"PROJECT NEW AMERICA — As the Injustice Society of America come one step closer to accomplishing their mission, Courtney and the JSA face-off with Icicle and the villains of the ISA."
Three minutes ago, a teacher rushes to break up a fight between Isaac Bowin and a bully, the latter using his tuba to bash the bully's head. The teacher scolds him, demanding a reason why, and an ominous Isaac says his mom told him to. The teacher doesn't buy it, and grabs his arm to walk him back when suddenly a tremor hits the area. The football field suddenly opens up to allow the three large satellites of the synaptic transmitter emerge. The largest one positions itself horizontally, and when they power up, emit shockwaves. The terrified students notice their teachers still and unresponsive.
All across town, adults have frozen in place. Jordan Mahkent comes across a young girl pleading for her father to move. She asks him what's going on, and he assures the girl her father will be alright. She asks what's wrong with her dad, and Jordan responds he and everyone else will think differently once it's over, good things to be specific. The girl retorts her father is already a good person, but he simply chuckles and utters she will see and leaves.
Stargirl barely dodges a punch from S.T.R.I.P.E., and desperately calls to him as he continues to attack. Beth calls to Courtney and checks on Barbara, but Steve Sharpe soothingly says she'll be okay once Brainwave's reprogramming is finished in 30 minutes. During his narration, Jordan arrives back to the ISA HQ and reviews the 26-min countdown. Steve informs Beth if Barbara is one of the unlucky one-in-four who fights too hard or too long and the central nervous system collapses, just as the aforementioned teacher falls dead. Brainwave continues to control Pat as S.T.R.I.P.E. chases after Stargirl, and she tearfully tells him it's Courtney, his daughter. The robot's fist stops in mid-air, as Pat visibly begins to fight back. In an impassioned speech, she declares he's always been there for her when she needed him and she needs him now. Pat begins to tear up. Wildcat asks what's wrong with Justin, and Hourman reveals Brainwave's got him. She yells at him that he's the Silent Knight, but is corrected by Hourman as the Shining Knight. Beth, freaking out, is confused why the bad guys aren't being affected. Chuck theories they're wearing a protective earpiece to block out the frequencies, and Beth questions if they can mimic them. The AI says he will need to examine such an earpiece. Stargirl announces that Pat's fighting it, but Beth warns her Pat could die. Hourman thinks they need help, but then Beth realizes she can hear them despite having previously encountered problems communicating in the tunnels. Chuck discovers several low frequency blockers in the tunnels, which have been turned off. Beth works out that they know the JSA's in the tunnels, and thinks they can turn them on. Steve dares her to hack into his systems, and overhears as Chuck recommends hacking into something he cares about - his money. Suddenly concerned, he witnesses Chuck and Beth drain all his accounts into various charity donations. With him distracted, the blockers have been turned on, but not for long. Dragon King notices something's wrong. Pat breaks free from the control and apologizes. He comments he heard every word, and Courtney clarifies she meant every word. Elsewhere, Justin victoriously declares he's free to play the dragon. Beth congratulates her best pal Chuck, which he responds likewise to her joy. However, she still worries about Barbara.
Steve notifies Jordan the JSA's there, to his existing knowledge. He tells him to get the others, as they'll finish this once and for all. Hourman tells Wildcat that after this is over, he's going to kill Solomon Grundy. Wildcat dubiously queries if it'll make him feel better, but he's insistent that he won't let it hurt any others or make another orphan. Wildcat says killing is wrong, but he rhetorically says who, God? Wildcat stays silent as Hourman in a tirade admits God shouldn't let bad things happen, like sending his parents through a tree. He warns her against stopping him.
The three meet with Stargirl and S.T.R.I.P.E. in Dragon King's lair, which is strangely empty. They ask where the machine is, and she points out the door when Jordan, Dragon King, Sportsmaster, and Tigress arrives, with the former announcing they will go no further. Courtney quizzes Jordan on no ice mask, and he responds he has nothing to hide, addressing her by her real name. Sportsmaster remarks his deja-vu, and Tigress adds how fun that night was. He says it's time to kill the JSA again. The two groups face off, and begin to charge.
A disgruntled Steve recommends some reinforcements, and remotely opens Solomon Grundy's door.
