Synopsis:

Flash is able to drive Eclipso away from the JSA HQ by opening the walls up to let sunlight in. JSA curator Alex Montez reveals that this is partially his fault - he had been working with Bruce Gordon to retrieve all of Eclipso's black diamonds, but Eclipso had taken Dr Gordon over. Meanwhile, the rest of the JSA battle Mordru and people who are under Obsidian's dark control; when Power Girl and Dove show him some true resistance, Mordru tires and exits the scene to meet up with Obsidian and Eclipso - together they are able to cause a total eclipse as Kobra's terrorist cells bgin to strike all over the world. And in the Shadowlands, Star-Spangled Kid learns that Captain Marvel is truly a child, and Doctor Fate is rescued from confinement within his amulet, meeting the previous bearers of his legacy.
