Synopsis for Green Lantern: "Golgotha"
After faking her own death, Star Sapphire comes out of her grave. She finds an unidentified alien in the graveyard, who takes control of her sapphire gemstone and zaps her with a bolt of energy, leaving her unconscious. Hal Jordan wakes up in Golgotha, a barren planetoid that exists outside of the time continuum. He's chained to the south magnetic pole, acting as a human lightning rod. Hal's ring comes back to him, but he's too weak to use it. After some failed attempts and many near-lethal lightning bolts hitting him, Hal creates an umbrella to deflect the lightning and he channels his willpower from the ring to his limbs, breaking the chains.
Now free, Hal's ring leads him to the cemetery, where he finds Star Sapphire. Something strikes Hal, leaving him in some kind of briefly suspended animation, and by the time he regains consciousness, Star Sapphire is gone.

Synopsis for Deadman: "Deadman Goes to Hell"
Grace Kasaba, having captured Deadman brings him back to her CIA superiors in Virginia. They keep him under glass with the intent of studying his spectral form. Kasaba believes that Deadman is actually a representative of an alien culture that visited Earth some 500-700 years ago. The agents leave Deadman's containment tube in the care of an inept guard. The guard accidentally knocks the tube over and Deadman escapes. He quickly possesses the guard just as the agency director, Stan, comes back into the room. Stan shows the guard an urn which he believes may also contain a spectral entity similar to Deadman. After Stan leaves, the Deadman-possessed guard opens the urn, releasing a power demonic entity.

Synopsis for Wild Dog: "Sleeping Dogs Lie..."
Two members of the Legion Of Morality were standing over Wild Dog's body. Suddenly, Wild Dog sprung up and shot up both terrorists, killing them. Next, he found the truck driver who woke up after being knocked unconscious. He was terrified upon seeing the dead bodies. Next, the truck driver got into his truck to report the incident to the police, then went to the hospital, where Andy questioned him.
Later, Andy and a fellow police officer went to the crime scene with the truck driver, where they suspected that Wild Dog could have killed the terrorists. The bodies were missing but the blood and bullets were still present. Next, Andy went to Jack's shop to confront him about killing the men. Andy was reprimanding him about killing the men, but then, they deduced that the Legion took the bodies away from the scene so that the authorities could not identify them.
Later, Andy went to visit Graham while Jack met up with Layman again. Layman claimed that he was aware of Jack's history in the United States Marine Corps and asked him to take part in an upcoming assault.
