Vandal Savage has confronted Luthor in his boardroom after sabotaging the building, but Luthor has worked out a deal with the Secret Six, summoning them to rescue him. Monique, one of Luthor's employees, reactivates RoboLois, reveals that she is being controlled by Mr. Mind, and asks her what happened when they met earlier. But RoboLois has her own agenda, separate from the person controlling Mr. Mind and from Luthor. She and the Six fight with Savage over a detonator, which results in RoboLois being cleaved in half, Savage's daughter Scandal injured, and the detonator triggered.
