Synopsis:
The Suicide Squad returns home from Apokolips. Amanda Waller makes arrangements following Flo's death. Doctor Light is also dead. Count Vertigo nearly dies, but he is rushed to the infirmary and saved. Shade has been sent back to the Meta. Barda and the Forever People depart. Poison Ivy and Deadshot decide to stay. Bronze Tiger is called to Washington to explain to Sarge Steel why he disobeyed orders.

The rest of the team readjust to being back on Earth. The pie bomber strikes again. This time hitting Major Victory. Murph decides to solve the mystery once and for all. Several pies are found in Punch's locker. Jewelee and Waller both want to extract revenge on Punch, but he claims to have been framed. Murph agrees. Murph then solves the mystery pointing the finger at Captain Boomerang. The aussie confesses. Waller then has Boomerang dropped off on a desert island.
