In the past, it was revealed that Barbara Minevra was a struggling archaeologist who tried to find Themiscyra but failed. Wonder Woman realizes that her Lasso of Truth allows her to communicate with Etta, Barbara, and Steve and at a mall when The Sear Group (same group who shot down Steve Trevor's plane) attack, but Wonder Woman and Steve help apprehend them.
