In issue #60, Oracle made a shocking decision. Now Babs and Dinah must face the consequences! And to make matters worse, the Birds are hunted by their most powerful foe yet: the U.S. government!

Oracle feels that Black Canary's mistakes in the field mean that they should end their current working relationship, but comes to realise that she needs to trust Canary more. She also considers bringing Huntress in to the operation on a probationary basis. Meanwhile, Savant escapes from imprisonment, vowing to track the Birds down, and Canary begins a training regime with various super-hero friends and allies.
