* HeroicSacrifice: The amount of kinetic energy put out by Flash II and Impulse are not enough to stop the energy twister at the Earth's Magnetic North Pole.

** G. Gordon Godfrey's presence on Apokolips suggests that he is, in fact, Glorious Godfrey, a propagandist and political agitator for the New Gods of Apokolips. This is not an unexpected development (G. Gordon is a known alias of Godfrey's in the comics), but it shows that Darkseid's agents have been on Earth since at least the start of the season.

!!Episode 20: Endgame

Takes place on June 20, July 4 - 5

Miss Martian and Superboy arrive on Rimbor to use the evidence gathered to exonerate the 6 League members, but the verdict has already been made: guilty. However, they're able to convince the corrupt court that if they show how just they are by overturning the verdict, more people will come to their court, and that means more bribes.

The Team attacks the Reach. Black Beetle destroys Green Beetle's Scarab and tries to do the same to Blue Beetle, but it backfires and his own Scarab is destroyed. When their scarabs connected Blue Beetle learned the Reach's plan: they've deployed 20 drone-guarded devices around the world. They are causing disasters and will use the magnetic field to destroy Earth.

Meanwhile as the Leaguers on Rimbor head home the planet receives a message from Savage: he will no longer tolerate alien incursions to Earth. He then flies by in the [=WarWorld=].

Lex Luthor has made a computer virus that can shut down the devices so the not-busy League members, the Team, and even the Runaways stop them. However they missed one and it's already activated. Flash, Impulse and Kid Flash run counter clockwise to the device so the energy will bleed into their speed trails. Unfortunately, since Kid Flash is slower than the other two energy hits him and he begins to fade away. He tells Flash to tell Artemis and his family that he loves them. [[TearJerker *sniff* At this point the screen gets blurry for some reason.]]

The world saved, the Reach are taken by the Green Lanterns to face trial on Oa. The Leaguers from Rimbor return. Luthor has been made head of the UN. Virgil, now "Static" has joined the Team with Black Lightning as his mentor. The other Runaways (save Arsenal, who remains a solo act) have quit the hero gig. Impulse has become the new Kid Flash and Artemis has changed her identity to Tigress. Robin and Wonder Girl are now dating. Miss Martian and Superboy flirt. Nightwing decides to take a break and the Team now shares the Watchtower with the League.

Meanwhile, the [=WarWorld=] approaches Apokolips. Vandal Savage and Godfrey approach Darkseid. Savage and Darkseid shake hands, Savage proclaiming, "Business as usual."

Or it would've been if this wasn't the final episode.
