Synopsis:

Huntress continues her operations with the Gotham mob, destabilizing them by encouraging desertion and dissention in the ranks. Meanwhile, as Oracle continues to search for Blue Beetle, her illness overcomes her, which incidentally serves to make her less of a problem in the eyes of the OMACs. In Singapore, Black Canary and Wildcat conclude their drugs deal, which is intended to sting both the supplier, Mr. Tan, and his customers, who include Don Sigiorello in Gotham City. When they hear of Oracle's condition, they make good their exit, although this is complicated by Anthony Yeoh, who supposedly works for Tan, planting a package of cocaine in their vehicle. As the Birds escape Singapore, Huntress encounters 'Crutches', a new mob enforcer in Gotham, and is surprised to see that she recognises him as Nightwing.
