Chapter Two:"One Weak Link"

Synopsis:
While waiting outside the office of the school psychologist Dr. Pauling, Johnny Adler overhears the doctor recommending a brain operation to a student who has trouble studying. Fearing the doctor, Johnny leaves the office. Then he is attacked by a group of students who are being mind-controlled. Johnny takes refuge in a small cabin, but he is unable to reach help until Wally West comes to campus on a college tour. Wally helps Johnny, then leaves to bring in the Titans.

When the Titans arrive on campus, they find that Johnny has been captured and forced to have the brain operation too. Now he is part of the student group controlled by Paulson, who orders the Titans attacked. While the Titans battle the students, Johnny overcomes his programming and goes after Paulson. He gets Paulson to issue a desist order to the students. After Paulson is arrested, the damage to the students' minds is reversed.
