After witnessing the explosion that seemingly killed Alec and the swamp creature, Abby approaches Avery in an attempt to get at Alec's files. Susie is drawn to the swamp where she meets the newly created Swamp Thing, and one of Avery's men stalks her.

A new disease spreads from the swamp, and Swamp Thing tells Abby that it's only the beginning. Daniel queries Xanadu about his mission, Jason sees a sample of Swamp Thing's cell structure and has questions, and Avery takes Susie into his house.
