Well, since there is a spoiler warning in the thread title, here goes:
Ray Palmer, in the afterglow of sex, is talking to his wife, and she asks whether they discovered who wrote that note Jack Drake was discovered with. But Batman did not release that note to the public, and Ray Palmer knows this (gasp!). He verbally confronts his wife, and she admits that she did it all! She used Ray's shrinky stuff in the closet to try to scare Sue Dibny, but because she didn't know how it all worked, accidently went through the phone, not into the air, but into Sue's brain. Not knowing what was what, she grew slightly and this killed Sue. Then she used her portable villain torch to, well, torch Sue. The rest was all misdirection. She hired the calculator to sent a cheap villain after Jack Drake, but thought that Jack Drake would handle him with the gun.
In short, she was crazy, crazy, crazy. Her motive, to scare the heroes and win back Ray's heart in so doing. Now she is incarcerated in that gentle place of healing, Arkham Asylum (which has such a good track record I am hard-pressed to think of ONE person it has cured (maybe Harvey Dent?)).
Well at least she got some good ex-husband sex out of it.
Ray Palmer, after turning his ex-wife in, feels so "small" that he shrinks away and no one has heard from him.
Flash invites Ollie to go out with him and Clark occasionally for coffee and such.
Ollie tells Ralph to try talking to Sue. So we have this cute thing at the end where Ralph is doing just that.
Oh, and apparently Lois Lane is a terrible cook.
Finally, Flash has so far not told Batman that the other leagers took away his memories.

Oh, and now it looks like that too many villains in Arkham know who Batman is. I mean, the Riddler learned it in the Hush series, and know the Atom's wife. Unless, the satellite leaguers move in and erase some more memories...

Just a little clarity here, that afterglow, was the pre-glow, the last scene in issue #6, was sorta rushed or crammed to look like that, the full scene was fulled out in issue #7. It did look that some action did take place in IDC #6, but in truth(and a old trick), that was a primer, for the last issue. Recheck and compare.Particle_Man said:Well, since there is a spoiler warning in the thread title, here goes:

And the sad morale is, having a public life as a superhero....is just as dangerous, as in dealing with a known villian.
As for Wally, that weight, is going to effect him in many ways for the coming future...folks, it looks like the silver bullet to end the way things are in the JLA.
One day...
Wow...mercy on Bruce, the second to last person, with no superpowers...wow. And Ollie went with it. Man, bring on the pain...
And yes, Lois Lane is a bad cook, yeech...she was an army brat, traveling from base to base, in her young days...all the meals were free at that time...

Not just Batman; Jean seems to know the secret identities of the whole JLA. If she has Batman's and Superman's she's probably going to have the rest of them. Unless they messed with her brain before tossing her in Arkham, it's another disaster waiting to happen. Possibly even worse than the Identity Crisis; what if the Joker gets ahold of the list o' names?

In the end, Identity Crisis wasn't perfect, but I liked it.
But yeah, a bit too many dangling plot threads. And how did Jean Loring know
all those secret IDs? Bruce and Clark, allright, but Tim? I can believe she would
be able to discover it on her own, since she knew Bruce's, but would she then
talk so openly of Robin as 'Tim'? It just seemed strange to me.
But y'know, the series really moved me. I can't remember when the last time a
superhero comic book was able to do that.

For me, it was Crisis, Death of Supergirl and the Flash. And oh, Wonder Woman's mother, forgot which issue...sorry, just came off from watching ROTK...*sniff, sniff*Viking Bastard said:
