Season Four rolls on...
- Ooh, it's a creepy "Hunter's Moon"! We get more cameos (Crimson Fox, Blue Devil) and a romantic moment between GL and Vixen (Gina Torres) before she, Shayera, and Vigilante (Nathan Fillian--hey, a Firefly reunion, and they even made Nathan a cowboy) are sent on a space rescue mission. Unfortunately, it's a trap set by Thanagarian baddie Paran Dui (Elizabeth Pena). They're ambushed and the Javelin is destroyed (how much money does Bruce Wayne have, anyway?). The Thanagarian war ended in the other guys favor, and Shayera's a war criminal. Our heroes are on the run, and after a battle, Vixen is captured. She offers up Shayera in exchange (keep in mind she's GL's girlfriend, Shayera is his ex..) It's a scam to get into the villain's ship, but she's found out. Fortunately, Vig is on the case after stealing a scout ship. Bad girl and Vixen fight it out, as do Shayera and mecha-Thanagarian (very anime). It's a rout, and the heroes return. Another slew of cameos (Obsidian, Waverider, Zatanna, Dove, Hourman, Gypsy, Vibe, Rocket Red, Red Tornado), then GL realizes the two girls have bonded--oops.
- When a secret could destroy the League, it's time to "Question Authority". We'll get the that in a minute, but first, Clark and Lois have some "quiet time"--a picnic on top of a bridge. She questions him about the power of the League (especially in the last few episodes). Some knowing looks, and--sorry, kids, onto the other story. The Question and Huntress are hacking records and breaking heads. A shot of the computer screen has several DC references (Multiverse, Flashpoint). The Question realizes what's about to happen (the Justice Lords, etc), and has to stop it. The Question confronts Clark, who tries to convince him it won't happen here, so he decides to take out Luthor himself--but now Lex seems to be "super" as well. The Question is tortured, and a worried Huntress contacts Clark via Jimmy's signal-watch (nice touch). They team up to spring Question from Cadmus, only to find Captain Atom is working for the bad guys(?)....
- ...which takes us into "Flashpoint". Cap and Clark have it out while Huntress gets Question out of Cadmus. Back at the Watchtower, Clark's ready to take out Cadmus once and for all, but the conscience of the League--GA and Flash--argue the point, along with Kara and J'onn. Lex is ready for the battle--he takes over the Watchtower and fires the megaweapon at Cadmus--taking out his rival and making the League look like warmongers. The President's not happy! Waller managed to move Cadmus before the attack, and advises him to get ready for the next battle. The heroes survey the damage--more and more civilians no longer trust them (although they accept their help). Waller is tired of waiting for the President to strike, so she calls in Galatea (aka Power Girl) and a whole phlanx of Ultimen. This is going to get good...
