Terry McGinnis: Tibet. He's visiting some old guru mentor friend. He's got them all over the place.
Max: Perfect. You can take Dana out to that cozy restaurant on the beach.
Terry McGinnis: Can't. Gotta work.
Max: You know you're skating on thin ice with her already.

Composed by Kristopher Carter
And here she's almost a sympathetic character when she suffers a blow by a molecule destabelizer from a backstabbing partner in crime and must seek help.
But not just anyone. The helping hand is none other than her daughter who isn't really an angel herself. Their shared moments add more dimensions to Inque by revealing some of their tragic history which is excellent in its set-up and the eventual pay-off.
Terry and his now loyal behind-the-scenes helper Max Gibson are working on solving the mystery of Inque's return, and while Max at times seem to pressure Terry into showing her more of his secrets as Batman more than helping him out of kindness, she also acts as a good link between Dana and Terry in their rocky relationship.
Bruce Wayne is out of town, so sering Terry work things out this way is a nice sign of personal growth. And the music score in this episode is used very well to enhance the feeling of danger and the impact the fight scenes have on the ones involved.
Oooh, and that ending! I both love it and hate for reasons I keep out of this review.
