Synopsis for Green Lantern: "Safe at Home"
Hal Jordan is trapped inside a safe with yellow interior walls, rendering his ring useless. He starts to panic thanks to his recently restored fears. Hal uses his ring to scratch out the yellow paint, exposing enough grey metal to drill through it with a construct. Finally free from the safe, Hal blames Arisia for letting the Freak Show go away. When he turns around to try to apologize to her, she's gone.
Hal takes off and asks detective Rensaleer to help him find the runaway criminals.
Back in their lair, the Freak Show meets with their boss, the head of Hawkes Company, who tasks them with eliminating Green Lantern in their next mission.
