Synopsis: - In the grand tradition of villains everywhere, Stanley Dover explains to Green Arrow who he is and the essence of his plan. Basically, he wants to take over Arrow's body and use it to begin a new life, starting by getting to know Mia intimately. He was turned on to Satanism as a young man and has been pursuing the means to eternal life ever since, stealing the Magdalene Grimoire and eventually discovering that his grandson's supposed imagnary friend was actually a powerful demon called The Beast With No Name. He kidnapped his own grandson and has held him prisoner, hoping the Beast would rescue him, only to be trapped itself. But now, Dover is going to use the fact that Arrow is a 'hollow', a man without a soul, to take over his body for good.
- Outside the house, Batman and company find themselves unable to enter, for it is protected by a blood seal, and only those related to those inside may enter. Luckily, Connor Hawke sensed his father needed him and has arrived on the scene.
