Synopsis:
The members of Infinity Inc. attend the wedding of Hector Hall and Lyta Trevor. Jade and Brainwave leave the party early. Shortly thereafter Mr. Bones summons Sylvester to check on Solomon Grundy. Jade is present, and she orders Grundy to kill Skyman. Sylvester and Mr. Bones try to defend themselves, but Grundy is too powerful. The monster grabs Bones by the arm and places his bared hand on Sylvester's cheek. The cyanide touch of Bones kills Skyman.

Jade and Grundy depart. Jade is revealed as the new Harlequin in disguise. She then recruits the Dummy and joins the other members of Injustice Unlimited to plot against the rest of Infinity Inc.

Meanwhile Mr. Bones reaches Dr. Midnight for aid with his injuries. When Sylvester's body is discovered, he flees knowing that he will be suspected of the murder since it was his unwilling touch that killed Skyman. Infinity Inc. meets to grieve for their fallen teammate. They divide into teams to search for Bones and Grundy.
