He doubted the US Treasury Department would go for it. We find out in this episode that they did, to Zatanna's amusement.

Paul lives a few days without his ring to prove that he is trustworthy to the Justice League. He goes to have breakfast with Zatara, Zatanna, and Father Mattias and explains how he was able to separate himself from the Ophidian. He also has Zatara check if he has a soul, which Zatara confirms.

In the Renegade timeline, Renegade!OL tries to mend fences with Robin. He later has a lovely date with Jade, revealing that he has decided on calling himself Grayven. He gives her an improved Velocity 9, a scanner, and reunites her with her maternal grandmother. Their visit takes an awkward turn when Grandma Nguyen asks when they're getting married.

confirms. Visiting the Watchtower for the first time, Paul is able to remove the brand from Martian Manhunter, and inform Hawkman that without the Ophidian, he isn't able to make any more Nth metal. Back in the Mountain, he and the other Team members try out the kinetic belts that the Ophidian copied from the superhero Rocket, allowing them to fly and ignore kinetic impacts.

More disruptively, he informs Wonder Woman that contrary to her expectations, Zeus has continued his adulterous ways in recent years, producing a half-mortal daughter just eight years old. He also attends dinner with Lex Luthor, learning that Lex has hired Nyssa al-Ghul to research the Danner formula along with the enhancile Arnold Munro.

Since his tattoo-based soul has stabilised, Paul visits John Constantine again, and has a further set of tattoos carved on his soul, making him immune to magical scrying (and standard power ring scans). Unbeknownst to him at the time, they even make him invisible to gods, causing his oath to Gaia to lose effect.

In the alternate timeline, the Renegade timeline, Renegade!OL tries to mend fences with Robin. Robin, partly sincerely and partly as revenge for destroying technology he wanted to collect. He later has a lovely date with Jade, revealing that he has decided on calling himself Grayven. Grayven, and has used his captured Father Box to resculpt his body; although still large and strong, he's more naturally proportioned and has regained full skin sensation. He gives her an improved Velocity 9, a scanner, an Apokoliptian scanner that pierces magic disguises, and reunites her with her maternal grandmother. Their visit takes an awkward turn when Grandma Nguyen asks when they're getting married.
