After locating the hide-out of criminal, Rocky Dawson, Diane Meade is injured, giving her amnesia. The doctor suggests that she continue her duties in hopes that it will restore her memory. John Jones keeps an eye on her as the Martian Manhunter, protecting her from danger. When she strolls past Rocky’s hide-out again, the crook tries to kill her. J’onn cannot get close to them because of some nearby flames, so he drills up from underground, stopping the gunman from killing Diane. Diane’s memory eventually returns after Jones has taken Rocky into custody.
