Ep 10. Targets

In "Targets," the tenth episode of Young Justice's first season, the team is sent on a mission to protect a foreign diplomat from an assassination attempt. The diplomat is in town to sign an important trade agreement, but the trade agreement is controversial and has many enemies.

The episode opens with the team briefed on their mission by Red Tornado. They're told to protect the diplomat and his family at all costs, and to keep a low profile while doing so. The mission is simple enough, but tensions are high among the team due to their recent experiences with Aqualad.

Megan, in particular, is upset because Aqualad lied to her about his mission in Atlantis. She confronts him about it, but he doesn't back down. Meanwhile, Superboy and Miss Martian continue to explore their growing relationship, but it's clear that Superboy is still grappling with his emotions.

As the team prepares for the mission, they're confronted by a group of gunmen who seem like they're there to take out the diplomat. The team engages in an intense battle, but it's quickly revealed that the gunmen are actually part of a training exercise. The team is slightly embarrassed by the mistake, but Red Tornado assures them that it's better to make mistakes in training than on a real mission.

The team's next opportunity to prove themselves comes when they're given a chance to practice their covert operations skills. They're tasked with infiltrating a U.S. naval base and stealing a piece of technology, then returning it without getting caught. The mission is a success, but the team is left wondering why Red Tornado wanted them to steal the technology.

Their questions are answered when they return to base and find that Red Tornado has used the technology to create an android version of himself. The android is tasked with leading the team on their mission to protect the diplomat, and the real Red Tornado watches from a distance.

The team's mission to protect the diplomat is challenging from the start. They're forced to navigate a complicated web of security measures, and they're constantly on guard for any sign of an attack. Their efforts are complicated by the presence of several other superhero teams, who are also in town for various reasons.

As the team works to protect the diplomat, they uncover a larger conspiracy involving the trade agreement. They race against time to stop the conspiracy from being carried out, and they're successful in doing so. The diplomat and his family are ultimately kept safe, and the team emerges from the mission with a newfound sense of pride in their abilities.

Overall, "Targets" is an exciting and action-packed episode that further showcases the strengths of the Young Justice team. The mission to protect the diplomat is complex and challenging, but the team rises to the occasion and proves that they have what it takes to be true young heroes.
