Thanks to a warning from Silver Swan's pen pal, Maxine Sterenbuch, Wonder Woman deflects Buchman's shot. Wonder Woman takes Silver Swan away from the charity fair but not before the deluded girl does serious damage. The two fight it out over the Atlantic Ocean. When trapped by Wonder Woman, Silver Swan panics, letting loose a scream powerful enough blast the combatants miles apart, nearly killing herself. The police recover the stolen receipts but the thieves escape with the computer chips.
Diana tells Steve about her meeting with the spirit of the his mother and gives him his mother's service revolver. Vanessa is jealous of Barry's interest in Wonder Woman but she is relieved when Diana confides that she has strange feelings of attraction for Superman. Myndi Mayer arranges a meting with Superman via Clark Kent.
Hermes is viciously pursued and attacked by unknown forces.
