The story so far: Serpina escaped Cobra Commander's cave. Carding found the sickly girl in the woods and took her back to the orphanage. Valentina tries to cure Serpina and gets totally freaked out by the girl. Mad Scientist Dr. Morgan puts a shock collar on Hawk Woman so Shiro can control her. Eduardo is starting to exhibit unusual strength. Turns out that sour puss Miss Perfecta was briefly married to Armida's ex-boyfriend. You know, the one Hawk Woman picked up and dropped on his head on his wedding day.
Shiro continues to torture/train Hawk Woman. She learns her brother is still alive.
Valentina returns to the orphanage claiming she just wants to check up on how Serpina is doing. The young girl is silent and won't talk to anyone yet Valentina can read her mind. When she grabs Serpina's arm, the connection allows Valentina to see the memory of when Serpina found that pod thingy with Valentina's mother inside. Valentina goes to dig up her mother's grave and indeed she finds it empty.
Hawk Woman is able to escape her captors. She'll come back for them later, but right now she wants vengeance against Father Mateo. He's been feeling guilty that because of him innocent people were harmed by Hawk Woman's wrath, therefore he announces to his parishioners he's going to resign from the church and go hide somewhere far away. But it's too little too late as right then Hawk Woman appears.
Father Mateo begs for forgiveness but Hawk Woman ain't handing it out. Miss Perfecta angrily confronts Armida for killing her husband. Hawk Woman simply picks them both up and flies away with the elderly couple. Narda is in the congregation and is finally able to slip away and become Darna.
High up in the fake sky, Hawk Woman teases Darna to make a choice as to who she'll save, then drops both of them. At least Father Mateo is quick enough to grab onto Hawk Woman's leg. Darna swoops in and is able to catch Miss Perfecta before she goes splat. Father Mateo begs his sister to stop committing sins. She reminds him of how he once dropped her and she goes flying even higher, Mateo clinging to her ankle for dear life.
A filthy Valentina, searching for her mother, returns to Snake Cave and finds the pod that contains Consuela's body. She tries to revive her mother but to no avail. Fearing she'll be caught by Cobra, Valentina leaves and tries to come up with a plan to free her mother.
After handing an unconscious Perfecta off to Gabriel, Darna flies back up to confront Hawk Woman. What is that in her hands. Is that a manhole cover? Yes, I believe it is. Darna flings the manhole cover at Hawk Woman, injurying her. Mateo is knocked loose and freefalls back to earth. Darna is able to grab him but he's far from thankful for her interfering. He actually wanted to die and perhaps appease his crazy sister.
Since she lost her brother, Hawk Woman moves on to Vengeance #2: Shiro. Alicia (wearing yet another hat) understands that Hawk Woman will be back and she urges Shiro and his gang to vacate their hideout immediately. As they're driving away, Hawk Woman lands in front of their car. Shiro uses a machine gun against her but Hawk Woman is fast enough to dodge all the bullets. Alicia, grabbing a gun from a dead and unimportant gang member, orders Shiro to get away while she keeps Hawk Woman busy. Hawk Woman smacks Alicia around a bit before Darna is able to once again show up with no explanation of how she knew where to be.
Shiro and his gang make it to an airport and get on a private plane. He doesn't seem all that concerned about going back to help his mother. Interestingly it is Liberty, Shiro's moll, who chooses to stay behind to try to find Alicia. I don't know why Shiro thinks he can get away in an airplane as Hawk Woman easily catches up to him. Hawk Woman pushes a button on her wrist control panel and... what the hell? Is that a missile launcher coming up on her shoulder? Dr. Morgan must have put it there when he did some modifications. Still, where does it fit on her bionic flight suit?
No! Must stop asking logical questions!
Hawk Woman launches a rocket at the airplane. The engine explodes in a ball of fire and the plane nosedives, crashing in the thick jungle. Hawk Woman and Darna have a staring contest up in the sky. Down at the crash sight something strange begins to happen. The ground shakes and green light bursts upwards to form a wormhole. Is this Tree Woman returning? Oh, I hope it's Tree Woman.
While Darna and Hawk Woman tussle up above, we see Shiro somehow has survived the fiery crash. Father Mateo worries that Darna may kill his sister. Hawk Woman shoots daggers at Darna. Darna is able to catch one and throw it back, hitting Hawk Woman in the chest. Armida plummets to the ocean and sinks down to Davey Jones' Locker.
Darna goes to check on Shiro. He's dying and repentant, asking Darna to tell his mother he's sorry. Darna returns his body to his mother. Alicia blames Darna for not saving her son like she asked. Then Father Mateo shows up and yells at Darna for killing his sister. Everyone's turning against her.
An upset Darna goes for counseling from Filipino Isis. She just basically tells Darna you can't please all of the people all of the time. Thanks alot, Filipino Isis. Darna notices she hasn't regained her power of speed, thus Hawk Woman must not be dead.
