Several characters undergo unexplained name changes in this story. Lila McGrath is called Celia; her husband has named Don and is now called Bob; and Wally's father is called John instead of Rudolph.

Synopsis:
After Wally West has a psychic encounter with his dead father, he becomes a true believer is the McGrath cult. He then appears as a spokesman in television commercials advertising the retreat. Linda Park is still undercover and tries to convince Wally that McGrath is a fraud. When Wally talks to McGrath, she tries to seduce him. The seduction is interrupted by an attack by armed gunmen who suddenly vanish.

After the attack, McGrath meet with her husband and Wally's father who is working with them. Wally tells Linda about the attack. Suddenly, she is overcome by a spiritual possession of her own.
