They are soon followed by Dinah, who realises almost immediately that her lover really is Ra's al Ghul after all. She is found observing activities by Ubu and disappoints al Ghul when she says that knowing who he is she would never consider marrying him. In which case, al Ghul says, she will just have to die. Elsewhere, Oracle has discovered al Ghul's current whereabouts and contacts a number of her operatives to effect a rescue."@en . .
