Vic Sage is unable to prevent the kidnapping of Jackie Connelly. Jeremiah Hatch plans to use her as a sacrifice in his plans to destroy the world. The Question then assaults the mayor's mansion where Jackie and her mother are held. After disposing of Hatch's henchmen Jake and Donny, the Question confronts Hatch and rescues Jackie. He is unwilling to kill Hatch when he has the chance, but Myra has no such inhibitions as she rams a knife through his chest. The Question then escapes the mansion with the women before it burns down.
