Episode 5: Beneath

Takes place on February 18 - 20

An all-girl team (composed of Wonder Girl, Batgirl, Miss Martian and Bumblebee) is sent to the nation of Bialya to investigate Queen Bee's new operation (since her mind control powers mostly work on men). Despite being found out, the heroines rescue some (but not all) of several teenage runaways, who had been kidnapped by the villains for unknown purposes.

One of the kidnapped teens was Tye Longshadow, a Native American friend of Jaime Reyes (Blue Beetle) who was looking for him, thinking he had been kidnapped by his mother's boyfriend. He's still a prisoner.

Notes:

  • The Longshadows are a reference to Apache Chief from the Super Friends show. Long Shadow was an Ultiman, based on Apache Chief, that appeared in Justice League Unlimited. Additionally, the other children still in captivity include an Asian, an African-American, and someone of indeterminate ethnicity. Smart money says he's Hispanic.
  • Psimon has recovered from the coma Miss Martian put him in. He's still working for Bee.
  • Queen Bee kidnapped the kids for an unknown villain, likely the same one who has been hinted at in previous episodes.
  • It appears that at some point between seasons, Queen Bee fulfilled her promise made in the last season to claim Qurac as her own, though Word of God says this was unintentional.
