PLOT:
Marcel Pincus, after being granted a second-chance by Penguin following his previous run-in with a female vigilante in purple, hears about the Spoiler breaking up a shake-down at a local convenience store and assumes that the woman in question is Violet. He relays this information to Penguin who tells Marcel to bring the vigilante to him.

After stopping by to console Ives over his recent cancer diagnosis, Tim once again finds himself face to face with Detectives Wise and Cavallo. After being bumped to Major Case Squad following the Maxie Zeus bust, they want Robin to investigate a high-end counterfeiting ring. If he refuses, they threaten to use their new positions to jeopardize the career of Robin's friend Detective Harper.

Marcel once again finds himself face to face with Violet. The purple lady demands the location of more of Pincus' cash. After walking away from his confrontation with Violet, Marcel is stopped by the boy Wonder who accuses Pincus of having a hand in the laundering of the counterfeit cash. After crashing his van into the Redbird, Pincus gives Robin the same location he gave Violet. As Tim drives away in his busted car, he is followed by Spoiler on bike. Marcel sees the second costumed hero and phones Penguin with the information.

Robin arrives at the fish market and intercepts Violet before she can take off with the cash stashed underneath the ice. Violet tangles with Robin but the fight is cut short when Spoiler steps in and delivers a boot to Violet's jaw. Spoiler tries to explain to Robin that he had stepped into a trap but Tim won't listen. He is enraged over the fact that someone would dare disgrace the costume of the Spoiler. He demands to know the identity of the Spoiler but before he can find out they are interrupted by the arrival of North Korean mafia-man, Sin Fang who threatens to kill them both.
