While West believes the NSA should let Zeta go, Lemack still thinks Zeta is dangerous and orders Bennett to resume the manhunt since Lemack believes Zeta has no knowledge on the difference between what is good and what is bad and Lemack wants to know what Selig's plans were for Zeta before he died. In the meantime, while Zeta is mourning Dr. Selig's death, he and Ro check into a hotel. Unfortunately, Bennett arrives to apprehend them and Zeta escapes with her.

In the meantime at an underwater prison where Sweet is being held, Commander Hamilton mocks Sweet about his imprisonment while revealing Selig to be alive and well.

Sweet then vows revenge.

In flashbacks, after his confrontation with Batman and Paxton, Blight has been trapped beneath Gotham Harbor for months and, because of his condition, he no longer needs oxygen and food to survive. After Blight emerges from the water, he comes across a former Wayne-Power scientist, Doctor French, who helps Blight build his suit.

Bennett starts to wonder whether Zeta truly is a peaceful robot after hearing De Flores' testimony of how Zeta saved his life. Bennett's superiors begin to loose faith in him bringing Zeta in which is why Lemack decides to takeover the operation himself with the intent of reprogramming him.

Meanwhile, Dr. Edmund finally meets with Bennett in his office to explain to him how Brother's Day threatened to kill him if he refused to cooperate with them and how they hate robots since Sweet fears they will takeover the human race. Dr. Edmund asks for protection from the government in exchange for testifying against Sweet. Remembering how Sweet didn't know who Zeta was and believing Edmund to be sincere, Bennett accepts his deal and informs Lemack to get back on his good side.

A member of the Justice League named Clark Kent aka Superman learns how Zeta might be dangerous from Colonel Lemack and decides to go after Zeta himself.

Zeta and Ro decide to help the baby's grandmother Iris West when they learn that scientists led by Dr. Eobard Thawne aren't helping the child. After learning that the baby is Bart Allen, Agent West decides to resign from the NSA in disgust despite Lemack having Thawne arrested. When Lemack learns that Zeta and Ro helped thwart Thawne's experiments after reviewing the security footage, he also starts to wonder whether he misjudged Zeta, as Superman has vouched for Zeta. Note: Agent West is revealed to be the grandson of Wally West aka the Flash and the grandnephew of Iris West. 
7. "Capitalism"-Zeta and Ro go to the park to relax so they can wait for Dr. Edmund's hearing, however that perfect day is ruined when Agent Bennett is taking his family to the park for the day. However, Bennett wonders whether to trust Zeta or not. During the hearing, Dr. Edmund testifies how he was coerced into working for Brother's Day and how Zeta and Ro were infiltrating the Nosis on his behalf. He also speaks favorably of Zeta during the trial by stating that Zeta is not the killer that everyone perceives him as and that Brother's Day would have destroyed Zeta if they discovered him as they despise the advancements made with synthoids. Zeta and Ro flee from Bennett and the NSA when Bennett discovers them. Eventually, after Dr. Edmund's hearing, Zeta and the NSA reach an understanding. Agent Bennett explains to Zeta that when a synthoid stops following orders, it is normal for the NSA to assume that the synthoid was compromised. Because Zeta is still government property and the government no longer has any use for Zeta due to the new synthoids from Dr. Selig's research being online, Lemack then withdraws the warrants for Zeta and Ro's arrests. However, Bennett will still check in with Zeta and Ro occasionally to ensure things are okay. Zeta is relieved to finally have his freedom and believes Dr. Selig really did earn him his freedom. However, Ro tells Zeta that it was not just Dr. Selig, it was also because of him, and reminds Zeta that her turn is next. Zeta then vows to help Ro find her parents.
