PLOT:
The vigilante, criminal murdering Batman of Earth 51 strikes a bond with Jason Todd in the Bat-Bunker. Hippolyta, Holly and Harley meet up with Mary Marvel and begin to plan how to defeat the imposter Athena (Granny Goodness).
Forerunner prepares to fight the monitors but instead finds herself face to face with Superman Prime.
Karate Kid and Una are still trapped within the bowels of Brother Eye as it heads to it's destination while Buddy and his grandson are presumably left in the Command-D bunker.
Finally, Ray Palmer reveals that while on Earth-51 he discovered a deadly virus named Morticoccus that only himself (and presumably all of the other Ray Palmers) were immune to. So he has been traveling
throughout the 52 universes inoculating people in order to give those Earths a "fighting chance" should the virus make its way there. The Atom symbols left on the skin of people from the multiple earths, which the Challengers
initially used to track Ray Palmer, is revealed to be Ray's Calling card. Each person marked with the Atom symbol had been given the anti-virus for the Morticoccus strain.
