Synopsis: - On a shopping trip, Jesse and Argent run into Mantis and his insect army, and are overwhelmed. Help soon arrives in the form of the Favored and then the Titans who force Mantis to leave via Boom Tube. The Favored return to Apex headquarters, where Donovan tells them that they will now have their chance to make a difference. The Titans then interview members of Axis to find out who hired them to investigate Apex; Scorcher tells them it was one Roland Lier. The Titans catch up with him, but they get little information from him other than that the government are concerned about the Favored before he bites a cyanide capsule and dies. His contact, Thrust, encounters Jesse and Troia, but they are unable to prevent him reaching the Apex building. Strangely, though, it is utterly deserted. Jesse subdues Thrust but suspects Nightwing will not like this development. And the D.E.O. kids have been having counselling from Lilith (Omen); when Nikki goes in for counselling something rather odd happens.
