Well, I kind of sort of... broke Myrra. And this place isn't what it used to be. I'm just going to put it out there. I think we should run.

Synopsis for "The Shadow Pact, Part One"

After defeating Hecate, the Otherkind and the Upside-Down Man are closer then ever from breaking into the Multiverse and Earth itself. While John Constantine and Swamp Thing stay on the front-line to approach their enemy, Zatanna, Diana and Kirk want to move inside Myrra, as Constantine believes there's a power in that dimension that might be useful against the Otherkind. The thing is, Detective Chimp, the current Nightmaster, does not want anyone to go to Myrra, not himself and not his allies.

Still, Zatanna knows how to take possession of a bounded object, and so uses the Sword of the Nightmaster herself to cut a portal into that dimension. Bobo has to follow them through and soon the team finds out why he did not want to go there: he made a mistake, and now Myrra is a corrupted place ruled by undead soldiers. And it seems an old friend of Bobo, the Blue Devil, takes part on this as well.

Meanwhile on Earth, John and Alec do not have anything to live for anymore: the Parliament of Trees has been substituted by another force and Swamp Thing does not feel bounded to Earth or either life anymore, and John Constantine, now without demon blood in his veins, is dying from lung cancer. They seek to finally give Nabu a lesson, but it seems that the Lord of Order mistook their real intention, which was to attract the attention of the Phantom Stranger.
