Synopsis:
After the Riddler escapes from jail, he decides to break his compulsion to send riddles to Batman before his crimes. Using psychological conditioning, the Riddler thinks he has finally cured himself of his habit. When the Riddler successfully commits a theft without leaving a clue, Batman is suspicious. He then realizes that several odd items recently appeared that were actually clues to the Riddler's last crime.

Batman keeps his eyes open to subtle clues that may be clues to the next crime. He successfully finds clues that lead him to the Corsica Glove Company. When the Riddler tries to rob the company, Batman is on hand to apprehend him. Riddler claims he wasn't the one who sent the clues, until he realizes that he must have sent them subconsciously while sleeping. Since his habit seems unbreakable, Riddler vows to come up with cleverer riddles next time.
