, a younger Diana steps in and saves them, reminding them that it is not in their nature to use violence until they have determined the truth.
Meanwhile, back at Smith Farm, Lois Lane drives a pickup truck through the door of the barn where the heroes are being held, knocking over Poison Ivy and the unconcious Jon Kent. Lois quickly rushes over to Jon, worried she has hurt him, and spots the bodies of the heroes wrapped up in Black Mercy. Poison Ivy reassures her that Jon is fine, before attacking.
Back on Themyscira, the three heroes are subject to a series of tests by Queen Hippolyta, with Superman pushing a boulder, Wonder Woman participating in an archery contest and Batman defeating several Amazons in combat. The three are judged to have passed, but while Wonder Woman is permitted to remain and introduce herself to the Queen, the two men are to be banished to the Dark Quarters. Wonder Woman persuades Hippolyta to allow her to join them, and the three make their way down while the younger Diana attempts to convince her mother to change her mind.
They are forced to board a small raft, and as they leave, Diana joins them at the last second, feeling she can help. With the younger Diana admitting she wishes to know why the older Amazon returned from the outside world so distressed, Wonder Woman opts to use the Lasso of Truth on her, revealing to her that they are one and the same and that the world they are occupying is an illusion, created by a being intending to learn who the three of them are. Suddenly, they are attacked by a giant sea monster - Superman readies to fight it, but the younger Diana implores them to trust that it will take them where they need to go. It dives underwater with them and they find themselves in a pit of snakes, with the younger Diana nowhere to be seen. Batman reveals that he was able to deduce roughly what Wonder Woman and Hippolyta had said to each other and attempts to thank her for volunteering to join them, but before he can, Wonder Wonder woman grabs Diana's sword and hacks her way out of the sea monster's body, where they find...
...Mongul, who thanks his daughter for having brought him three new presents.
