Synopsis: - Gotham City slowly begins to recover from the devastating re-emergence of the Clench. Bruce Wayne's companies and others are desperately manufacturing the cure, while the city officials put a curfew in place in order to quell the rampant looting. Meanwhile, Ra's al Ghu's followers are causing chaos. A group of them storm the police department and are held back by Jim Gordon, Sarah Essen, Hendricks, Renée Montoya and Harvey Bullock; the even brings about a true reconciliation between Jim and Sarah. Batman and Robin are both depressed at the number of lives they are unable to save, particularly Robin, who has a young boy die in his arms as he rushes him to hospital. But Alfred urges them to consider the good they have done, and states unequivocally that everyone in Gotham owes them their lives.
