** The Enchantress uses her mental abilities to find out what several of the Squad's members want most of all (Harley wants to be married to the Joker, Deadshot wants to kill Batman, Rick Flag wants his girlfriend June Moon to no longer be possessed by the Enchantress and Diablo wants his family to be alive again) and offers to fulfill the wishes. She doesn't offer anything to Killer Croc, Captain Boomerang or Katana. Subverted when the Squad refuses the Enchantress's offer.
** At the end, Amanda Waller, the person in charge of the Squad, realizes that she needs to give the criminal members more than just a reduction in sentence to keep them docile. When Deadshot demands to be allowed to see his daughter, Waller agrees and asks the others what they want. Harley asks for an espresso machine and Killer Croc asks to be allowed to watch BET (Black Entertainment Television), both of which are granted. When Captain Boomerang demands to be allowed to leave the Squad entirely, Waller refuses and he gets nothing.
