Helena is invited to a high school reunion, but isn't keen on going. However, when her classmates start being killed by an apparently invisible assailant, she becomes more deeply involved than she'd originally intended.

For one lovely minute, I thought that this would be a really cool episode in which Batman turned up. Some hope. What it actually is is a fairly poor effort revolving around a metahuman with the ability to blend in with his surroundings in a chameleon-esque way. He's called Cam, just in case you're in need of a giant signpost, although I admit I didn't catch on, possibly because I lost interest fairly early on.

It's increasingly difficult to work out exactly what the point of some of these episodes is. There's certainly no sign of character exploration in this story. We get to meet Wade's obnoxious parents, who are still telling their son he won't get anywhere with Barbara because she's in a wheelchair, Helena debates the pros and cons of a secret identity and Dinah stands about and looks pretty. The Wade scene seems present purely to remind us Babs has a boyfriend, and, as Alfred points out, Helena has little reason to complain about her true identity being known when she never wears a mask. Apparently it's because it makes her mascara run. Brilliant. Once again, the writers manage to make Helena slightly more two-dimensional and risible, as she's now willing to put the lives of herself and those close to her in danger because of fashion.

As for poor old Dinah, last episode she got some rather swanky kick-ass new clothes. This week she's back in pastel shades and flowers, and isn't allowed out of the clocktower. Why the hell can't she be let out and made a proper part of the team? Are the writers just too lazy to bother? She certainly doesn't serve much purpose at Helena's reunion as she wanders about aimlessly. I'm not sure why Helena has to have every major plotline when there are two other characters present who can carry stories just as well, if not better.

The villain of the week is one of the worst so far. Apparently he just wants to be noticed, and for some reason has decided to kill his classmates to help with this. He wants Helena to love him like he loves her, so naturally his first choice is to start murdering people she knew from school. Okay, so we're led to believe his mind is warped, but what makes him think this method will work? More likely the writers simply couldn't come up with a half-decent motivation, so they just didn't bother. On top of this, his death is simplistic, convenient and in no way satisfying. And what's happened to Harley? So much for her being a major player on this show; she's nowhere near Buffy-like big bad status.

Finally, we've got Reese finally learning who Helena is. Oh, big excitement. Not only is their dialogue even more embarrassing than normal: "I'm a bartender. A good bartender." "I bet you are." *wiggles eyebrows* Sorry, what is this meant to mean? Is this the exciting new dating technique: say things without a double meaning and try to convince someone else that they have one by facial distortion? I think not. I'm really glad this show is nearly over; it's getting nowhere fast. But I still have the sad feeling that the potential to make this a big hit was there, it's just been completely squandered.
