Synopsis for "Never an Option!"
At the Gotham International Airport, two men take a woman as a hostage. However, Two-Face shows up and rescues her on the premise of luck.
At GCPD Headquarters, Commissioner Gordon, Dr. Sloane, and Batman discuss a string of good deeds that Harvey has done recently. Dr. Sloane explains that she switched Harvey's coin for a fake version that always landed "good" side up, thus causing him to bring out his other personality, "The Judge", which means he will try to carry out his own death sentence.
Batman visits a prisoner that worked for Two-Face until he was turned in by him, to interrogate him about Two-Face's plans.
At a museum, two thieves prepare to steal a double-headed coin when Two-Face appears to arrest them. Just then, Batman flies in, taking care of the criminals, but Two-Face knocks a large statue onto him. When Batman awakes, he flips his coin, which lets Batman live.
In the Batcave, Batman discovers that Two-Face is planning to fly to South America, where he previously did illicit business.
At the runway, Two-Face is greeted by the pilots and they take off, Batman stowed away. On the plane, Two-Face forces the pilots to parachute out. Batman wrestles with Two-Face, but accidentally destroys the controls. As a result, Two-Face flips to see who gets to wear the last parachute and decides that it is his time to die, jumping out. Batman saves him, deploying the parachute, and promises Harvey that it will get better for him.
