* "Alienated": Aqualad is evil!
* "Depths": Artemis dies...but then she doesn't! Aqualad isn't really evil, he's just a [[TheMole mole]] under ''deep'' cover - and only Artemis, Wally, Dick and Kaldur know! M'gann and Superboy broke up because she tried to erase his memory of being mad at her for manipulating people's minds!
* "Darkest":
** Kaldur explodes Mount Justice, and Wally starts to wonder whether he's truly a double agent or if he's truly turned.

* "Before the Dawn":
** Blue Beetle is the villain in the future.
** Miss Martian comes across Kaldur whilst the team are rescuing their captured members, and ''[[MistakenlyAttackedMole proceeds to mind rape him in response to him killing Artemis]]'', leading to her finding out that he's really TheMole and that Artemis is still alive, leaving herself and Kaldur catatonic.
* "True Colors": not only is Psimon going to be combing through Aqualad's thoughts, but the Light are aware of the runaways' location and want to form them into their own young team.

* "Summit": Aqualad and Artemis are exposed as moles...and then reveal the Light's duplicity, break the Light and the Reach's alliance, incapacitate both the Brain and Black Manta, and get the Reach Ambassador removed from his position in addition to using the meeting to arrange an EngineeredPublicConfession that destroys the Reach's VillainWithGoodPublicity act. The Light just gained the War World and the Reach wants to destroy Earth.
* "Endgame": Wally gets KilledOffForReal, and ComicBook/{{Darkseid}} makes his ''Young Justice'' debut.
* "True Heroes": Tara is working for the Light and has just infiltrated the Outsiders.
* "Antisocial Pathologies": Jeff and Gar learn of the BenevolentConspiracy consisting of Bruce, Dick, Barbara, Tim, Diana, Kaldur, and M'gann. Additionally, Jace turned out to be EvilAllAlong, was gaslighting Violet to get her away from Brion, and was used to test Granny's theory that Violet could access the Anti-Life Equation. Upon learning that she is and this is why Granny Goodness wanted her, ComicBook/VandalSavage realizes that he's been played and he should've [[VideoGame/JusticeLeagueHeroes "Never trust[ed] Darkseid"]]. Jeff quits the team in disgust after seeing that all of the Anti-Light (except the in-space Diana) don't regret their actions and learning of Jace's duplicity.
* "Nevermore": It turns out the heroes knew that Tara was the spy the entire time, and convince her to disobey Deathstroke's orders and not kill either Baron Delamb or Beast Boy. However, in rage of the revelation and anger at Delamb, Brion executes Delamb and announces himself King of Markovia, and it is later revealed that he was emotionally manipulated by the Markovian ambassador, a metahuman and a secret agent of the Light. But thanks to Cyborg's hacking, the Team was able to reveal Lex's secret control of his company and his part in creating Infinite Inc., and alongside Superboy revealing Luthor's work in Cadmus, removes him from his position in the United Nations. The Anti-Light then reveals their BenevolentConspiracy to the allied heroes, before electing Black Lightning to be the new leader of the League. And during the celebration at Bilbo's diner, a waitress is seen with [[ComicBook/LegionOfSuperheroes a Legion ring]].
