Synopsis:
Swamp Thing and Abby are reunited. While getting reacquainted with her, Swamp Thing considers his ability to help the world. He knows that he could solve the famine problem on Earth as he did on Rann. However, he realizes that mankind would just escalate their activities that were destroying the Earth. Instead, he decides to watch the world without intervening.

He then constructs a new home for himself and Abby in the swamp. Chester and Liz bid Abby farewell. Chester offers to take care of Liz and plans to move in with her. Swamp Thing and Abby then begin their new life together.
