Synopsis for "Return Of The Amazons Part 1"

Inside Dimension Chi, a dimension born from the mind of Hippolyta

Diana is inside Dimension Chi with Maggie and Atlantiades, searching for signs of the presence of an Amazon. Atlantiades suggests that maybe, when they saw what was happening in Themyscira, Hippolyta and her sisters escaped inside this realm, as it was the closest and more accessible dimension they could enter. But Atlantiades also tells Diana that there is no sign of their presence here, and that maybe it's dangerous to traverse the place, as threats might hid nearby. Diana answers she's not afraid of this place, and that if Atlantiades wants to stay he can do whatever he likes. Diana then keeps on searching, while Atlantiades says to Maggie that Diana is driven by grief, a thing that could turn out bad for her.

While exploring, Diana comes across a furious Empress Hippolyta, the counterpart of her mother who rules this dimension. She is in a kind of power trance, and attacks Diana at sight even if the last time they saw each other, they were allies. The Empress is strong, and even the combined might of Diana and Atlantiades cannot defeat her: thanks to a suggestion from Maggie, they trick her into falling from a cliff, but the Empress manages to grab unto Diana, destroying the cliff and making all three join the fall. They end up in a field of flowers, and there a group of Amazons gathers to check if they are from Grail's camp. But soon their commander, General Antiope, recognizes Diana, her nephew: the two embrace, seeing each other after a very long time.

After Atlantiades is welcomed by the Amazons and Maggie is informed that she can keep the sword and even join the Amazon ranks, with Philippus having some doubts about it, Diana wants to know what happened to their home of Themyscira. Antiope explains her that when Ares decided to kill himself, Themyscira broke like glass shattering due to a paradox, given the fact that Themyscira's reason of existence was to contain Ares as prisoner. After that, their home reformed and was taken by Grail, free from the prison as well, who overthrew Hippolyta and made herself queen. Antiope and Philippus took a group of Amazons with them, hiding inside Dimension Chi to develop a counterattack.
