Synopsis for "Shining Light"

John is looking for clues about the Radiant Dead. He and Caolan must leave. He tells John about Henry and Natasha and thanks them for taking care of his mother. She has woken up, however, and is hallucinating. He goes to find her, she's totally delirious and mistakes him for his father. In despair, he creates a construct of his dead little sister, Ellie, to calm his mother. Caolan disapproves... They travel to the Amazon rainforest, where the tracks of the “Radiant Dead” guide them. All they find is death and the marks of the Darkstars. Then they are attacked by Lanterns who want Varron's ring back. Then Varron, or ... the Revenant Queen, attacks everyone with her “black” powers. Claiming that the Earth already belongs to her.
