Synopsis: - As Diana and Hippolyta have a less-than-amicable meal together, the Silver Swan is directed to attack various targets in Gateway City. Cassie Sandsmark (Wonder Girl) meanwhile gets a detention for talking in class. In Gateway City, policeman Mike Schorr realises that the Sandsmarks are being targeted, contacting Helena only just in time to get her away from the museum where she works. Meanwhile, the people controlling the Silver Swan have to pump more and more negative psychic imagery into her to keep her doing their bidding. As Wonder Woman is alerted to what's going on, and makes her way towards Gateway, Cassie's school comes under attack from the Swan, who Cassie recognizes.
- When Wonder Woman arrives on the scene, she too recognises the Silver Swan: it is Vanessa Kapatelis. Not listening to a word Diana says, Vanessa rants about how she's become just like her friend. She manages to temporarily knock Wonder Woman out, which is the cue for Sebastian, the man in charge of controlling her to go through the ritual which will transform him into the Cheetah. When Diana wakes up, Vanessa reveals that the biggest source of her anger was the fact that she didn't get to become Wonder Girl. The new, male Cheetah, arrives on the scene, to Diana's confusion, and he and the new Silver Swan are taken away by Circe, who promises to see Wonder Woman again if she survives the coming conflict with Imperiex. Distraught, Wonder Woman is then contacted by the Martian Manhunter who tells her that she is desperately needed.
