Episode 21: Image
Takes place on November 22 - 23
The leader of the Nation called Qurac, situated next to the dictator-run Bialya, has just announced plans to "reunite" the two countries under the evil Queen Bee's rule. Suspecting mind-control, Batman has the team (minus Artemis, Zatanna and Aqualad) go in to investigate. The plan goes awry, though, when they're forced to save a young boy and his mother, the latter of whom Megan seems to know and idolize. This is because she's a former actress who played the character of Megan on a TV show, on whom she based her current form. M'gann is then mind-raped by Psimon, who discovers her true form and forces her to face her greatest fear - that the others will reject her if they ever discover she is a White Martian.
Notes:
- The Hello, Megan! TV show is finally shown directly after some hints or teases in previous episodes.
- It is implied that Beast Boy will gain his powers through a blood transfusion from Miss Martian.
- Miss Martian's identity as a White Martian is confirmed.
- The TV actors have counterparts (or at least namesakes) in the comics, where they really were actors before taking up costumed identities. One example is Rita Farr, the superhero Elasti-Girl of the Doom Patrol. The exception is the original Megan herself, but she's the mother of the future Beast Boy.
- Blackmail: Queen Bee begins blackmailing M'gann to cooperate with The Light.
