Synopsis: - Culp and the Mist stand off against Starman and the Shade, even as Phosphorus and Rag Doll reveal that they gained their new leases of life from Neron, who wanted revenge on the Shade. Ted Knight kills Phosphorus with the last of his rod's energy, and invites Rag Doll to kill him: it'll be easier that way as he is already dying of radiation sickness. Rag Doll leaves him and prepares to quit Opal as darkness engulfs the city.
- Adam Strange is forced to make a horrible decision and guides Bodine to kill himself via a zeta beam, which then causes his wife to faint. Jack, meanwhile, fells the Mist with a blast from his cosmic rod, and the O'Dares arrive to save Faith and Charity from the corrupt Barry.
- Solomon Grundy sacrifices himself to save Mikaal, for no discernible reason, and Shade draws all of the shadow power back into himself. Hamilton Drew arrives on the scene with the Dibnys, presenting the evidence that Jon Valor (the Black Pirate) was innocent all along, thus freeing him and the rest of Opal's souls. As the army of Rann arrives with Will Payton (able to get in now that the dome of darkness, bound together by Opal's departed souls, has been dissolved), Culp holds the Mist's life to ransom, but is summarily dispatched by a new arrival on the scene, the original Mist, obviously another recipient of Neron's gift of power.
