Summary
The female members of Young Justice travel to Bialya on a reconnaissance mission, while Blue Beetle tries to help a friend.
Our Take
A mostly self-contained mission episode that gives the show’s underused women the spotlight, and they earn it. Miss Martian, Batgirl, and Bumblebee get real character beats instead of just fight scenes, and the Bialya scenes have a nice uneasy tension. The Blue Beetle subplot is thinner but does its job setting up future trouble. One of season two’s stronger hours, worth the time.
