Synopsis for "The Mortician, Part 2: Zombie Zero"
Batman tackles Keung Yuk to stop him from shooting at the zombies. He asks the Mortician whether they are really dead, and he answers, "They were," as Keung recognizes Viper among the horde. Batman wraps Keung and Viper in his rope and pulls them out through the window. Batman questions Keung, who says he didn't kill Viper but someone else did.
The Mortician calms down the horde and continues his resurrections, knowing Batman will be back. Batman, meanwhile, is chasing down the first zombie that has escaped Keung's brother. The zombie is arrested for Viper's murder, and Batman returns to the Mortician's house. He confronts the Mortician with what his work has led to, and he hands the Mortician the antitoxin and asks him if he's going to take care of the rest or Batman will. The horde attacks Batman, but the Mortician reluctantly gives the antitoxin to his parents. All the zombies are reburied.

Synopsis for "No Escape"
Years ago Bruce Wayne trained under the escape artist Max Dodge, but he never taught Bruce how to escape his ultimate gag: The Wheel, which he was forbidden from performing because it was too dangerous. Now Batman is caught in the same trap. The Riddler has threatened Dodge into helping him, and as Batman figures out how to escape, Dodge realizes the vigilante is his former apprentice. He shoves aside the Riddler's henchmen and shouts advice to Batman. The Riddler and his henchmen open fire, and though Batman escapes, he cannot save Dodge's life.
