Billy checks the circus to see if the alligators in the Monster Society are connected to the alligator men he met. Meanwhile, Dr. Sivana vows to get to the bottom of the mysterious footprints. At the circus, Billy saves his sister from the alligator men with the help of his new friend Talky Tawny, just as a giant humanoid appears at the site of the footprints. It announces itself as Mr. Mind and declares that when two companions join him, they will destroy the human race. When the first companion appears, Billy changes to Captain Marvel, but Mary is also hit by the lightning and given powers.
