Peacemaker continues his training of Blue Beetle, teaching him about pressure points on the human body before they are interrupted by an explosion at La Dama's house. Beetle and Peacemaker rush to the scene with Beetle concerned for La Dama's niece - and his best friend - Brenda. Brenda, though, is at the house of Hector and Nadia who act as Team Blue, providing intelligence for Beetle. Having discovered them, Brenda gets into their house only to find that they are monitoring her home. At La Dama's house, Beetle and Peacemaker arrive to find Giganta destroying the place. Brenda watches on the monitors as Beetle rescues her aunt only for both of them to be caught by Giganta. As Beetle asks for a tactic to defeat her, Brenda offers one over the intercom. Both Beetle and La Dama realise she now knows the truth about her aunt being the crime boss, La Dama. Understandably, Brenda storms from the house, convinced her friends have been lying to her.After Peacemaker tells Beetle Giganta's size changing is magically based, Beetle contacts Traci Thirteen for help. With her knowledge, he works out a plan and has Peacemaker identify Giganta's pressure points while he hits them as hard as he can, bringing her down. La Dama and Beetle realize they both need to talk with Brenda but in the meantime he has Nadia and Hector speak with her and then sends his mother to comfort her.
