"You Don't Have to Make it Look that Good".

Welcome to the second part of 'The Fix' trilogy. Not to much to say, so let's get into the meat shall we.

Artemis and Slade start to go to work once Me'gan and La'gaan are alone to discuss their relationship after he notices that she has been spending more time with Conner, recently. It's not explained how Slade and Artemis got to Me'gan so quickly as she and La'gaan had only just transported to that location once La'gaan suggest that they talk alone, but one could make a very thin argument that Artemis knows which transporter Me'gan usually takes once the mission is finished. I suppose it could have been the third or fourth place that Slade and Artemis checked, it's not like either of them are oblivious to the fact that to get a job done right, sometimes it requires a lot of patience. A small point, but one I thought should be addressed.

Once the attack begins, Slade goes after La'gaan immediately as Artemis starts shooting at Me'gan.

Me'gan does seem confused at this, but Artemis explains the whole situation and tells her to make it convincing.

After Slade knocks outs La'gaan, he and Artemis capture Me'gan with ease.

Being awoken by Manta, Me'gan is tied to a chair with a Belle Reve collar inhibiting her powers until Manta decides to turn her telepathic powers, but only the telepathic. Manta concludes by saying that Slade has a camera in the room so if anything suspicious occurs, she'll lose her head.

Artemis positions Me'gan toward Kaldur and tells her to get on with it. Telepathically, Me'gan says she can't mend a mind, she has only been able to break them. Giving one last to a mirror in the room to remind herself of her purpose, Artemis says that Me'gan should include her consciousness along with her so that they may have a better chance to get through to Kaldur; at least being there for moral support as is clearly needed from Me'gan demeanor already exhibited. Me'gan makes the stakes clear that if she fails to help Kaldur, then Artemis might lose her memory as well. Artemis says that they don't have a choice.

An interesting point to be made hear is that since Artemis has been with Kaldur on this mission, she has gotten a taste of what life with her father could have been like if she had decided to go in that direction. A theory for this whole episode, though I think it is highly backed up with evidence given, is that Artemis does like this life to some degree. I say this because the whole issue with Artemis in this episode is that she is losing herself to this new identity. Well, if someone doesn't like a job they are doing, they will be doing everything they can to think of when or how they could leave. This is apparently not the case here. Yes, this is not her father and that could be a major factor, being with a crew that actually accepts her skills and lineage as is and not wanting to change except to only get better performance wise. With Kaldur not being able to ground her and reminding her why they are there, it is easily seen why or at least understood why Artemis maybe getting comfortable with living this life if the mission fails. Even Kaldur struggles with this issue as mentioned in the finale, which shows how tempting that life could be, even for the most devoted and passionate soldier. Only once she mentions Wally is when she starts to remember why she wants to end this kind of life and the mission that spawned it.

That's all for this one guys. When I return, I will discuss the telepathic plain and the ending scene. Thank you
