Rip Hunter and his crew discover that Corky Baxter has hung himself. Antonia decides to leave the group. Rip decides to go back to ancient Atlantis in hopes of stopping Vandal Savage. He asks Green Lantern for help to power the time sphere. Bonnie stays behind.

Rip and the team arrive in 45,000 B.C. and meet Arion. The Lord of Atlantis explains that Vandal Savage has allied himself with Garn Daanuth. He provides Rip with knowledge, but counsels him not to use violence. Rip ignores the counsel and takes the time sphere back in time even further.
