"Independence Day/Fireworks"
On the Fourth of July, sidekicks and their mentors fight freeze villains in separate cities: Batman and Robin versus Mr. Freeze; Green Arrow and Speedy versus Icicle; Aquaman and Aqualad versus Killer Frost; and Flash and Kid Flash versus Captain Cold. Each sidekick is excited for the day because it's the day they're taken to the Hall of Justice to see where the Justice League operates. When they arrive, Speedy gets angry at Green Arrow and the other mentors claiming there's a space satellite where the JLA really meets and that this isn't the day they were promised - a first step on becoming JLA'ers themselves. Speedy departs angrily.Superman calls into the Hall of Justice to report a fire at Project Cadmus. Then John Zatara calls in with a bigger crisis so the heroes converge on Zatara ordering the sidekicks to remain behind. Naturally they head to Project Cadmus.
After helping scientists up top trapped by the fire, the heroes head down into the real Cadmus, a genetics lab run by Dr. Roland Desmond with the assistance of Dubbilex and the Guardian. Robin discovers that Cadmus is using genetics technology to create an army of genomorphs which seem to have mind control capabilities.
The Guardian is sent to investigate the intruders. He's ordered to take his genomorph with him which controls his mind and has him attack the young titans. Robin leads Aqualad and Kid Flash down into the core of Cadmus where they find Project Kr (atomic symbol for Krypton), a young teenage clone of Superman. They find out from the computer records that this Superboy has been grown in 16 weeks, wears a suit that is absorbing yellow solar radiation to power him, and has three genomorphs feeding him an education.
Outside the lab for Project Kr, Guardian, Dubbilex, and Dr. Desmond try to get the door open. Desmond has his genomorph contact the ones educating Superboy and they awaken the Boy of Steel who in turn attacks the teen heroes.
Dr. Desmond consults with the "Board of Directors" of Cadmus - the Light - and they advise Desmond to clone the teen heroes and dispose of the originals. The clones can then be controlled.
Meanwhile, the incapacitated and incarcerated Robin, Kid Flash, and Aqualad get to know Superboy. He tells them he's been created to replace Superman should he die and to take him out should he ever turn against the Light. While the genomorphs have educated the Boy of Tomorrow, he's never seen the sky or any of the things he's learned about. They tell Superboy that they can show him the sun and the moon and even introduce him to Superman. Desmond comes in and tells the heroes what's about to happen to them. Desmond orders Guardian to put "the weapon" - Superboy - back in his pod. Aqualad pleads with him for his help. Desmond places the genomorph on Superboy's shoulder and he mindlessly goes back to his cell while the titans' memories are being painfully downloaded out of them in preparation for their cloning.
Aqualad whispers to Superboy that he has a choice and asks him to ask himself "What would Superman do?" This gets the Boy of Steel's attention. Superboy frees the heroes. Dr. Desmond drinks the genomorph formula turning into Blockbuster. Superboy, Robin, Kid Flash, and Aqualad fight Desmond and the genomorph army and win. Superboy gets outside in the open air for the first time just as the Justice League arrives on the scene with Superman. Superman is uncomfortable with his clone and makes excuses and flies away.
The League begins to tell the young heroes how they acted against orders but the teenagers decide to stay together as a heroic group dedicated to Young Justice with the League's begrudging acceptance and on the JLA's terms. Those terms are that Young Justice will work out of the JLA's original Secret Sanctuary, that Batman will issue assignments, Black Canary will train them, and Red Tornado volunteered to live with them. The Martian Manhunter introduces the team to their newest teen member, his niece, Miss Martian.
Back at Cadmus, Guardian has taken control of a "kindler, gentler" Cadmus. But the Light - whoever they really are - are really still in control.

"Welcome to Happy Harbor"
Speedy fights Green Arrow villain Brick. Young Justice shows up. After defeating Brick, the team offers Speedy team membership. He turns them down.The team moves into their new headquarters and operational base in a mountain sanctuary in the sleepy seaside town of Happy Harbor, Rhode Island. This is the former headquarters of the first incarnation of the Justice League of America. The JLA eventually abandoned this headquarters due to its being infiltrated by bad guys - specifically the Joker, who in Justice League of America #77 tricked honorary member Snapper Carr into betraying the League and revealing the location of their headquarters. Because the location is known to be public by the villains, the idea of putting the kids there is it's the last place anybody would look for them.
The supers all share their secret identities. All except Robin. Kid Flash is indeed Wally West.
Miss Martian uses her telepathic abilities as a form of communication. Superboy, after the experience of being mentally manipulated for the first 16 weeks of his life, gets very angry at what he considers an invasion of privacy. Miss Martian also realizes that the team's 'mentor', the Red Tornado, as an artificial life form, has no mind that her telepathic abilities can reach.
Miss Martian shows the boys her Martian ship. The kids go to check out the town where they are faced with Mister Twister, a villain who is capable of forming tornadoes. When Miss Martian is unable to read Mister Twister's mind, she assumes it's really Red Tornado in disguise testing the team. As a result the team lets their guard down and are quickly defeated. Superboy feels Miss Martian misled them as do the others. The boys go off after Mister Twister leaving Miss Martian behind.
Miss Martian has an idea and uses her telepathy to convey it. Suddenly the boys are interrupted by Red Tornado. He orders them to back off. Reddy and Mister Twister fight and Reddy is seemingly knocked out (or the robot equivalent thereof). Mister Twister's hands convert to wires and he is about to reprogram Reddy. But it isn't Reddy at all - it's Miss Martian in disguise and she and the team work together to take Mister Twister out.
Miss Martian smashes the guy who falls out of Mister Twister - but that guy is also a robot. Elsewhere, bad guys are on the hunt for Red Tornado - it appears to be Reddy's creator T. O. Morrow and his assistant Brom (more on Bromwell Stick in the episode review). They were on the hunt for Red Tornado and plan to continue their quest.
Finally, Superboy apologizes to Miss Martian.

"Drop Zone"
In Santa Prisca, Kobra has invaded Bane's operations, but Bane is given the opportunity to fight for their freedom by going up against Kobra's champion. Bane is given a dose of his Venom serum to bulk up for the fight. The "champion" is a short scrawny kid, but he also takes some sort of serum and, more than bulking up, he is swollen in size and musculature to become a raging monster (Mammoth) who is able to thrash Bane with ease.Batman has learned that shipments of Venom out of Santa Prisca have been cut off and sends the Young Justice team on covert recon purposes only. Robin wants to know who is in charge, but they are instructed to work that out for themselves. The team deploys on the island, with Aqualad taking an underwater route to reach and disable island alarms. The rest of the team approaches the base on land, but Robin goes too far ahead, pulling a Batman disappearance when he's presumably trying to take up the leadership position. Superboy, Kid Flash, and Miss Martian come across a fight between Bane's men and the Cult of the Kobra. Though the team tries to hide and observe, Kid Flash slips in the mud and slides right into the midst of the fray. Both sides begin firing at him, but he dodges the bullets with super speed. The rest of Young Justice move in and start taking out both the Kobra Cultists and Bane and his guys. Aqualad rejoins the team during the fight.
The team has everyone tied up and Kid Flash and Robin argue over who should be leader. Superboy and Miss Martian stay out of the argument and have a little moment together, where Superboy makes it clear there are no hard feelings from the events of last episode. Bane decides to take advantage of the situation and offers to help them by showing them a secret entrance to the installation. Miss Martian reads his mind and verifies he's telling the truth but that he's hiding something. But when he starts mentally reciting fútbol scores en español, she can't figure out what the "something" might be. The team agrees to go with him.
The team enters the factory in secret, and Robin and Kid Flash dash off ahead (again) to find out what's going on. They discover a computer room, where they are able to determine that Kobra is combining Venom with the Blockbuster formula from Cadmus to make a more potent solution with permanent effects. Meanwhile, Kobra's buyer arrives for the new Venom, and Miss Martian observes the exchange invisibly, mentally conveying the buyer's image to Aqualad, who identifies him as Sportsmaster.
At this point, Bane decides a more forward approach is needed. He attacks the Kobra Cultists. Mammoth attacks Aqualad and Superboy, and the rest of the team comes to assist. Miss Martian links them all telepathically, and Aqualad coordinates everyone's efforts. They get away through the secret tunnel they used to infiltrate in the first place. After causing a cave-in to prevent pursuit, the team pauses a moment and elects Aqualad leader, to which he agrees until Robin is ready to take over in his stead.
Bane shows up and attempts to catch them in an explosive trap, but Kid Flash's super speed gets him the detonator, and Miss Martian telekinetically drops him right into Superboy's fist.
The final action scene is a thoroughly coordinated team effort with no single hero taking on any one antagonist. Sportsmaster seems to get away, but Miss Martian uses Bane's only explosives and remote detonator to destroy his vehicle, with Sportsmaster parachuting to safety. Kobra also escapes, and the Venom factory is left in flames.
Back at Mount Justice, Batman gives them kudos on how they adjusted to the situation and their choice of leader, amidst his criticism at having gone so far off the objective. Sportsmaster reports back to the Light with his one ampoule of super Venom.

"Schooled"
In a scene reminiscent of the Superman saving the bus scene in "Superman: The Movie" Superboy is rescuing a school bus teetering off a bridge and Superman flies in to finish the job. Clearly he's still uncomfortable around his clone. In the distance Bruce Wayne watches and he calls Superman to meet up with him.At Young Justice headquarters, Black Canary is there to train the heroes but Superboy wants no part of it. When Black Canary challenges him he's easily taken down by the more experienced hero.
Batman phones in and tells the team he wants them to guard two shipments by truck one to Boston and one to New York of Professor Ivo's Amazo robot. The Young Justice team head out after the two trucks - Superman spies Superboy with his X-ray vision and readies to fly off but Batman stops him and tells him they need to talk.
While following the trucks, green robot monkeys attack the truck. The heroes engage the green robot monkeys. But the monkeys get away with their haul of Amazo's halves. But Robin devises a way to follow them.
Bruce and Clark sit in a diner and Bruce urges Clark to take a role in his "son's" life. Clark is antagonistic and defensive. He gets up and takes his pie to go.
The flying monkeys converge the two shipments on a train to Gotham. Superboy flies off solo and faces off with Ivo in the train. The green robot flying monkeys attack. When Superboy is knocked off balance Ivo confronts him and he's re-activated Amazo!
Amazo and Superboy fight - Amazo is the one-man Justice League (or is that one-robot Justice League). He super-decks the Boy of Steel and sends him flying.
Robin and Kid Flash race into Gotham while Amazo battles Superboy at Robin's school - Robin in a momentary glimpse re-confirmed to be Dick Grayson.
Robin and Kid Flash join Superboy in fighting Amazo but he is using the powers of multiple Justice League members in succession to overpower the younger heroes.
Suddenly an arrow flies in out of nowhere to free a trapped Robin. The heroes use the opportunity and gain the upper hand and defeat the robot.
Back at Young Justice headquarters in Happy Harbor, the team accuse the JLA of setting them up because they were being followed the entire time by the League or Green Arrow would not have sent an arrow to free Robin. Green Arrow shows it wasn't his arrow. The team realize it was Speedy looking out for them - or so they think.

"Infiltrator"
Dr. Serling Roquette is in a building on Infinity Island working on a computer program and is being pursued by the League of Shadows. Before she can finish the program and take it, Red Arrow rescues her, and the League of Shadows is able to take her finished work and use it for their own means. We find out the research is nanobot technology that takes the form of a fog that can infiltrate any secure location and download whatever information is available and destroy anything in its path.Back at Mount Justice the team is introduced to a new team member, Artemis. Wally believes her to be a weak replacement for Speedy (now calling himself Red Arrow).
Red Arrow explains that Dr. Roquette was forced to work on the nanobot technology for the League of Shadows.
The team discovers that the League of Shadows have already downloaded information and destroyed one of Cadmus Labs' facilities and are planning to use the fog to download sensitive information from WayneTech enterprises. Dr. Roquette has a plan to create a virus to destroy the nanobots but needs protection because she will have to go online thus putting her at risk. Superboy and Robin go to WayneTech, while the rest of the team stays with Dr. Roquette.
Dr. Roquette is able to complete the virus as the team protects her from the League of Shadows. Right as the nanobots are about to download the WayneTech information the virus is released just in time to destroy the nanobots.
One of the main villains of this episode is fleeing from Artemis, and after a brief fight, Artemis is able to remove the female's mask. Artemis clearly recognizes her, and the female villain tells Artemis that she cannot tell anyone who she truly is or else she will be forced to reveal Artemis' secrets to the rest of her newfound teammates.
Artemis is confronted by Red Arrow, who tells her he knows that her cover is a fake and then warns her to not hurt his friends.
It is also revealed to the leader of the League of Shadows from the Light that there is a mole within the group of young heroes.

"Denial"
This episode starts with Kent Nelson walking down a street in New Orleans. He goes into a psychic's shop whose name is Madame Xanadu. She claims to be talking to his wife and he knows it's a sham and he calls her on it. He is then taken hostage by Abracadabra and Klarion the Witch Boy.Back with the young team, Superboy and Aqualad are training when Red Tornado comes in and offers Young Justice a new job, to find Kent Nelson who has gone missing.
When they go to investigate, Aqualad uses a secret key given to him to open up an invisible tower. The team enters and a hologram of Kent appears asking them who they are. Wally (who is trying to impress Megan by pretending to be interested in all things mystical) announces that they have come to learn more as true believers. The floor opens beneath them into a lava pit. Megan saves them by stating their true purpose, which is being sent by Red Tornado to find Kent. The floor opens beneath them (which was supposed to be covering lava) into a snow ridden tundra. Wally admits he doesn't believe in anything that science can't explain and that there is always an explanation.
The team comes upon Kent Nelson's cane and Wally and Artemis grab it at the same time and it transports them to Kent, who is being lead through this same tower by Klarion and Abracadabra. Kent flies to the cane and then creates an elevator which takes the three of them to a room with a giant bell in it. Everyone arrives in the room simultaneously, including villains, and as Kent hits the bell with his cane, he has Wally with him and Klarion flies into the bell at the same time. The bells vibrations transports the three of them (four if you count Klarion's cat) to the top of the tower where the helmet of Dr. Fate is located.
As Kent goes for the helmet, Klarion shoots a burst of magical energy and knocks him down. Kent is able to erect a bubble of protection around them and tells Wally to take a leap of faith and put on the helmet. Wally hesitates but puts on the helmet and he then enters the helmet as Nabu takes over, since he is the true owner of the helmet and uses humans as a conduit through which he is able to enter this world.
After Nabu/Dr. Fate enters the fight with Klarion, they fight and Dr. Fate gets knocked around a bit and realizes that Klarion, like Nabu, needs a physical connection to this world in order to be here and it's the cat. He then incapacitates the cat, which forces Klarion to leave this plane of existence.
Nabu tells Wally that because Kent has kept him hidden for so long and not used the helmet, he will use Wally so he can bring order back to the world. Kent convinces Nabu that he is not a worthy successor and tells Nabu he will keep him company and stay in the helmet. Nabu accepts. The episode ends with Wally putting the helmet of Dr. Fate on a shelf next to Kobra's hood, Artemis' arrow, and Cheshire's mask. Artemis asks Wally if he now believes in mystical things and Wally responds jokingly that it's only a souvenir. She walks off frustrated and then Wally starts asking Megan out.

"Downtime"
The team is fighting Clayface and they aren't as smooth as normal. Batman pulls Aqualad aside after the mission to tell him that he was not focused and not fully there with the rest of the team. Batman gives him an ultimatum: Either be a part of the team, or leave.Aqualad decides to go home to Atlantis to think about things. He runs into two old friends, Garth and Tula. His activities are parsed with the activities of the other team members.
Robin is frustrated about Batman not including him in the discussion with Aqualad. Batman plays basketball with him for "hand-eye coordination". Wally is having dinner with the entire speedster family, including his uncle Barry Allen. Artemis is accepted into Gotham academy and decides to please her mother and go, despite initial hesitations. Megan and Superboy are cooking and enjoy what appears to be a brief romantic interlude, but nothing is seen.
Meanwhile Black Manta is planting explosives throughout Atlantis, planning an assault. After Aqualad (who's name is revealed to be Kaldur'ahm) talks with Tula, she confesses that her and Garth are in a relationship. While they are speaking they are away from the city and they see the explosions go off. Fighting commences in the city with Mera and many others unable to communicate with Aquaman because communications are crippled. As they are fighting, Tula is shot, but not killed.
Aqualad and Garth go inside to the Science Center. Previously in the episode scientists were studying an echinoderm that was alive despite being encased in ice for thousands of years. This location was the only location that was not blown up, which is what led them here. They both fight Black Manta and his henchman and eventually overtake them. Black Manta is able to escape and destroy the giant echinoderm stating that if he couldn't have it, no one could.
Afterwards, Aqualad takes what remains of the echinoderm to the surface to be studied by scientists above. He goes back to Batman and states he is ready to be a part of the team.
The final scene shows Black Manta talking to the conglomerate (the unseen white screened villains) that he was forced to go to plan B. They are nonetheless pleased and tell him he performed well.

"Bereft"
The episode starts out with Megan in the desert by herself, not knowing who she is or where she is at. She has no recollection of even being a member of Young Justice. She is then attacked by Superboy, who clearly does not remember her at all.Robin is by himself somewhere else in the desert. He evades some soldiers when he decides to contact Batman but remembers Batman telling him to maintain radio silence, so he holds off. He also finds out from his computer watch that he is in Bialya.
Kid Flash and Artemis wake up next to each other, not recognizing each other, the same as the others. When Kid Flash asks her why she's in the Green Arrow costume, she states it was probably a test from her dad and she was probably sent to kill Kid Flash. They are attacked by tanks, when Superboy comes in and attacks them at that time. Superboy is then angered by the tanks and goes after them. Superboy is captured by Psimon using mind powers.
Megan saves Wally and Artemis from remote fighter drones. Wally presses Artemis about her father sending her to kill them, and she says she was just remembering a ninja movie and brushes him off. Megan joins minds with Robin, Wally, and Artemis to piece together the fragments of their memory. They were sent by Batman to Bialya to investigate an extraterrestrial energy source. The Justice League cannot investigate because it's not legal for them. They also remember that Aqualad is still in the desert and they go to retrieve him. He has to be hydrated before they can try to open into his mind but Megan tells them that Superboy is being tortured and needs her help. She goes to help Superboy while the rest carry Aqualad to find water.
Megan goes to the tent where the group of bad guys have captured Superboy and are electrocuting him and the alien life form, a giant metal ball that is groaning from pain. Megan goes to rescue him but is stopped by Psimon. They do psychic battle where she realizes she was investigating before and had her memory wiped. Because she was linked to the rest of the team, their memory was wiped as well, 6 months back. So that's why they didn't remember anything.
While Megan and Psimon battle, the sphere breaks loose and frees Superboy. Megan restores Superboy's memories and she is able to use her psychic ability along with his to defeat Psimon. They take the sphere back to the ship where Aqualad has been revived and the team is back to normal.
Psimon reports to the Consortium (bad guys on TV screens whose faces you cannot see) that Superboy and the Sphere were both taken. One of the Consortium's members tells him that it is ok, that this has demonstrated a successful test of a delivery system, and that future developments of it will compensate for their losses.

"Targets"
The episode begins with Cat Grant at the peace summit where the fictional countries of North and South Rhelasia are to sign an accord to begin the peace process between the two countries. Red Arrow is there in disguise. He contacts Aqualad to get information on Cheshire, who is there. As Cheshire is about to shoot a rocket, Red Arrow diverts her with his arrow. She is captured.Shortly afterwards the arbitrator for the Peace Accord shows up and it's Lex Luthor. Red Arrow confronts Lex Luthor and expresses his distaste of him being there. He is only there for his own gains. As they squabble, Red Arrow begins asking about Cheshire and who she is and why she was there. Lex offers to pay him money to look into it, and Red Arrow balks, because he does not want to be associated with Luthor's money. Red Arrow ends up looking into her on his own.
We are then back at Young Justice Headquarters where Superboy and M'gann M'orzz are going to go to school. M'gann has decided to go by the name of Megan Morse and has also altered her form to look human. Between her and Martian Manhunter, they give Superboy the name Conner Kent.
Red Arrow is at the prison where Cheshire is being held. He tries to get information about who hired her and she is evasive. An explosion erupts behind her and Sportsmaster is there to take her away on a helicopter. Red Arrow manages to catch up to them from the roof of the jail with an arrow with rope on it, but he is cut loose before they go too far. His arrow, though had a secondary use of being a tracking bug. He follows the helicopter to find out that Ra's Al Ghul is controlling Cheshire. He is discovered and chased by Sportsmaster and Cheshire and forced to jump off a building into an adjacent body of water.
Back at Happy Harbor, Megan and Conner are getting used to the school experience. Conner stops a boy on a skateboard by picking him up. Kids nearby with various Justice League related shirts come to the kid's defense and Conner lets him go due to Megan's mental promptings.
At the Peace Accord, Lex decides to unite the two cultures using their mutual love of tea. He has teas brought to the delegation, but it's Cheshire and the tea cart she is pushing has a bomb. However, her move is anticipated by Red Arrow and Aqualad. Aqualad creates a barrier of water to protect the delegates and Red Arrow shoots an explosive arrow into the cart to explode it before it gets past the water barrier. The barrier barely holds and more bad guys show up and begin fighting with the guards at the delegation.
The scene then switches back to Happy Harbor where Megan is trying out for the Cheer Squad. They have a brief hazing ritual where they dump water on her, but welcome her to the group.
Back at the peace accord, Sportsmaster is fighting with Aqualad and he reveals to him his knowledge of a mole in their group. Cheshire and Sportsmaster escape but one last assassin breaks through to the two nations' leaders to kill them but he is shot down by Mercy Graves' robot arm. Red Arrow and Aqualad strike their own peace accord showing respect for each other.
*Spoilers* - The final scene shows both Ra's and Lex celebrating together over the peace treaty being signed and how it will be run by Lexcorp, and The Light.

"Terrors"
Superman and Martian Manhunter are in Louisiana fighting the Terror Twins. The villains are beaten and Superboy and Miss Martian take on their identities for a secret mission to Belle Reve Penitentiary, a prison for super-villains. Their mission is to discover why the world's most dangerous ice villains (Mr. Freeze, Captain Cold, Icicle Sr., Icicle Jr., and Killer Frost) are all being held there at the same time.Amanda Waller is the warden and is extremely strict with all of the inmates and boasts of the prison's perfect record for not allowing a single escape. She is joined by Hugo Strange. All inmates are fitted with collars that suppress their powers, however they are unaware that the collars aren't perfectly attuned because they were meant for the Terror Twins, so it only suppresses their strength. Miss Martian and Superboy are still able to communicate telepathically. The collar is also able to deliver a high voltage electric shock as an extra measure.
Superboy is roomed with Icicle Jr., and is able to form a bond with him. Superboy relates to Icicle Junior's father issues because they are similar to his issues with Superman. Superboy gets into a fight with a few of Icicle Sr.'s cronies while defending Jr. Professor Ojo is about to call Superboy out because he recognizes him, but is blasted by a mental wave from Miss Martian making him say that he is Tommy Terror.
The Terror Twins (Superboy and Miss Martian) go to a therapy session with Dr. Strange. Superboy accuses M'gann of being out of touch with reality. She obviously did not like his comment.
The two find out that there is a massive prison break taking place. Miss Martian is discovered by Killer Frost and is frozen. Superboy meanwhile has managed to convince Icicle Jr. to convince his father to shut the collars off of every inmate. This actually shocks all of the inmates, keeping them from breaking out. Mr. Freeze catches up to confront Icicle Jr. and Superboy, but is unable to defeat the both of them and Icicle Jr. still doesn't know who Superboy really is. But after Superboy discovers Miss Martian (as Tuppence Terror) frozen in ice he is able to communicate with her and the ice she is in unexpectedly breaks and she is still alive. Her and Superboy make out and her true identity is revealed to Icicle Jr. He realizes he is going to be in a lot of trouble with his father.
Hugo Strange replaces Amanda Waller at the end as Warden and is seen congratulating Icicle Sr. that despite one breakout (Edward Nigma) their objectives (still unknown at this time) will please The Light.

"Homefront"
(Flashback to Artemis' youth). Artemis' sister is leaving, Artemis is clearly distraught. The scene then switches to present day where Artemis' mom prompts her to get ready or she'll be late for her first day of school. Then we see Dick Grayson at Gotham Academy who flirts with Artemis but she doesn't recognize him. His friend Barbara asks Dick who the girl is and he tells her he was just trying to be friendly.Superboy and Miss Manhunter are making out at The Cave and are interrupted by the Sphere (remember that episode?) who warns Kid Flash who arrives at the same time.
Aqualad is seen in another part of The Cave talking to Red Tornado about his knowledge of a mole. He tells Aqualad that Batman expects the team to figure this out on their own and then he leaves to go and help take Green Arrow's watch at the Watchtower because Green Arrow has a date with Black Canary.
Robin sees Artemis in an alleyway on Gotham and both go into booth which transports them to the home base which is under attack. Flames and fireballs are coming at them and they escape to another room to figure out what is going on.
The both try to contact outside people with no success. They then travel through the ductwork to get out. A robot similar to Red Tornado is then seen and is able to wield fire. The nearby systems are being overloaded in what appears to be a boiler room of sorts. Robin is able to access data from the main computer and they try to see who the villain is. Artemis thinks she hears Red Tornado and approaches him. But it's actually a red robot and a girl robot similar to Red Tornado. Artemis and Robin escape behind a hidden bookcase passageway.
Aqualad meanwhile is in a fire cage holding M'gann. The robots are flooding the room to kill Superboy and Kid Flash who are stuck in a hardened substance (likely metal). Robin and Artemis overcome the guy robot in water. The robots both try to attack the two and they escape again. They devise a plan to create their own EMP to disable both robots. Robin tries to enable the EMP and fails and Artemis flees and then finds out that Robin has now been captured.
Artemis has a flashback (picking up where the previous flashback left off). As her sister is leaving Artemis tells her their Dad will find her. She then states that she will disappear like the Cheshire Cat (this is a reveal that Cheshire is her older sister). Back in the present she sees an arrow in the trophy room that she grabs and states that she won't leave her team like her sister left her. She surrenders but shoots the arrow into the EMP module, which needed a conductible material (metal) to work. The robots are disabled by the EMP.
Red Tornado finally returns and comes to talk to them. Red Tornado attempts communication with the evil Reds and is somehow contaminated by them. He turns on the team and almost kills them by sucking the air out of the room. Artemis wakes up to see the Justice League there and Red Tornado gone. The episode ends here.

"Alpha Male"
Gotham City mayor Hamilton Hill is on a hunt in India. He is preparing to kill a tiger when the tiger become incapacitated by 3 pillars that shoot up out of the ground and emit a ray. He continues to kill it but is stopped by a large Gorilla (Monsieur Mallah) with a chain gun.Immediately in the aftermath of the previous episode, the team learns that Aqualad knew about a mole. This was discovered by Superboy's hearing. The entire team becomes distraught that Aqualad knew and didn't tell them, thus destroying his role as leader and putting the team back at square one. Batman stops them from their bickering to inform them that Red Tornado is now Justice League business and they are being sent to India with Captain Marvel to investigate the Mayor Hill attack.
The team splits off from each other because they have no direction anymore and Aqualad fails to step up. They are all attacked by various beasts that are being controlled by a higher intelligence that has placed a collar on the jungle animals. Superboy and Captain Marvel fight large elephants and are able to overcome them. Immediately afterwards Captain Marvel sees a Tiger with a malfunctioning collar and he tries to approach it but is caught by incapacitating pillars and he is taken hostage by an unseen villain and strapped on an operating table.
Aqualad musters the inner strength to get the team to listen to him long enough to go and rescue Captain Marvel. They are able to penetrate the outer defenses of the compound that Marvel is being held in. Meanwhile, on the inside The Brain is attempting to dissect Captain Marvel's brain for some unknown reason. Monsieur Mallah goes outside to handle the team but they are able to turn the tables on both of the villains and The Brain is stopped by the tiger that Marvel spoke to earlier.

"Revelations"
The episode begins by introducing the Injustice League and some gigantic plant they are controlling. The scene then goes to The Cave where Robin is sparring with Aqualad. Batman shows them the plant destruction on the news along with the rest of the groups. Batman states that an analysis showed the plant is made of a Cobra/Venom variant. Joker interrupts all the debriefing and news screens to show them the Injustice League who are demanding a ransom. The Injustice League is formed up of Count Vertigo, Black Adam, Poison Ivy, Ultra Humanite, Atomic Skull, and Wotan.Batman wants the team to find and fight the source of the plant (Injustice League) while the Justice League (along with Zatarra and Captain Marvel) fight the plant. He explains that the Justice League will provide a distraction while the Young Justice squad dismantles them at their base of operations.
While we see the plant getting destroyed by various Justice League members the plant has explosive spores that contain Joker gas. The Injustice League, meanwhile is trying to bring life back to the plant which is getting demolished. It is being controlled centrally at the Injustice League's base by Poison Ivy.
The team is piloting the Bioship to the Injustice League's base when Count Vertigo disorients all of them and the ship, and Black Adam immediately sees it when it un-cloaks and punches it, causing it to crash into a body of water below. The entire team gets out of the ship which is sunk by the mutant plant. They start fighting with Vertigo and Black Adam.
The Justice League is taking out the plant at various locations throughout the world and we are able to get a glimpse of various cameos of DC heroes like Black Canary and Plastic Man.
Back at the enemy's base all but two of the team is taken out, M'Gann and Robin. They are captured by Ivy and her mutant plant. Ultra Humanite almost shoots Miss Manhunter in the head but she gets into his head and he misses and shoots the plant causing them to escape. The rest of the captured team is held in a cage kept in force by Wotan. He is knocked out and they get loose. The plant is then destroyed by bombs planted by the team.
The Injustice's League snaps and they start knocking out the team one by one and then Aqualad puts on the Dr. Fate mask and dispatches Wotan. Joker tries going after Robin. Wotan and Fate continue fighting. The Justice League shows up and the fight is over (for some reason). Joker detonates the remaining spores on the dying plant but fate absorbs the gas.
The end scene shows that the Injustice League was a scam and a front for the Light which consists of: Vandal Savage, Ra's al Ghul, Lex Luthor, Queen Bee, Ocean Master, the Brain, and Klarion the Witch Boy.

"Humanity"
An unnamed scientist is working on Red Tornado and the other two that came for him.Back at the Cave we are introduced to Zatanna, who is given a tour by the group and they "kidnap" her. She agreed to go along but decided she would get in less trouble if they pretended to take her. They set out to find Red Tornado because they don't feel the Justice League is doing enough.
The unnamed scientist (who we find out is T. O. Morrow) is uploading the memories of all the Red Robots into a new one. He explains that each one of them was a different attempt at making a superhero to infiltrate the Justice Society of America. Both Red Torpedo and Red Inferno (the other two) failed and did not work but Red Tornado did but betrayed his master because he was too human. He uploads all of their memories into the fourth one named Red Volcano and without any human sympathies. Red Volcano immediately tears Morrow's arms off and we simultaneously find out he is an android himself. Red Volcano's plan is to cause a volcanic eruption that will eventually kill all of humanity either through eruptions or from the resulting ash cloud covering the Earth.
Young Justice is able to find Red Tornado's location by interrogating Professor Ivo who is in prison. Zatanna casts a spell and forces him to blurt it out. They head to Yellowstone Park where he is located and they are met by a still mute Red Tornado who tries destroying them and knocks them all out. It was only a ruse to bring Red Volcano up and Red Volcano realizes the ruse and starts beating them all up. Red Inferno and Red Tornado assist the team and the three siblings of Volcano all take him down into the lava that he has caused and destroy him. Inferno and Torpedo melt along with Volcano and Red Tornado is saved by the team (minus the lower half of his legs, which melted).
We find out one of the reasons Red Tornado became their Den Mother was because he wanted to learn more about humans and become more human. He visits the real T.O. Morrow who is elderly and in a hospital bed on medical support.

As the team shows up they see that everyone at the Happy Harbor High School is dressed like superheroes which annoys Superboy.

Meanwhile Artemis and Zatanna are kicking some thugs' butts. Harm comes after the two when an explosion goes off near them.

She tries telling them that she was killed by her brother. Harm reveals that he had to kill her to be pure evil.

No one was immune, including Dr. Fate. Red Tornado was able to active a failsafe subroutine before the chip could work on him. If he tried to infect someone else, it would shut his systems down.
