Batman confronts Ariadne Pinxit and prevents her killing her next victim. Meanwhile, Bane learns that he and Batman are not related after all, he still has no family; and Dick and Barbara have a heart to heart about Batman. Batman is attacked by the man he has just saved, and Bane is the only person available to come to his help. Pinxit activates the nanite ink in her own body to attack Batman and the rapist Ricky, but with Bane's help, another death is prevented, although Pix (as Batman comes to call her) makes good her escape. Things are back to normal; or at least they almost are.
