PLOT:
A confused Catwoman realized she had blood on her goggles and gloves.
Sam Bradley (in the SmartBomb costume) got his father to the hospital. Black Mask had carved a message to Catwoman on his chest. He and Selina had coffee. Afterwards, she checked her mail. In it, there was an envelope which simply read "Selina" and had a drawing of a cat's face. The envelop contained pictures of Holly. She flipped out and went searching for her friend. Holly blew her off.
Sam's superior told him he was going to take the fall - probably prison time - for blowing the undercover and going in (in costume) for his father. Selina realized she needed to talk to someone, so she called Sam when their conversation was over, her phone rang and it was played back for her. Black Mask was prepared. They met for lunch and argued over which of them was going to "execute" the plan.
Catwoman watched as the SmartBomb suit exploded in mid-flight - someone had sabotaged it. She went to Slam's bedside and told him what she planned to do (he was still unconscious). Using one of the police blimps, she burst into Black Mask's office. At gunpoint, he told her he planned for them to be "arch enemies." Of course, he'd have to kill everyone she cared about. Catwoman got the best of him and put a pistol to his head. She fired.
