Synopsis for "The Stars and Stripes"
Prof. Korovin and Pravda confront Blake, demanding to know about Senator Joe rather than Max, as he had "failed to live up to his expectations."
After cutting off from Blake, Max flies to Las Vegas. There the city is ravaged by the Russian dolls. This is seen across the country in which a white supremacist known as the Professor sees this as a chance to declare a race war by attacking an African-American church.
Korovin and Pravda, dragging along with Blake, easily fight their way through security and find Senator Joe's comatose body. Blake fruitlessly defends Joe from being destroy and is then banish to another dimension by Pravda. Senator Joe immediately wakes up and prepares to fight Pravda.
Max arrives at Las Vegas and battles the dolls, but is overpowered by both the Spirit of Lenin and Stalingrad. Meanwhile, the Senator easily beats through Pravda's forcefield.
Meanwhile, the black pastor reports the attack on his church to a police chief including a paper by the white supremacists exposing the "proven law of Social Darwinism". However, the officer tells that his forces can't help him as many of his officers quit to look after their families or fled on their own given the situation in Las Vegas. The pastor turns to another form of protection from two rivaling street gangs, and is prepared to face his attackers again.
Joe has beaten Pravda. Korovin reconsider Joe from hurting him as he knows something about him that could derail his faith in America.
