It's time for a little bit of a breather. Flag confronts Waller about Nemesis, Deadshot confronts his feelings, and Enchantress confronts an obstacle in herself. Also, Boomerang has a good idea?

The Squad is trapped in Russia, The US Embassy wants nothing to do with the team, and the Russians have called out the army. Enchantress has lost contact with reality and Nightshade is hurt. What else could go wrong for the Suicide Squad?

Okay, so the team is in Russia and now they know their subject doesn't want to be rescued, what could possibly complicate things more? Well, for starters, how about Enchantress going bonkers or the entire Russian army being mobilized against them?

The Squad is sent into Russia to bring back a now-famous dissident.

Green Arrow investigates a new drug, "Stardust", but still believes his team is not ready for the streets. While he is being informed about Prometheus, Rene and Evelyn secretly raid Stardust dealer Derek Sampson's warehouse. The raid goes wrong and Sampson ends up with superhuman strength and an inability to feel pain. Oliver learns what happened from District Attorney Adrian Chase, convincing him that he still cannot trust his recruits. Felicity advises him to accept the recruits as they are, and Green Arrow finally uses his new team to stop Sampson from creating more superhumans. Oliver also publicly endorses Thea's decision to appoint Quentin as Deputy Mayor after negative news stories almost cause her to resign. Felicity admits to Rory, the Ragman, that she was the one responsible for Havenrock. Diggle is incarcerated and hallucinates Floyd Lawton as his cellmate due to guilt over killing his brother. Afterward, he tells Lyla he will not fight the charges against him, so she asks Oliver to help her break Diggle out of prison. Flashbacks focus on Anatoly teaching Oliver the need to trust his brothers in the Bratva.

Floyd Lawton was born to wealthy parents who hated each other. While still a child he tried to intervene in a confrontation between his beloved older brother and hated father with a sniper rifle. His shot went astray and he killed his brother. From that point on he dedicated his life to being certain he would never miss a shot again and became Deadshot.

Laurel and Thea arrive in Nanda Parbat and request Malcolm, the new Ra's al Ghul, to use the Lazarus Pit to bring Sara back to life. He initially refuses, but in order to appease Thea he eventually agrees. When Sara returns feral, Nyssa destroys the Lazarus Pit in retaliation. An A.R.G.U.S. operative delivers Diggle information on the woman, Mina Fayad, that hired Floyd Lawton to kill his brother. Fayad also works for H.I.V.E., and meets with Darhk about the growing issue with the vigilantes in Star City. She brings in a metahuman hitman named Jeremy Tell, who can turn his playing card tattoos into physical projectiles. After Tell's initial failure, Darhk kills Fayad for challenging him. Diggle and Oliver team up and take down Tell, but get no new information on H.I.V.E. In flashbacks, Oliver is forced to use torture techniques to interrogate the prisoners, who are being used to harvest heroin-cocaine hybrid plants, after a parcel of drugs goes missing.
