Synopsis:
When the Suicide Squad returns from Russia, Dr. LaGrieve worries about the team members. Amanda Waller takes out her anger on Dexter Tolliver, the Squad's NSC liaison. Tolliver then puts a plan in motion to protect his own interests.

Rick Flag is also angry when a rescue mission to save Nemesis is not considered. An argument with Waller and Karin Grace causes new team member Mark Shaw to punch Flag. Waller then temporarily relieves him of command.

The Bronze Tiger is put in charge of the team. He takes the Enchantress to visit Madame Xanadu. She gives him a necklace and ring that will prevent the Enchantress from going out of control. However, Xanadu warns that the witch will become more powerful and begin merging with June's persona.

A counseling session between LaGrieve's associate Marnie Herrs and Deadshot leads to an argument. The two then share a kiss, before Deadshot storms out. Both agree to keep the incident quiet.

Finally, Captain Boomerang has assumed the costume and equipment of the late Mirror Master. He begins a crime spree in New Orleans.
