Synopsis:
Swamp Thing takes possession of John Constantine's body. He takes John from England back to the swamp in Louisiana. While waiting for the Swamp Thing to arrive, Abby visits Chester only to find him in an intimate moment with Liz. Abby then visits her comatose husband Matt in the hospital. His wedding ring slips off, which Abby takes as a signal that Matt would approve of her relationship with Alec.

Abby returns to her home in the swamp. Then Swamp Thing arrives in John's body. Despite some initial misgivings Abby and Swamp Thing consummate their relationship. Abby becomes pregnant, and the unborn child is bonded to the Sprout.
