Batman was able to grab Alfred and help him regain his senses. Back at the cave, Batman did blood work on him and learned Hush had infected him with Clayface blood. Two detectives knocked on the door of Wayne Manor and told Bruce some of his belongings had been found in a dead guy's apartment. Since he had an alibi, they asked to speak to his "servant." Bruce told them Alfred was away. Bruce locked him up in the cave knowing he was the last person to see the director alive. Bruce spoke with Akins and found Alfred outside police headquarters. He took him home and went after Hush.
Hush realized he needed a strain of Clayface DNA that was not altered by human DNA. The only pure sample could come from Cassius.
Batman caught up with Hush and was taken by surprise when he ended up grabbing Clayface. The real Hush held a gun to his cowl.
