Synopsis:

Tim Drake is extremely surprised to discover that Ariana has bleached her hair blonde, done because she saw him look at a blonde girl at Karl Ranck's funeral. He tries to tell her that he loves her as she is, but she doesn't listen. As Robin, he interrupts Maxie Zeus in the act of stealing an empty truck and is knocked unconscious by Maxie's strongman Heracles. When he comes to, Maxie demands that Robin arrange an audience with the Oracle for him.
