When the Mutant Leader is captured, his followers threaten the Founder's Gala, with Stephanie among the hostages, forcing the team to pull off a rescue.
Tropes
- All for Nothing: How Carrie feels after the Mutant Leader is set free after all she did to capture him, and she wonders what she's fighting for.
- Deadly Gas: Mayor Hill is murdered by the Court of Owls using poison gas in his car for bungling the orders they gave him.
- Gone Horribly Right: Cullen poses as a cop to get some information. It works perfectly...so much so that he's pulled into a full meeting with other cops on the hostage situation.
- Impersonating an Officer: Cullen dresses as a GCPD officer with Duela's help to retrieve evidence she wants from a police station.
- Internal Reveal: Stephanie reveals to Carrie she's also working with Turner and the others.
- Names to Run Away from Really Fast: As Cullen lampshades, this is invoked by the Mutant Gang to make themselves sound scary, despite not being literal mutants.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Duela mocks Carrie on how she let the GCPD take credit for her capturing the Mutant Leader, meaning the Mutants are now targeting the city for revenge instead of targeting her.
- We Are Everywhere: Going through the jewels they stole from the Mutants who stole them from the gala guests, the gang is stunned to find several watches with the Court of Owls symbol and realizes the Court is more pervasive than they thought.
- You Said You Would Let Them Go: The Mutant Gang plan to kill the hostages even after getting what they want, having promised previously they'd be spared. However, thankfully the hostages are saved anyway.
