Phil literally explodes all over Niseman and Dragon arrives at the hospital a few minutes too late to witness the birth of his son. Kill-Cat is hospitalized, while Dragon learns the truth about Rapture and Peter Klaptin (who is meanwhile being held captive by a shadowy figure). Dragon then prepares to propose to Rapture, only to discover that his son is dead. In reality, the newborn has been captured by The Covenant of the Sword and was replaced with an artificial "dead" fetus.
