Synopsis:
Aquaman has taken command of the Atlantean resistance movement. His spies confirm that their foes are really sentient jellyfish. He devises a poison to kill them. Although a timetable is established to execute the resistance attack, the escape of Mera from the asylum complicates matters. She exposes the group during an attempt to reach Aquaman. He gives the order to the resistance members then confronts Mera. The queen blames Aquaman for the death of her son and attacks him. Aquaman leads her on a chase through the city, while the resistance triumphs. The chase concludes in the throne room. While trying to defend himself, Aquaman accidentally causes Mera to become impaled on a piece of debris.
