Episode Title:
Antisocial Pathologies.
Episode Description:
The Outsiders learn that they've inspired new young metas, like Infinity, Inc.; though Geo-Force thinks they're piggybacking off the Outsiders' fame. While Dick is recovering, Jefferson finally realizes everything that's happened since Batman Inc. split from the Justice League. The news, naturally, enrages the Outsiders and Conner when they learn that their closest allies were keeping secrets from them. In the meantime, Jace secretly kidnaps Halo, Tara, and Brion; handing them over to Ultra-Humanite and Granny. Halo is placed under the control of a "cerebral leash" and then exposed to an X-Pit, re-polarizing the effects of her violet healing aura. Granny then tests said effects on Jace, compelling her to reveal that she lied about Halo dying; she considers the metas she creates to be her children and wanted to separate Halo from her "son". Tara frees herself and Brion, thanks to unseen help from Deathstroke. However, Granny kidnaps Halo and sends her to the Orphanage, where another Granny awaits, while Ultra-Humanite escapes with Dr. Jace. Tara and Brion reveal what happened, causing Jefferson to leave, as he can no longer trust any of them. Believing the heroes to be nothing but traitors, Tara recommits to Deathstroke. In the meantime, Ultra-Humanite tells the Light that Darkseid will soon tip the universal balance with Halo as the catalyst for the Anti-Life Equation.
