While waiting to board a plane with her husband Ralph, Sue Dibny sees him with another woman. Ralph claims the other woman is his wife and leaves Sue behind. Sue ponders the mystery while the Elongated Man takes down three hired killers and tracks one of them to their boss. After defeating the crooks, Ralph apologizes to Sue. While he was away, Sue deduced that Ralph's ruse was done to protect her from danger. The other woman was really a policewoman. Sue gets even by making Ralph buy her an expensive coat.
