Synopsis:

Robin arrives back at his home, but he is too late to save his father. As he grieves, the super-heroic community remembers lost loved ones and gradually starts to return to normal, puzzled that Captain Boomerang was responsible for the deaths, but relieved that he can kill no more. Flash confronts Green Arrow and learns that the League voted to wipe Batman's memories the same night that they altered Doctor Light. He came in as Zatanna was magically operating on the villain and was outraged. The others knew that this could be the end of the League, so they voted to remove the memory from his mind. Green Arrow assumes that Batman is now aware of this, but can not be sure. Meanwhile, the villains wonder who hired Captain Boomerang and who sent Jack Drake a warning note. And both Batman and Doctor Mid-Nite continue their investigations. Batman makes a sudden realisation just as Doctor Mid-Nite discovers some tiny footprints in Sue Dibny's brain. Both men believe they know who the killer is.
