Synopsis
Needing to spare Mayfly's life, Wonder Woman attempts a desperate tactic. Meanwhile, Ares Buchanan initiates a more subtle ploy to destroy his Amazon enemy.

Indexer Notes

Wonder Woman describes "taking the spear," a tactic devised by Hippolyte when Hercules' [sic] men invaded Themyscira: the Amazons would let down their guard to provoke a thrust from their opponent, bringing the men close enough for the kill. Wonder Woman is shot in defeating Mayfly. Donna Milton moves into Camille Sly's boarding house.
