Kyle crash lands on Earth in a spaceship bearing a casket. Guy, John, and Hal attend a baseball game together, but Hal's presence affects the other fans. Black Hand tries to steal a Green Lantern ring from Oliver Queen, but is stopped by Ollie and the Spectre. Guy's body explodes in his Warriors bar just as Coast City is being rebuilt by means unknown. While the JLA and the JSA try to make sense of it all, Carol journeys to Ferris Aircraft for old time's sake and watches as the ramshackle company is knit back together piece by piece...and is greeted by Hal in his old flight jacket.
