Reovering his senses Colonel Darnell heads to the office to put out an APB on Wonder Woman. Hippolyte was there as Diana Prince and quickly changed to Wonder Woman (without the mask this time) and not only passed for Wonder Woman to both Darnell and Steve Trevor but convinced them Darnell was duped by an imposter. Realising she had triggered the very sequence of events she had wanted to prevent Hippolyte desperately tried to contact her daughter by mental radio while hoping switching lassoes when she won their fight had done the trick.
Sure enough Duke Dalgan and his men are onboard and since she doesn't have her lasso handy Wonder Woman has to settle for beating them up. Trying to work out what happened she heads home to confront the imposter but with fate foiled Hippolyte had no reason to stick around (not even seeing how far she could lead Steve on before he realised she was the wrong woman).
If she ever worked out who the Masquerader was is unrecorded but it doesn't say much about the claim that Wonder Woman was wise as Athena. IMHO anyway.
