Synopsis:

Cheshire tries to make contact with Lian while her daughter is playing in the park, but comes under attack from Quraci assassins. She is saved by Epsilon, who then hands her over to the D.E.O. at Slabside prison. However, the D.E.O. themselves attempt to take Epsilon captive, as he has escaped from them, but the Titans come between them and allow Epsilon to come back to Titans Tower with them, though with a few reservations. Soon afterwards, an intruder alarm sounds and the Titans rush to the affected area, to discover that the security system has caught five innocent-looking kids.
