PLOT:
Determined to hunt down the elusive Violet, Tim makes a deal with Detectives Wise and Cavallo to stake out Maxie Zeus's illegal gambling den. While trying to patch fences with Zoanne after their last date (when Tim fell asleep on a rollercoaster of all places), Violet makes her move.

Robin gets between Violet and the door and tries to stop her but gets barreled over by an out of control money cart and goes flying off the balcony. This of course gets the attention of Maxie's well armed goons who immediately open fire. Deciding that things were getting a little too dicey, Tim decides to save Violet's life and let her get away rather than try to apprehend her. The last thing he wants is another costumed female vigilante getting killed in the line of duty as Stephanie Brown (the Spoiler) once was. Detectives Cavallo and Wise arrive on scene and bust up Maxie Zeus's party.

Watching the arrests on the news, Penguin chortles at Zeus's takedown. Apparently this whole engagement only moves Robin and Violet closer to Penguin's trap. Meanwhile, someone else has been watching these events unfold as well - The Spoiler!

As Robin swings away into the night, Spoiler unmasks in the shadows revealing herself to be formerly deceased Stephanie Brown.
