Synopsis:
Hippolyte and the Amazons host a delegation from the United Nations on Paradise Island. Each one of the delegates is given a tour according to their areas of interest and expertise. Wonder Woman notices that Penelope and Menalippe are behaving strangely. After Penelope starts a commotion with one of the guest religious leaders, Wonder Woman tries to track down Menalippe. She is led into a cavern guarded by mystical snakes which transform her body into wood. While undergoing the transformation, Wonder Woman sees Menalippe conspiring with Eris, the daughter of Ares.

A short time later, Menalippe and Diana return to the delegation while giving no sign of problems.
