Summary

  Sam breaks his uncle Luke out of an Arkansas penitentiary, to get the rest of the story. Ten years ago, he was stealing a truck full of cigarettes when his partner got shot and turned out to be a Deviant form. Luke opened the back and instead of cigarettes, he found a Celestial Golem. He called the buyer, and got his brother Tyler to help him. Sam, then a boy, snuck along.

  They met the buyers, Finn and Weller, deliver the goods, and were about to leave, but Sam found a lab full of captive children. The Deviants want to use the Golem to alter their DNA and make them adaptable, like humans. The experiment goes awry and the Golem attacks while the Guthries flee. Sledge arrives and uses an force-field exo-skeleton to defeat the Golem; it explodes. Tyler makes his brother help him bury Finn and Weller (see last iss.), and Sledge erases the children's memories.

  Sam gets Domino to help return Luke to jail. Indigo, Chandra, and Joshua set up operations in the Amazon – they have the remains of Reignfire.

  Meltdown and Bedlam chat and are observed by Wu (see iss. 99). Dani does tai chi with Kale and she sees the Demon Bear. Selene has Holiday captive; she makes him tell Sunspot he doesn't work for SHIELD but for Damocles.
