In New York City, Azmodus manipulates the tensions between an orthodox Jewish sect and an African-American community. When Rabbi Jacob Schulman is acquitted of vehicular manslaughter, the dead boy’s father, Randolph Reynolds, incites a riot. The Spectre intervenes, but does not punish Rabbi Jacob for his actions. He ends Azmodus' role in the affair after violence erupts. As he leaves, the Spectre makes Rabbi Jacob and Reynolds feel each other's grief. Concerned about what happened in Vlatava, President Clinton asks Professor Hazzard to find a way of either controlling or killing the Spectre.
