Synopsis for "The House of Hush, Chapter Two: The Reunions"

Harley Quinn hears a voice commanding her to commit a robbery and she begins to sleepwalk. She strikes Selina Kyle when she notices her odd behavior, and goes to blow up a safe with a missile launcher, but Batman tackles her before she can. Selina believes the Batman is Dick Grayson, and when he tells her he’s Bruce instead, she throws herself into his arms for a passionate kiss.

Batman explains that every night there are more sleepwalkers like Harley, who commit robberies controlled by bugs and drop the loot in as yet unknown location before waking up without any idea what they’ve done. He still doesn’t know who is behind it, and also, Hush has vanished after his car accident. Despite the fact that “Bruce Wayne” was almost certainly the target, there has been no ransom demand. Selina understands he needs to handle his current crises, but warns him not to keep her waiting for too long.

Hush wakes from a memory of his parents’ arguments over Judson Pierce, who ruined them, inside a cell. Pierce believes him to be Bruce Wayne and tells him how he bankrupted his maternal grandfather and came into conflict with his mother over the Thompkins Clinic. On the day Sallie Guzzo was going to have Martha Kane and Leslie Thompkins killed, Thomas Wayne happened to visit to apologize to Martha for throwing up on her shoes, and his driver Alfred fought off the criminals.

Pierce decides against telling him more and intends to kill him, but Hush frees himself from his handcuffs and overcomes Pierce, Little Italy, and Mr. ZZZ. He shows Pierce the surgical scars across his face, proving he isn’t the real Bruce, and declares that they are going to destroy the Wayne legacy together.

Synopsis for Ragman in "Ashes to Ashes, Part One: Smoldering Embers"

Ragman rescues the residents of an apartment building fire, the second in as many weeks in Robbinsville, and reads from Mr. Takahoshi’s clothing that someone set the fire deliberately. Mayor Hady blames the fires on the buildings being old and in disrepair, and he singles out the Rags n’ Tatters Junk Shop as tenants that should sell to a developer for gentrification. Rory Regan refuses and continues to his first day at the GCPD where his first task is to move a body from the river. Meanwhile, Firefly gets into a dispute with his employers, but declares the money doesn't matter as much as watching the whole city burn—starting with Robbinsville.
