Captain Britain has been devolved into a monkey and the Avant Guard leaves him behind as they take Jackdaw back to Saturnyne. She tells the elf that this reality is the most primitive of all of the alternate earths but she is about to use a mysterious liquid to give it a push in the right direction. Back in the junkyard pipe, Cap touches some of the liquid and returns to human form. As he is confronting Saturnyne, they are attacked by the Status Crew sent by the British home secretary.
