CHANGES
With his hopes for a relationship with Kia dashed, David begins to throw himself into his work both as a gov't agent and as the vigilante Bat-Wing! To make things more difficult, the Congo Investigation Bureau has reassigned teams and now David's new partner is Dakota Johnson while Kia and Rick Flagg have been assigned as partners. The CIB has been getting reports of a human smuggling operation on the Western border with the country of Ahzun and have sent Kia and Rick to investigate.
Meanwhile David and Dakota are looking into the death of a Chinese businessman who was working with the Congo gov't to invest in a new tech hub in the city of Jarmun. There were reports of local officials opposed to the idea because of the use of outside labor to build the facility. The Chinese have sent their own agent, Xin Khan to investigate and there already has been tension between both groups! Xin believes locals were behind the death but David thinks that it's too obvious. He thinks someone else is behind the murders and has an idea of who it might be: OSIRUS CEO Lena Killian!

THE LONG,DARK ROAD: PART III
Richard Dragon has just shocked Connor, Avila, Tasha al Ghul and The Magus with stunning news! He is no longer the head of The Assassin's Guild! The ancient organization that he has led for decades is now under new leadership! After The Guilds' last defeat at the hands of Connor with the help of Shiva and the Left Hand Clan, the elders demanded new leadership! Billy Badass and Anita Ass-Kicker convinced the elders and members that they were the ones to rebuild the organization from the ashes of defeat and make it better than before!
With Dragon no longer the head of The Guild, Connor tells his mother that there is no longer a need for them to kill him and put Connor at the head. Dragon laughs and asks Tasha if this is the lie that she told her son? That he would be in charge of The Guild? The Magus grabs Dragon by his throat and slings him across the courtyard.
Dragon looks at Connor and tells him that they could kill him and go after Billy and Anita and kill them as well. But that would not put him in charge! The Guild, like any other successful organization is built upon a belief, a deep conviction that what you are doing is right. And Connor doesn't have that conviction! In order to truly build, you have to believe in what you are building. Connor thinks for a long time and tells everyone that he has decided that he will be the one to forge his own destiny and he has an idea on how to do it!
