Synopsis:
The Amazons host a feast for the United Nations delegates visiting Themyscira. Menalippe, has provided golden apples which are consumed by most of the delegates and the Amazons. Lois Lane and two other delegates do not eat the apples. Those that do become aggressive and a number of fights ensue.

Lois and the others try to escape. Wonder Woman blocks their way. She begins choking Lois. The other delegates assist Lois in fighting Wonder Woman, who begins melting. This was not the real Diana.

With the Amazons in pursuit, Lois leads a trio of delegates to the entrance to Doom's Doorway. She finds it open. They enter. Lois falls into a hole where she finds the real Wonder Woman bound to a tree trunk. Eris watches.
