PLOT:
Arriving at the airfield, Calculator immediately betrays the Birds and attempts to hand them over to the Syndicate. Kilg%re arrives in an instant through the internet and uses his abilities to reshape the Aerie One into a walking killing machine. When the rest of the Syndicate arrive on the scene they quickly realize that the woman Calculator refers to as Oracle is not the real deal. With the Birds surrounded, Green Arrow, Black Canary and Speedy show up just in time to save the day. Finding themselves suddenly outnumbered, the Syndicate decides to retreat, begrudgingly taking Calculator with them.

Joker pulls up to Clocktower Systems a second time and immediately lets himself in. Barbara, unafraid of the madman who put her in a wheelchair confronts him head on, using her weaponry skills to hold her own and deflect his attacks. Barbara hauls off and uses one of her sticks to bash Joker in the mouth, shattering his teeth and ruining his trademark smile. Witnessing the devastation to his mouth, Joker flies into a rage and throws Barbara down a flight of stairs. Luckily, Misfit teleports back just in time. With the rest of the Birds following close behind, Joker flees the scene. Shortly thereafter a dental surgeon and his assistant are found dead, smiles etched across their faces - leading Barbara to believe that Joker managed to have his grin restored before skipping town.

The Syndicate reconvenes at the Fun Haus where they find themselves once again short one member. Gizmo suggests that they use Calculator to fill Joker's spot and the others agree. Unfortunately for them, Barbara, having survived her fall down the steps is ready to take the battle to them. She and her newly returned Bird, Black Canary are going to be delivering the next strike personally.
