Synopsis:
Tina visits her husband Jerry in the hospital. Then breaks up with Wally due to her rejuvenated feelings for her husband. Jerry is then visited by Dr. Orloff and Conrad Bortz. The meeting is interrupted by a member of Blue Trinity who tries to abduct Orloff. Wally, still lacking super-speed, is beaten again when he walks in on the attack. However, the Russian breaks off the fight when he receives orders from his government.

Wally returns home to find an eviction notice left by Mr. Gilchrist. The landlord then calls him asking for help to retrieve his daughter who was kidnapped by Vandal Savage.
