One thing you learn after San Diego Comic Con is that the news doesn't stop once the convention is over! All our staff have made it safely home now but as exhausted as we are, the news must go on! Today you've likely already watched Elder Wisdom! If so be sure to see Ariel's recap in the previous article and let us know what you thought of the episode in the comments or in our poll. Looking to next week, episode 20 "Quiet Conversations" now has a synopsis! Sounds like Victor is making a return and our guess is Halo has a break down along with him:

Victor Stone reaches a crisis point, and he's not alone.

Happy Tuesday, dear readers! I hope y’all have had an amazing week, and if you attended SDCC, hopefully you’re getting some well-deserved rest. Just like the wicked, I will not be getting any rest, but every moment of this weekend was more than worth it. I plan on writing up all about my weekend at SDCC at some point (after I get a nap in), but today, let’s spin the focus on the new Young Justice Outsiders episode! 

Oh, and before I forget: We have a season four! Just in case you somehow missed it. 

‘Elder Wisdom’ brings along some wholesome conversations that needed to be had. The Outsiders and Miss Martian’s team join together to fight off an impending ‘BIF’ attack, but Lex Luthor manages to spin things towards his own gain. Or… does he? Meanwhile, some of the Outsiders’ parents (and guardians) are not happy about the teens’ involvement in a public team, and Violet comes clean to Brion and Tara. Intrigued? Read on for our detailed breakdown!

1. Attack on the Titans: We begin the episode in Bwanda, where Lex Luthor reassures G. Gordon that the United Nations Climate Conference is being held in Bwanda upon hospitality by their General. The scene cuts away to Troia, on a video call with Wonder Woman. Side note, anyone else get really excited upon seeing Garth and Troia get some well-deserved screen time? Just me? Cool, cool. Because this is Young Justice and nothing can ever be peaceful for long, Garth and Troia are attacked and rendered unconscious.
2. Battle With the BIFs: The attack is brought on by the BIF organization, who are rebelling in opposition of the General. Luckily for everyone else, the Outsiders and the Team are there to help. The Team assists in protecting Troia, while the Outsiders handle the remainder of the UN ambassadors. With his own agenda, Lex receives permission from the General to call in help from the Justice League. No doubt an attempt to get the public on his side, rather than the Outsiders’. In the scuffle, Kid Flash is temporarily injured, and Violet’s throat is slashed. When the fight is over, Lex attempts to use the injuries as an example of the teens throwing themselves recklessly into danger and insists that the proper communication system works. 
3. Knowing and Proving: On the Bioship, Miss Martian consoles Lia, a mind-controlled Shadow who was rescued with her help. Beast Boy explains to the Outsiders how Miss Martian got the drop on the BIF attack, but he’s pretty sure that Garth was targeted. Halo adds in that Troia was also targeted, and they conclude that they were set up by Lex Luthor. Meanwhile, we learn that the two assassins leading the attack on Troia and Garth were none other than Cassandra and Lady Shiva. However, Cassandra has some questions, and she brings them up to Lex. She is concerned that because they failed to eliminate their targets, the Outsiders will be able to prove that Lex was behind the attack. Lex, however, is unconcerned, and remains confident that they will be unable to do so. 
4. Sparks of Rebellion: Upon delivering Lia to Taos, Miss Martian confronts Halo about her reckless and odd behavior as of late. She begs her to talk to someone, but as before, Halo remains quiet. As consequence, Miss Martian suspends her from the Team. Eduardo Sr. meets his son and expresses concern about his safety, now that he is on the team. An argument brews, and despite Miss Martian’s attempt to quell the flames, it only grows more heated. Eduardo Jr. blows his father off and the Outsiders leave via Boom Tube.
5. Parental Guidance: On New Years’ day, Beast Boy and the Outsiders prepare to train. Dr. Jace approaches Violet and tells her that she has still not been able to find a cure. This doesn’t bode well for Violet, who then lashes out at Brion and refuses his attempts at conciliation. To keep the uncomfortable train going, Helena Sandsmark, Jay Garrick, and Eduardo Sr. arrive at the tower. They attempt to talk some sense into the Outsiders and try to get them to see the danger that they’re putting themselves in. However, they’re interrupted when the Outsiders receive a call for help from a little Irish girl who insists that robot monkey’s (Professor Ivo’s robot monkeys) are stealing from her dad. Only Beast Boy, Static, and Blue Beetle are able to go on this mission, as Brion chose to stay with Halo, and the other three’s guardians refuse to let them leave.
6. Coming Clean: Brion enters Violet’s room and tries to get her to talk to him. Eventually, Violet confesses that she and Harper kissed at school. It’s not a big deal, as Brion is more than understanding and willing to let it slide. However, Violet is done keeping secrets. She calls Tara into her room, and tells them both of Gabrielle’s involvement in their parents’ deaths. Here, Brion is not so forgiving, and leaves to his room. Tara, alone and with no one to talk to, experiences something akin to a panic attack and messages Deathstroke about the parent-child arguments going down on the floor below. 
7. Elder Wisdom: As Beast Boy, Static and Blue Beetle take down Ivo’s robot monkeys and save the little Irish girl, the three elders continue to try and reason with the teens. It’s a rather touching moment in which we get to see a rare consequence of being a teen vigilante, and it’s handled delicately. Wonder Girl, Kid Flash and El Dorado manage to convince their parents to trust them and let them continue fighting crime.
8. Lex Out of Luck: With Tara’s intel, Lex goes on G. Gordon’s talk show and continues to trash the Outsiders’ reputation. However, Lex is on the wrong side of public opinion, and G. Gordon calls him out on it. #WeAreAllOutsiders remains trending, and with their parents’ approval, the Outsiders are together and stronger than before. Lex is peeved that G. Gordon put him on the spot like that, but Gordon advises him to switch sides, and fast. 
9. This is War: In Gotham, the ‘Anti-Light’ gathers to go over the recent events. As it turns out, Ivo’s robot monkeys and the little Irish girl was a ploy, devised by them to garner even more public support for the Outsiders while putting Lex Luthor in his place. Wonder Woman isn’t happy with this deceit, and honestly I don’t blame her. At this point, they seem to be taking it a little far. I can only imagine what kind of consequences this will bring in the future. 
10. Goodbye Halo?: Halo, distraught over Brion and Tara’s reactions, in addition to her own grim fate, pens a letter. Is our dear Halo leaving us? Catch me crying until next week, waiting to find out.

Are you worried that season three will end on a cliffhanger? Or even worse, that the show might end like season 2 did and we have no hopes for anything in the future? Well after tonight's DC Universe panel at San Diego Comic Con, Young Justice fans no longer need to worry anymore! The two executive producers, Greg Weisman and Brandon Vietti broke the news themselves when they took to the stage! Fans lit up with a roar! We've been asking for this since we bought into the DCU service and saw season 3! We want more and again, to the DC Universe's credit, they listened!

It’s our new favorite day of the week: Young Justice release day! With Comic Con this weekend, we’ve had so much news going on this week that it’s surreal we get to celebrate with a new episode. Luckily, we have quite a few more weeks of new episodes to get through, so the surrealness should die down soon. This week, ‘Early Warning’ focuses on the previously mentioned ‘Project Rutabaga’, run by Klarion. The Outsiders (minus Kid Flash and Blue Beetle), go down to stop him, but are faced with a harrowing flesh-monster made up of Meta Teens. Nightmare fuel, seriously. Meanwhile, Violet comes to terms with a gripping realization, and makes some questionable choices as a result. Intrigued? Read on!

1. Whitmore Breaks it Down: The episode begins with Courtney Whitmore recapping the success of the Outsiders (girl, same) among their multiple missions. We also learn that the hashtag #WeAreAllOutsiders has been trending to two weeks, which is a huge feat. 
2. Outsiders, Away: After the broadcast, Beast Boy announces that they are going to Santiago de Cuba, as Miss Martian informed them of a Metahuman trafficking lab that needs to be ended. He and Geoforce leave, remarking that they will rendevouz with Static, Wonder Girl and Bioship in Happy Harbor. Author’s note: As the show has continued to use ‘she/her’ pronouns with Violet, we will reflect that going forward. 
3. A Shocking Truth: Forager, Tara and Violet prepare to go to school, herded by their ‘den mother’, Dr. Jace. She pulls Violet aside, telling her that she has some unfortunate news. As it turns out, Violet’s healing powers have come with a price: her own life. Every time Violet heals, her cells don’t regenerate as they should, and she ultimately hurts herself in the long-run. Understandably, Violet is shocked. Dr. Jace says she only has a few months to live, but is working on a solution with her mentor to help. Yeah, I have questions about this ‘mentor’. Still shady. Dr. Jace bids Violet not ‘worry the others’, which doesn’t help her rank on the shady scale either. 
4. Under the Radar: At the Watchtower, Zatanna is angry that Miss Martian and Aqualad allowed the Outsiders to handle a threat from Klarion without help from either her or Dr. Fate. They both insist the Outsiders can handle it, but Zatanna disagrees and goes to their rescue. Quietly, of course, given that the League is not allowed in Cuba without prior permission. 
5. Project Cucumbers: Klarion continues his work on ‘Project Rutabaga’. The project involves kidnapping teens with a metagene and using his magic to activate the gene. After he brands them with a magic seal, he determines their usefulness; if it’s not satisfactory, he turns the teens into a wisp of smoke that is absorbed by a flesh-monster with multiple eyeballs. It isn’t pretty. 
6. Gotcha Covered: The Outsiders arrive to the lab, sans Kid Flash and Blue Beetle. They are currently attending the funeral of Joan Garrick. The remainder of the Outsiders infiltrate the lab; Geoforce bars the Cuban police from getting involved, and Beast Boy, Wonder Girl, and Static head in to face the flesh monster. They are horrified to discover that the monster is made up of Meta Teens, which only escalates the challenge, as they must hold the monster off without hurting the teens inside. The Outsiders proceed, with Beast Boy immediately attacking Teekl, and Wonder Girl and Static handling the flesh monster. Zatanna arrives in the midst of this attack, explaining that she’s using a charm to hide her identity from the public. The charm, however, doesn’t work on Klarion, who knows of her presence immediately. Zatanna sets to freeing the teens from the flesh monster, but Wonder Girl is absorbed in the middle. While Beast Boy and Static handle Klarion, Zatanna is able to focus and uses an impressive spell to free the teens from the flesh monster. It works, and everyone is saved. While she’s unable to deactivate the teens’ metagene, she is able to free them from Klarion’s control. She’s truly the star of this episode, for after everyone is safe, she impressively uses one of Dr. Fate’s spells to trap Klarion in the Tower of Fate. It seems like though she isn’t able to free her father from Dr. Fate, she has gotten some training from him. 
7. Fallout: With Klarion handled and the teens saved, Geoforce allows the police through. The Outsiders talk with the Meta Teens, where they explain that they are the Outsiders. Beast Boy realizes that one of the girls is unable to breathe due to newly formed gills, and quickly gets her to a source of water. 
8. Missing Person: After school, Tara and Forager arrive back at the Outsiders’ Tower for training with Artemis. However, Violet is missing. Tara explains that Violet blew them off in order to hang out with Harper Row. 
9. Questionable Decisions: Over at Mount Justice, Harper Row and Violet hang out. Only with guns and booze. Harper makes a move and kisses Violet, and despite both of them claiming that they have boyfriends, they continue to kiss. After, Violet picks up the gun and shoots some glass bottles, but the two are soon caught by the police.
10. We Are All Outsiders: Like the previous episode, local authorities aren’t too happy with the Outsiders’ involvement. Unsurprisingly, the Meta Teens don’t feel the same way. They chant of ‘We Are All Outsiders’, and one of the authorities happen to film it. Despite it, the Colonel still wants them out, so before reinforcements arrive, the Outsiders and Meta Teens leave. 
11. Daddy Issues: Back at the tower, Tara and Artemis train. Tara is good, but not perfect, and snaps at Artemis when she tries to help. In a truly touching moment, Artemis reaches out to her and connects with her over their mutual experiences with rough training. Is Tara going to be swayed over to the side of good? One can only hope. 
12. Silence: M’gann picks up Violet from the local police station. From the officer, we learn that Harper will remain in a holding cell until her father (a drunk) can pick her up. In the car, M’gann tries to reach out to Violet, but she won’t speak. Come on, Vi. Please open up to someone who isn’t Dr. Jace. I promise, they will help you far more than she will. 
13. A Huge Impact: The Outsiders deliver the Meta-Teens to the MHYC in Taos. Given that they have nowhere to put the aquatic girl, it looks like she might be taken somewhere else. Bart and Jaime receive condolences for the loss of Mrs. Garrick, and I especially appreciated the long hug between Bart and Virgil. In a positive turn of events, Ed decides to walk the walk and join the Outsiders, where he is accepted with open arms. Wendy tells everyone to check their phones, as Stargirl covers the Cuba mission. The Outsiders’ help has positively blown up, and their popularity has now gone global. She ven claims that the Outsiders have gotten bigger than the Justice League. I’m not sure if that’s entirely a positive thing. Only one way to find out!
