Synopsis:
Power Girl enters a portal to Darkworld to confront the Weaver. She encounters an imp named Ghy who guides her through the world of magic. After confronting many of her personal demons, Kara finally meets the Weaver face-to-face. Also fighting on the Weaver's side is Khatar, Kara's brother. Although Power Girl is vulnerable to the magical and mental attacks, she is finally able to reach a level of acceptance with magic. This allows her to prevail. Before his inevitable defeat, the Weaver sends Power Girl back to Earth. His power diminished and spent, the villain is for the time being, defeated.
Back on Earth, Karen Starr discovers that the Phantom Stranger was able to intervene to repair issues in her personal life while she was away. The board of directors have voted in her favor, and the problems of her friends have been rectified. Kara then promises the Stranger that she will tell the other heroes about the growing conflict between Order and Chaos.
