Renée Montoya is not having a good birthday: her father is badgering her about getting married, her colleagues have forgotten her birthday and she is forced to give evidence to convict a man she does not want to see go to jail. The Commissioner gives her the rest of the day off and she decides to track down the person who gave her a bunch of birthday tulips. The trail leads to playboy millionaire Bruce Wayne, where she discovers that he was asked to send them by Harvey Dent, also known as the criminal Two-Face, whom she got to know during No Man's Land. She visits him where he is incarcerated, an act of kindness for which Batman thanks her.
