Lady Shiva takes Stephanie in Cassandra's body to her penthouse in Gotham's Diamond District. She forces "Cassandra" to change into a dress and have dinner with her. Shiva tells Stephanie that she deliberately left the broken piece of sword blade at the scene so she would find it, and that she has chosen to move against the League because the victim's daughter reminded her of Cassandra. She also tells Stephanie that she knows she is not her daughter and attacks her, demanding to know where Cassandra is. In fact, Cassandra in Stephanie's body has been kidnapped by Stephanie's father the Cluemaster, who appears to be unhinged after being clinically dead for three days. He drives Cassandra out of the city to a cabin in the woods; she finds that she can't break her bonds, and so takes careful note of landmarks on the journey. Stephanie in Cassandra's body manages to fend Lady Shiva off for a while, as her spontaneous, improvisational fighting style confounds Lady Shiva's ability to analyse her opponent's movements. However, Shiva overpowers her and Stephanie admits the truth, also telling Shiva that she knows she won't kill her, as that would mean killing Cassandra as well. Shiva lets her go and admits that she loves Cassandra, even if she didn't grow up to be what she wanted. She asks Stephanie to tell Cassandra that she is proud of her, because she can't tell her herself. Meanwhile at Wayne Manor, Barbara and Bruce quickly determine that the mysterious coin is indeed magic, and call in Zatanna to consult. Zatanna mystically determines that the last person to touch the coin before Stephanie was an old woman named "Zora", whom Barbara is able to easily track down as she advertises as a psychic in the phone book. They track "Dame Cami Zora" down, and Barbara quickly deduces that she is in fact Madame Zodiac, a criminal mystic and fortune teller. Zodiac tells them that she simply granted the Batgirls' wish to be each other for a day, and that the spell will wear off soon as it has been almost twenty-four hours since they switched. Indeed, at the penthouse, Cassandra switches back into her own body. Lady Shiva asks her daughter to join her and take control of the League, but Cassandra simply takes her gear and leaves to rescue Stephanie. As she leaves, Shiva tells Cassandra she will be waiting for her if she chooses to return. Meanwhile at the cabin, Stephanie returns to her own body, and finds herself bound to a chair and facing her father.
