The resolution of the Robin serial killer, taking place in Mid-October...

After the connection between the two dark-haired teenage male victims has been established -- they both were represented by the same acting agency -- the GCPD went to work, combing through all the client's files and finding any teenage actors that fit the physical description even remotely. Several phone calls later, one teenager was apparently missing -- Zack Weston.

Searching one of the bedrooms of the deceased teens, Detectives Driver and MacDonald came across a big tip -- the business card of Gotham Gazette journalist Simon Lippman, who had been frequenting Central for this case due to the photos that were leaking with his articles.

Quick to find Weston before he turned up somewhere dead in a Robin costume, Montoya and Allen track Lippman down and arrest him for murder. MacDonald and Driver brief the other detectives about canvassing neighborhoods in search for anything to find Zack Weston before it was too late.

In one of the interrogation rooms, Captain Sawyer herself accompanied Montoya and Allen in the questioning of Simon Lippman. He stuck to his story -- he wasn't going to give up his source for the photographs and claimed to have no connection to the murders. Eventually he tried to explain that he didn't even know the source of the photos, that they arrived anonymously and that half the department has his business card so that finding it in a kid's room was nothing special.

A freelance journalist came up to the front desk of the MCU squadroom, asking to speak to Detectives Driver and MacDonald. Stacy tells him that that can't happen -- until he showed her Zack Weston's school identification card. Immediately she called Driver and MacDonald and the man told them they have the wrong man in interrogation.

As it would turn out, this journalist by the name of Dunning just wanted to give Lippman a front seat to an exclusive story -- the confession of the Robin killer.

That wasn't it though. In interrogation with Montoya and Allen, Lippman pressed him for the truth -- if he had lost his fucking mind. But Dunning said no, he was completely lucid. He had planted the business card so that Lippman would be here for this. But Dunning wouldn't confess to anyone but Batman -- this was to be his entrance into that world.

Captain Sawyer and several of her detectives debated the point until she went down the hall to Commissioner Gordon's office. Soon enough, Gordon told her to get Stacy to meet him on the roof. As a civilian, she was the only one who could turn on the Bat signal.

They did not have to wait long -- before they knew it, Batman was behind them, lurking in the shadows. Gordon and Detective Driver explained the situation and the only thing Batman told them to do was cut the lights in the interrogation room.

Dunning got what he wanted -- a visit from the Bat. However, it did not come without a price. Outside the interrogation room, the detectives listened in over the intercom to Batman's interrogation -- violent and sporadic they struggled to make out what Dunning was trying to say until they get the piece of information they need -- Zack Weston was in the boiler room of Dunning's apartment building and the address. Captain Sawyer immediately dispatched Montoya and Allen while Dunning continued to whimper after Batman, asking for understanding. But Batman was gone.

A couple uniformed police officers took Dunning away for processing. Zack Weston was found in the East End apartment building and returned safely to his family. Lippman got an exclusive statement for the story and managed to make the MCU look good in the process. Stacy even managed to get Detective Chandler's gun back with the real Robin's help before the wrath of Captain Sawyer could fall on the squad room over the fact that Batman took her duty weapon.

It might not have been an entirely happy ending, but it was the best one available.
