Gretchen gloats that she has the advantage over The Light to Ultra-Humanite. However, Tara and Brion breaks out Jace’s control and they escape from her base.
When The Team tries to confront Gretchen in order to stop her, she traps them in her X-Pit. She takes Beast Boy out of the pit to fight and beat him down.
