After making sure Tom is okay and Bruce is back to normal Hal flies off to find Carol. The trail leads to Lucifer Island, where he finds a sort of shrine to the downfall of all Ferris's.
Meanwhile back in LA, Eclipso has put a post-hypnotic suggestion in Bruce's mind and forces him to look at film of an eclipse. Then back in control Eclipso reveals that he has been working on his own weapon at Ferris Air. He calls it the Moon of Murder, a rocket that once in orbit turns into a moon size sphere that blocks the sun permanently. Hal sees the rocket and tries to confront Eclipso but the villain uses his black diamond to force Hal's good side to fight his evil side. But who will win?
