Tom Lone interrogates Patience at the police station. Patience tries to explain Hedare's Beau-line conspiracy, but Tom points out that the same gun that killed Slavicky was in her hand at the scene of George's murder. Patience tearfully protests, "Catwoman's hands!"

Patience tries to convince Tom that she is telling the truth, but she is finally locked up and left to contemplate her fate. Some time later, Midnight squeezes through the window and snuggles up to Patience, inspiring her to squeeze between the bars and escape from her cell.

Patience escapes the police station by leaping out of a window, landing in the middle of the street and getting hit by a car. When the driver emerges to help her, Patience shoves him aside and speeds away in his car.

Patience may be an alleged murderer, but here Tom Lone demonstrates an ethical lapse of his own as he takes charge of a criminal investigation against his own girlfriend. However, this development can only prove once and for all that Tom is the only authority figure in town, which might account for the lack of police response to, for example, shotgun blasts during a jewelry heist. And while Patience may not have been directly responsible for George's murder, she says it all when she insists that "George found out [about Beau-line] and Laurel killed him," as Catwoman is in fact the one who gave George this information.

To be sure, Patience is not in the most defensible position here, but she continues damning herself as Tom argues that she was found holding a gun over George's dead body: Patience's lame correction that it was Catwoman, not herself, holding the gun only makes her look schizophrenic, while totally omitting the fact-based defense of "Laurel threw me the gun in order to frame me." Patience's following plea for Tom to remember the "real" her is equally ill-advised, as the "real" Patience is the one who lies to her boyfriend and eats seafood with her fingers.

On the other hand, as Ophelia Powers explained, contradictions such as these are an essential part of a woman's duality. Catwoman argues that a woman should be free to explore her dangerous side, but she may get thrown in jail for it, as Patience has. Fortunately, Midnight's hermaphroditic appearance reminds us that duality gets much more complicated than Patience's predicament; additionally, Midnight demonstrates a surprising new power as he/she projects on-the-nose voiceover directly into Patience's brain: "You've spent a lifetime caged," Ophelia's voice informs a character who is literally caged.

Patience's ability to slip out of her cell is certainly impressive, but it's nothing compared to the fact that she wanders around a police department without being seen by a single guard, officer, or security camera. In fact, Patience is so stealthy that she actually teleports to avoid discovery by some passing cops. (Really.) Truly embracing her feline side, Patience's writhing descent from a fifth floor window all the way down to the street demonstrates how far she has come since Ophelia shoved her off a balcony and threw documents at her.

Unfortunately, just like a cat, Patience doesn't seem to have much of a long-term memory, and despite her tears, she has failed to learn a single thing public behavior from her stint in police custody. As she physically assaults a man trying to help her, leaving him in the street while she peels away in his expensive car, we can at least appreciate the duality of a woman who manages to be such a terrible person while going out of her way to save the world.

In balletic slow motion, Patience leaps from the fifth floor window of the police station. With impossible fluidity and grace, her body twists in mid-air so that she lands with her hands and feet pointed down.

Patience's body lands with a THUD on the concrete. After a few moments, an expensive car runs her over.

Driver: Get out of the road!
