Synopsis:
Swamp Thing enters the body of Abby Cable. He takes over the processes of her body and allows her spirit to roam freely. Abby is able to soar in the sky above Gotham City and visit the spirit world. She meets the spirits of Alec and Linda Holland who give her a tour of the realms in the afterlife. During her travels she meets the elemental that is being groomed to take Swamp Thing's place. When she returns to her body the elemental follows her back to Earth.
Meanwhile, John Constantine breaks into Arkham Asylum. He gives one of Swamp Thing's tubers to the Floronic Man in an attempt to contact the Parliament of Trees. Before Constantine can retrieve information from Woodrue, security captures him. He meets with Dr. Robert Huntoon, a former associate, who now works at Arkham. During their meeting, Batman apprehends Killer Croc and delivers him to the Asylum for incarceration. In the confusion, Constantine escapes.
