Meanwhile, Catwoman wonders whether or not this 'groupie' she is fighting is a legitimate member of the Bat-Family. In the end, Catwoman tries to evade Batgirl by running into a meeting of the Gotham Hedonists Society - an all nude group meeting, leaving Barbara with a dilemma. Chase Catwoman at all costs or keep her identity (not to mention her clothes) and risk losing the notebook and its theif!
