Synopsis:
The Justice League enlists the aid of Amanda Waller to help deprogram Blue Beetle, whom they learn was brainwashed by the Queen Bee during his time in Bialya. Waller reactivates Beetle's programmed kill order when she uses the phrase "Bialya, my Bialya". Fortunately she is able to stop him from killing her. Next, Waller tries hypnosis to get the Beetle to recall when he was captured. However, an azrael block was inserted into Ted's mind which causes him to fall into a coma.

Following Waller's failure, Batman tries to contact Doctor Fate for help.
