Ghost Rider captures two criminals who murdered an elderly woman and deposits them in the mausoleum where he has kept Blackout, Stern, and dozens of other criminals captive.

At the cemetery, a man calling himself the Caretaker greets Johnny Blaze and Ghost Rider and tells them the police have surrounded the cemetery. Ghost Rider opens the mausoleum to find all of his captives dead, and, within the void, Dan's spirit experiences a vision given to him by Lilith of an assemblage of supernatural heroes. Blackout and Stern emerge from the crypt and Blackout bites Ghost Rider, causing to experience Lilith's vision as well. Blackout realizes Lilith is his mother and vows to find her.
