EVERY TIME I FAIL

Barbara is trying to get some answers out of Sally McKnight about Knightfall, when Kate kicks in the window and knocks McKnight aside. Barbara is surprised when McKnight grabs her gun and says that Kate is with Knightfall. Barbara tries to remember everything she knows about Kate, and doesn't think she knows anything about her combat skills. She grabs Kate and tells her to stop, when Kate knees Babs in the stomach and the two start to fight. Barabara calls "uncle" and Kate asks who does that anymore. Babs tries to clean up her bloody nose, and Kate hands her a handkerchief. Kate says that she's her for McKnight after she caught the attention of the DEO, but Babs says she needs to stays with her. McKnight gets a call from Knightfall who wants Babs to come to her alone.

Babs arrives at the meeting point and starts to fight Knightfall's goons. Babs reveals that she didn't come alone and both Kate and McKnight arrive. Kate tells Babs to go, and Babs asks if she's sure. Kate assures her that they have this and Babs needs to go.

A BLADE OF MEMORY
