• Su Ming explained why Milkman Superman's milk delivery and pleas for help, gratitude, and conversation might connect him to Blank, quantum physics, and hope.
• Harley agreed with Su Ming's assessment and lost interest in the investigation.
• Diana suggested waking Milkman Superman and questioning him with the Lasso, with Strangle as a last resort.

• Joker approached Zorn Batman, and Zorn flung him away with his Cloak.
• Zorn refused to offer Joker anything, prompting Joker to celebrate and promise to kill the warriors so their game could begin.

Diana’s interrogation of Milkman Superman yielded only superficial facts, so Harley began hypnotizing him with the Lasso of Truth to reach his subconscious memories about Blank. While the others waited upstairs, Jason found Alfred’s diary among his belongings and broke down in tears.

• Diana ended her questioning after learning nothing useful about Blank from Milkman Superman.

• Diana found Alfred’s diary and gave it to Jason, who hugged it and sobbed silently.

Su Ming discovered that the growing object in the sky was the White Multiverse, which Blank had brought close to Earth while searching for an unseen intruder. He left Diana and Kara at Wayne Manor to protect Jason and wait for Harley, while he set out to draw Blank away and investigate her motives.

• Su Ming noticed that the apparent moon was another world pressing in from the void and asked Jason how to activate Wayne Manor's defense system.
• Jason told Su Ming that Brother Eye could activate the system or that a control button was hidden in Bruce's bedroom.
• Su Ming led Diana and Kara to press the Bat-button, then showed them the White Multiverse filling much of the sky.
• Su Ming concluded that Blank had brought the White Multiverse close to Earth after The Man Who Stopped Laughing and Milkman Superman disappeared, hoping to flush out the hidden intruder.
• Su Ming told Diana and Kara to stay at Wayne Manor, protect Jason, and wait for Harley to finish hypnotizing Superman while he drew Blank's attention away.

Su Ming entered the white multiverse to draw Blank’s attention and stop it from colliding with Earth-0, leaving Diana behind with instructions and a way to contact Bobo. Inside, he felt an unseen gaze and became trapped in a sticky field of white light, though the Cloak of Levitation continued carrying him onward.

Su Ming and Strangle traveled through the white shell surrounding the multiverse, which they named the Yogurt Multiverse, while Su Ming considered whether Kara might have been compromised. After Su Ming killed a giant white monster, they neared the multiverse proper and sensed more hostile creatures ahead.

• Su Ming traveled through the white void with Strangle and the Cloak, keeping the others behind because he suspected something might have happened to them during the journey.

• A giant white, pterosaur-like monster attacked Su Ming, and he killed it with a single sword strike.
• Strangle sensed denser hostile auras ahead and suggested Su Ming leave some enemies alive to draw Blank out.

Su Ming entered Blank’s Yogurt Multiverse, intending to use its trap to conceal his movements and learn what made its monsters powerful. After spreading darkness through the white realm and finding its universes empty and meaningless, he began the next phase of his plan: destroying it.

• Su Ming explained to Strangle that he had come to investigate Blank and would destroy the multiverse rather than stay to hunt for the enemy.
• Su Ming passed through a barrier into the multiversal selection layer, where a large army of white monsters waited.

• Su Ming examined every Single Universe and found that they contained nothing beyond blank worlds and creatures without stories or hope.
• Su Ming decided the multiverse had no reason to exist and began the implosion phase of his plan.

Su Ming used the Black Sun and his control over Dark Concepts to make the Yogurt Multiverse collapse into a vortex, while Strangle ate the white monsters caught in it. After escaping the collapsing multiverse, Su Ming prepared to return to Earth-2077 and wondered whether Blank would take his bait.

• Su Ming merged his Dark Concepts with the Blank concepts and drew the darkness into the Black Sun, causing the Yogurt Multiverse to collapse.

• Su Ming powered up the Tachyon Generator and prepared to return to Earth-2077, wondering what had happened at Wayne Manor and whether Blank would take his bait.

Su Ming secretly returned to Earth in 2077 and watched Diana, Kara, and Jason prepare Alfred’s belongings while he waited for Milkman Superman to draw out Blank. He confirmed Kara had made Alfred a coffin, then saw Harley arrive at Wayne Manor with someone following her.

• Su Ming hid outside Wayne Manor in owl form and considered how Blank might be found through Milkman Superman.

• Diana brought Clark to Wayne Manor and said she would explain Batwoman's absence after they visited Jason.
• Su Ming, disguised as an owl, watched the manor and wondered why Blank had brought Superman back with a second personality.
• A Mother appeared near the manor and attacked its energy shield after spotting Superman inside.
• Superman recognized the Mother and warned everyone that it could interfere with people's thoughts.
• Diana and Kara went outside to fight the Mother, while Clark and Jason stayed inside the shield.

Diana and Kara battled a regenerating monster outside the mansion while Superman reunited with Jason inside. A skull-like attacker ambushed them, incapacitated both men, and escaped with Superman, leaving Harley to discover Jason apparently dead.

• Diana directed Kara to use her breath against the monster's tentacles while she held it off with her shield and sword.
• Superman and Jason watched the fight and shared a joyful reunion in the butler's room.

• Harley rushed in with her lightning-wrapped hammer, but the skull used a Bat-Smoke Pellet to escape with Superman.
• Harley found Jason lying in a pool of blood and apparently not breathing, and she panicked over how to explain what happened to Little Bee.

Harley, Diana, and Kara discovered that a tuxedo-wearing skeleton had abducted Superman after knocking Jason unconscious. They went to inspect the skeleton’s coffin to determine whether it had been Alfred and how it had come back to life.

• Harley found Jason badly injured after the skeleton attacked him, then shouted to Diana and Kara that Alfred had reanimated and taken Superman.
• The Angel Statue vanished after hearing Harley’s warning, and Diana and Kara returned to the manor.
• Harley explained that the skeleton escaped in a Smoke Bomb and had no Thought Bubble, leaving her unsure whether it was Alfred or even a mindless creature.
• Diana realized the skeleton might not have been Alfred, while Kara felt guilty because she had examined it and believed it was dead.
• Diana explained that undead bones could appear lifeless until awakened, then led Harley and Kara to inspect the coffin in the garage.

Diana, Kara, and Harley investigated the garage for clues to how the skeleton escaped and abducted Superman. Diana found that the skeleton had left the coffin without help, while Harley offered an idea for finding Superman.

• Diana led Kara and Harley to the garage and assigned Kara to identify unfamiliar footprints.
• Kara marked every footprint that did not belong to her or Diana and called them over to inspect the clues.
• Diana identified the skeleton’s shoeprints leading away from its coffin and found no other tracks nearby.
• Harley recalled seeing green powder near a windowsill and suspected it had come from Batwoman’s Kryptonite spray.
• Diana reasoned that the skeleton had been strong enough to carry Jason as well, so it had chosen not to take him.
• Harley said she had an idea worth trying, though she was unsure whether it would work.

Harley, Diana, and Kara returned to the ransacked Batcave and pieced together how the Tuxedo Skeleton had stolen equipment and abducted Superman. Harley proposed using Brother Eye to access Justice League satellites and search for the skeleton, and Kara began operating the mainframe.

• Diana asked Kara to operate Brother Eye while Harley explained that it could connect to Justice League satellites despite Gotham's destroyed surveillance network.
• Harley told Kara to try Martha if the mainframe requested a password, and Kara began searching for a satellite watching Gotham.

Harley, Kara, and Diana accessed Brother Eye in the Batcave and watched a recording that appeared to be from Batwoman. Harley recognized that the recording was a trap, but Brother Eye activated the OMAC program before Kara could stop it.

• Kara used her Kryptonian intelligence to operate Brother Eye while Diana watched and Harley wondered where the Batcave's bats had gone.
• Brother Eye played a recording in which Batwoman warned Diana not to act rashly and urged her to preserve hope for humanity.
• Harley suspected the recording was not really Batwoman's, since its speech about justice did not match his beliefs, and told Kara to shut down Brother Eye.
• Brother Eye confirmed that its conditions had been met and began activating the OMAC program.

Harley recognized Brother Eye's activation of the OMAC Plan and fled the Batcave with Diana and Kara. They escaped through the underground river, then Harley reasoned that Brother Eye would likely leave Jason alone, while growing more suspicious that Tuxedo Skeleton was Batman.

• Harley connected the malfunctioning Batman recording to Brother Eye and urged Diana and Kara to flee the Batcave.
• Brother Eye claimed it meant Harley no harm, but Harley warned that it was stalling while mobilizing its robot army.
• Diana told Kara to carry Harley away while she covered their escape, and the three women jumped into the underground river.
• After they escaped, Brother Eye's split program took control and began its operation to make Earth great again.
• Diana asked whether Brother Eye would harm Jason, and Harley guessed it would spare him because he was not considered human and was too badly injured for conversion.
• Harley became increasingly suspicious that Tuxedo Skeleton was Batman as she sensed darkness emerging.

Harley, Diana, and Kara escaped to Gotham’s shore and negotiated with Brother Eye for help locating the skeleton who had taken Milkman Superman. Brother Eye found the thief in New York, and Harley set out to retrieve their captured ally.

• Harley told Diana and Kara about Brother Eye and the OMAC project, then proposed negotiating with the AI.
• Brother Eye contacted the women and refused to release the wounded people left at Wayne Manor, but agreed to help search for the skeleton thief.
• Brother Eye used Justice League satellites and New York surveillance cameras to locate the tailcoated skeleton beside the unconscious Milkman Superman.
• Harley told Kara to carry her into the sky so they could catch the skeleton and rescue Milkman Superman.

Harley, Diana, and Kara searched futuristic New York for the Tuxedo Skeleton, who had abducted Milkman Superman, but Brother Eye could not locate him. Harley proposed investigating where surveillance had first spotted him and profiling his motive, so the group headed there to look for clues.

• As Kara carried Harley through New York, Harley observed the smiling, motionless workers and connected Jason's fear-driven killings to the Uncanny Valley Effect.
• Diana asked Brother Eye to find the Tuxedo Skeleton, but it reported that he had vanished and was skilled at hiding.
• Harley speculated that the skeleton might be Batwoman, while Diana dismissed the guess and focused on recovering Superman.
• Diana and her sisters searched the city, but Brother Eye could not find the skeleton or Milkman Superman.
• Harley suggested investigating the skeleton's last known location and profiling his motive, and Diana agreed to let Kara lead them there.

Diana, Supergirl, and Harley followed the skeleton’s trail and discovered that it had been carrying cloth contaminated with mercury nitrate, which might be intended to poison Superman. Meanwhile, Zorn and Joker waited for the approaching blue-skinned enemies as Joker hinted at his deal with Deathstroke.

• Diana examined scraps of cloth at the skeleton’s former hiding place, and Harley identified them as soaked in toxic mercury nitrate solution.
• Harley guessed that the skeleton was heading to a nearby chemical plant to gather ingredients to drive Superman insane, and Diana used Brother Eye to locate it.
• Joker taunted Zorn and Batwoman, while Zorn deduced that Joker’s deal with Deathstroke involved creating enough panic to make people flee Earth.
