Synopsis
March 19: At Nightwing's request, Artemis rejoins the Team to help ensure the safe launch of one of Carol Ferris's communications satellites. The satellite is meant to strengthen relations between Earth and Mars, but Black Manta has sent Aqualad and his men to destroy it. Upon confronting the villains, Lagoon Boy is captured while Nightwing and Artemis deal with the ground assault. They soon find themselves up against Aqualad, who fails to destroy the rocket but kills Artemis. The rocket explodes anyway, and the heroes are unable to save their fallen friend.
March 20: Aqualad reports to Black Manta, who reveals that he had planted the bomb that destroyed the rocket in order to test whether his son would take credit for the victory or not. At Mount Justice, the Team mourns the death of their friend. On the waterfront of Bl?dhaven, Nightwing and Wally meet in secret with Aqualad and Artemis, whose death was faked. Aqualad's defection from the Team and 'killing' of Artemis was part of a ruse to ensure that the pair could go undercover to learn more about the Light and their Partner. Artemis is given an amulet (which Zatanna had made) that will disguise her looks to everyone except Nightwing, Aqualad and Wally, then she and Aqualad leave together.

Production notes
Season two is retitled Young Justice: Invasion, and takes place five years after the events of the first season. This continues the story of the young heroes as the team (Aqualad, Kid Flash, Superboy, Miss Martian and Artemis)- now led by Nightwing- and its new members (Robin, Blue Beetle, Beast Boy, Lagoon Boy, Wonder Girl, Bumblebee, Batgirl) go deeper and more covert than ever before. As team rivalry and personal conflicts arise, the team must band together to fight the real threat that faces Earth.
