Synopsis for "And Yet It Lives"
Swamp Thing battles with the Golem on the snowy cliffs of Mount Untersberg and manages to deactivate it by erasing one of the Hebrew letters inscribed on it's forehead. Karen Clancy then telepathically sends Kripptman and his team a message challenging them to confront her at a Synagogue where Kripptman once worshipped. They then put Karen Clancy's locket on the Golem and re-activate it, so that it tracks her down.
Meanwhile in Munich, Walter "Grasp" Ellenbeck forces his way into the hotel room where Dennis Barclay and Liz Tremayne are staying and tries to get them to give up Harry Kay's (Dr. Helmut Kripptman) whereabouts. Dennis and Liz find a perfect moment to attack Grasp and leave him unconscious in their room while they go to meet Kripptman. It turns out, however that this was Grasp's plan all along and he has a colleague waiting to watch where they go, ready to follow them.
Swamp Thing and the others reach the Synagogue and with the combined strength of the Golem and the psychics they kill Karen. Karl, Alan and Milton also perish in the battle. It turns out that Karen was merely the physical vessel for the evil entity that is the harbinger of the Great Beast and it leaves her body. After briefly possessing Liz, it attempts to take control of the Swamp Thing. Swamp Thing's tremendous willpower casts the entity out. While all this is happening Grasp is trying to shoot them from a distance with a sniper rifle.
In a moment of searing light, the evil entity transports Swamp Thing, Liz, Dennis, Kripptmann, Grasp and the Golem to a huge metal fortress where they will meet Satan himself.
