Synopsis:

The Dragon King coerces the kids of the mid-West to attack their elders, but is overcome when the Star-Spangled Kid refuses to finish off S.T.R.I.P.E., who rescues Barbara from Principal Sherman while the Shining Knight has his final show-down with the Dragon King. Barbara is rather surprised at her daughter's heroic activities, and is even more shocked to discover she's a Justice Society member. Shiv is recruited by Johnny Sorrow for the Injustice Society.

Barbara drops her own bombshell by telling Pat she's pregnant - and Mike answers the door to Courtney's father.
