Dick's team has gone their separate ways with Lucius Jr, Helena, and Donald in their own team. It is just Dick and King who are working together as Night Wing and Guardian. Yuri Dimitrov, otherwise known as the Russian, and head of the Solntsevskaya Bratva branch in Bludhaven, is found dead sitting in his restaurant with strange wounds on the head. The suspects are his rival the Chechen, his accountant, his son Mikhail, Michael "Mutt",and his son's girlfriend Nancy, who is a teacher. The other team investigates when a team of Bratva thugs is gunned down by an apparent "army", the surviving mobster Ishmael Gregor, believes that the Chechen is behind all of this and declares war on him.

Mikhail was enraged when he found out that his father was having an affair with his girlfriend and had impregnated her, leading him to kill his father with a meat tenderizer. Donald learns from his former contacts that his former crew was murdered by the same "army" as the Bratva.

Myra agrees to this only if Gregor wears a wire to a meeting with a high-level drug lord. Visiting the crime scene where all the Bratva thugs were murdered, Dick deduces that they have a missing dog goes to an apartment where he finds it unharmed and the Vigilante impostor, who has been listening to Myra's operation with Gregor on a police radio, attacks.

# "Civil War"-Konstantine Kovar, a high-profile member of the Bratva whose son Leonid was killed by the Vigilante impostor, arrives in Bludhaven to seek revenge and tracks the dog that the impostor took to his apartment and wrongfully believes it to be Donald.

While there, Wallenstein became involved with organized crime, using the profits from his illegal activities to finance a return to Vlatava.
# "Justice On Trial"-Dick stands trial for the murder of Queen Perdita in a federal court with a lawyer representing him. Due to the severity of the crime, Julia Pennyworth and the FBI get involved in this case with Julia being able to get charges dropped for vigilantism due to the fact that Dick had immunity from federal prosecution provided by the FBI when taking down Junior Musto. However, Dick is still on trial for the murder of Queen Perdita. Bruce publicly denies being Batman due to the public revelation that Dick Grayson is Night Wing. King tries to provide a reasonable alibi for Dick only for the prosecution to diminish it by making mention that King failed to provide details as to why Scarapelli kidnapped him years ago when Scarpelli accused several officers of breaking into his associate's son home to injure him. King is forced to leave to track down a serial killer who destroys metahumans by taking on their powers. Bullock reveals to King that he is appearing as a witness for the prosecution against Dick. In the meantime, Bruce has Barbara plant numerous false alibies for Dick throughout the internet. After the killer is defeated, Dick is eventually found guilty by the jury and is sentenced to life in prison by Judge Maria Vargas. However, a public protest, led by a man who idolizes Night Wing named Tad Ryertad, goes on outrage and everyone begins to harass the judge and the prosecutor for their role in Dick's imprisonment. Because of the circumstances, the Judge decides to take Dick to a federal maximum security prison as recommended by Dorian Chase, who later meets with Hans telling him that everything went as according to plan. Before Dick is arrested, he partially admits the truth to Gotham without jeopardizing his allies' secrets, claiming he was a paid agent of a group called Batman Incorporated and from what he could tell, there was twenty-people being Batman at the time. Dick urges his friends and allies to continue fighting to save the city telling him that his name will eventually get cleared. In prison, Dick walks to his cell, with criminals acting violently towards him now that they know he is Night Wing and Warden Samandra Watson tells Dick to get comfortable since he will be there for a long period of time.

Unfortunately, several inmates want to bring down Dick due to his actions as Night Wing such as Icicle. King, Julia, Marina, Bruce, Alfred, and Barbara work together to clear Dick's name with Bruce confessing his secret to King when King asks for it. There are also tensions between King and Marina since King knew Dick was Night Wing beforehand and didn't tell her as part of their relationship with King telling that Marina that DIck being Night Wing was not his secret to tell. King then gets distracted when he has to prevent the judge who sentenced Dick to prison from being assassinated by the Vigilante impostor, whom he discovers is Dorian. Dorian attempts another assassination attempt on a TV interview but is subdued by Guardian. Dorian leaves not before telling King and Marina that the death of his brother inspired him to become like this. King and Marina watch helplessly as he vanishes into the night. Marina then tells King that Dorian feigned grief from the death of his brother Adrian and suspects that Dorian is hiding something which is why King goes to Helena, Lucius Jr, and Donald for help, explaining the situation to them. Dick's landlady Bridget Clancy faces an investigation by two FBI agents and she finds comfort in her new tenant Tad Ryerstad, who has forced some children vandalizing her property to wash off the mess that they made. In prison, Dick is taking a shower but ambushed by several thugs who attempt to stab him to death.

# "Shrink Wrap"-Dick meets Hartley Rathaway, a villain known as the Pied Piper who was arrested years ago by the Flash (Evan Peters) when he attempted to assassinate his parents Rachel and Osgood Rathaway. He was set to eventually take over the family business, Rathaway Industries, founded by his grandfather. However, when he came out as gay to his parents, they disowned Hartley which angered him. Hartley uses the ants to communicate with Dick and offers to include him in a plan to escape. Dick tells Hartley that he will need some time to think about it. King and Helena go to New York to investigate the crime scene where Dorian's brother Adrian and his family died while Donald and Lucius Jr. break into Dorian's office in the middle of the night to check his laptop. There, they find Dorian motivating his patients, women are wealthy and powerful, to commit suicide. During the investigation, King and Helena follow a lead when a Manhattan vigilante calling himself the Electrocutioner starts killing criminals in cold blood. The Electrocutioner first kills two muggers in Central Park with lethal doses of electricity from his gauntlets and then breaks into Charles McDade's limousine where he kills him as well as his lady friend Mona Simpson. King and Helena work together to defeat him and unmask him to be Lester Buckinsky, who was one of the people that Adrian tried to prosecute before his death for electrocuting blonde women to death. Donald and Lucius Jr. present the videos to King about what Dorian has been doing after Buchinsky explains that he met Dorian when he had those urges and Dorian convinced Lester to embrace him. Buchinsky explains he was being merciful to the women he killed, by ending their suffering. His claim of a sympathetic attachment to the girls is, however, contradicted by his actions, as he is shown jovially adding hair to his "trophy collection", coldly dumping them in a barrel and electrocuting them, and then dumping their body encased in the barrel. In prison, Dick is having oatmeal only to be attacked by Heat Monger, who sets his oatmeal to an extremely high temperature. Dick throws the oatmeal onto Heat Monger's face and then gets into a prison fight that the guards are able to break up. Dick then decides to accept Hartley's offer to escape out of desperation.
