Interspersed with Lincoln’s speech, we see Courtroom of Owls goons exhuming a casket and wheeling it right into a room stuffed with medical tools. They open it, revealing the physique of a person. As a substitute of a shroud, he was buried beneath a Talon costume. Gloved arms start to organize an Electrum concoction.

The Knights name Carrie and work out that both Brody lied, or he didn’t ship the textual content to Stephanie, as a result of the digital camera should nonetheless be in a single piece to be sending the sign. Which suggests the cardboard — with footage that might show their innocence — would possibly nonetheless exist too.

Whereas they focus on, Lincoln seems on the TV, speaking about doubling the reward to search out Bruce Wayne’s killers. Stephanie notices that the report is stay, which means that Lincoln just isn’t house. Time to maneuver!
Mr. Mayor

Which is nice, however confirms that Brody didn’t ship the textual content saying they had been destroyed, and he’s possible in bother.
Harper and Stephanie are interrupted by a safety alert. Earlier than they’ve time to behave, two safety guards burst in. The ladies handle to seize their weapons and take them out (Stephanie’s been working towards).
GCPD encompass the constructing; Harper and Stephanie want one other manner out. Determined, they struggle the oddly-named ground “N” within the elevator. It seems to be a hidden ground 13 Alan Wayne constructed.
The sign between the Knights dies, inflicting Harper to mutter that her and timing aren’t besties. Stephanie calls her out, and Harper confesses that she’s uncertain if Stephanie actually needed to kiss her after standing as much as her mother and father or if she’s simply the final particular person Stephanie’s mother and father would have needed her to be with. Stephanie instantly reassures her. An try to rectify the scenario by kissing her once more goes awry when Harper notices a casket over Stephanie’s shoulder.

Fortunately, throughout Brody’s stint within the casket, he heard the Owls speaking, and he is aware of there’s going to be a celebration that evening, and the place it’s being held.
The group shortly name Carrie to loop her in, however she’s stopped by her mother on the best way out. They argue as she tries to cease Carrie from leaving, reminding her that nobody is bulletproof.

The Knights get into the social gathering with relative ease. Harper even stops to kiss Stephanie on the best way, as they acquired interrupted earlier. However their good luck is brief lived as they enter the corridor the place the social gathering is happening.
The gorgeous dinner desk that Rebecca laid is roofed in blood and surrounded by useless Owls, their throats slit by Talons. Brody discovers his father on the head of the desk, as unmoving as the remaining.
