Notes
Trivia
Episode Name
The original names for episodes 1 and 2 were "Independence Day" and "Fireworks" respectively. The name of this episode references multiple things:
- OL is dependent on someone's good will (In this case Wonder Woman and Green Lantern Alan Scott) and is not independent.
- OL is a Brit and not a American and would not celebrate "Those rebellious colonies'" independence.
