Synopsis:
Hermes leads Diana to Boston where she meets Julia Kapatelis, a Harvard professor who offers to help Diana. Steve Trevor recovers in the hospital, but Deimos sends his follower General Tolliver to ensure Steve is not a threat to the plans of Ares. Steve escapes from Tolliver and seeks out Etta Candy for help.

Meanwhile, Phobos creates a new threat from the heart of the gorgon. He sends the threat in the form of a statue to the home of Julia Kapatelis. Vanessa, Julie's daughter, opens the package. A short time later, the statue transforms into the villainess Decay, who has the power to age and destroy anything she touches.
