Synopsis for "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?"

In the Carrier, the Engineer and Swift are chasing a man, who is desperately trying get a Stormwatch emergency teleporter to work as he continues to run.

Aboard Skywatch III, a technician makes Christine Trelane aware of the signal coming from the emergency teleporter. Christine is surprised to see it's coming from the Carrier. Jackson King enters the room and tells Christine he has the situation under control. He takes Christine on a walk as he tells her that he lied about opening dialogue with the Authority, but instead he had several civilian agents - who answered solely to Jackson - to infiltrate the Carrier as refugees and sending back reports on the status and disposition of the Authority before Stormwatch would contact them. This is without Christine's knowledge because Jackson knew she would not approve it. Christine is left enraged in which she accuses Jackson of putting the whole station at risk because of his paranoia. To prevent their relations with the Authority from going out of hand, Christine brings Jackson and Alpha Team (which consists of Fuji, Hellstrike, and Winter) to meet the Authority in person.

Back on the Carrier, the Stormwatch agent is caught by Midnighter and Swift just as Angie found a Stormwatch fetish. Then Stormwatch is teleported in the Authority's presence. Although Angie expressed her frustration to Stormwatch's inaction as they spied on the Authority, Christine is willing to clear things up by offering Stormwatch to work with the Authority to alleviate some of the problems both teams are facing. Only a demoralized Jack Hawksmoor is unwilling to accept Stormwatch's help while Angie is willing to accept their offer for the sake of the people looked after by the Authority.

King privately talks with Hawksmoor, who believes the situation is hopeless. But King disagrees and offers Hawksmoor an opportunity to reactivate the Carrier, thus turning it into a city for people living inside the vessel. After selling his pitch to Hawksmoor, King tells him to think about what having a functioning city again would mean.

Deep within the Carrier, Link works to figure out how to re-energize the ship. Midnighter appears and tells Link it's not safe to wander around the Carrier alone. They are soon joined by Fuji, Hellstrike, and Winter who were sent to check on Link. Midnighter calls for a truce between the Authority and Stormwatch as they need each other now and bad blood can't serve them in this new world. Both sides agree and they begin work on reconfiguring one of the Carrier's spires to receive solar energy from Skywatch's reservoirs. After the Carrier is reactivated, the refugees from Skywatch are transferred to the Carrier along with the tech and supplies the Authority needs.

However, the Carrier's reactivation brought the attention of Eidolon and his Army of the Mad in which they launched a massive attack on the shift-ship. A raging battle ensues as Stormwatch and the Authority try to stop the army. Eidolon confronts Fuji and ruptures his containment suit. As Winters tends to a dying Fuji, Eidolon enters the Carrier.

Synopsis for "Get Christie Blaze - Part 4"

As Marc Slayton, John Lynch, and Christie Blaze hold on for dear life, the entity that is possessing Dominique Faust vanishes. Faust is unconscious but alive. The destroyed artifact that caused Faust's possession was not the Creation Wheel as it would have never been destroyed that easily. Christie thanks Slayton and Lynch for helping but asks them to leave quickly before Faust awakens. As the men leave, Lynch tells Slayton that he's decided to reach out to Team 7.

At a remote location somewhere in Canada, Lynch and Blaze meet up with Deathblow and Backlash. They are soon joined by Grifter, Stewart Chang and Alexander Fairchild. Grifter is leery about the meeting so he tells Lynch that whatever it is, it better be good. Lynch then explains to everyone that he wants each them to have a receiver planted in them that will serve as a better way to contact all the ex-members of Team 7 to work together again to face down world-ending threats. Grifter reluctantly accepts his receiver, stating that if Lynch ever use this "it better be friggin' Armageddon."

In the current day ruins of Charlottesville, Virginia, Lynch and Blaze stand and wait to see which Team 7 members will answer Lynch's call. He then asks Christie if she thinks they will be able to stop Tao from gaining control of the Creation Wheel. She replies that she believes that no one else can.
