Synopsis:
Robotman, Crazy Jane, and Rebis enter a portal leading to the house in another dimension in pursuit of Rhea Jones. The house is inhabited by Red Jack, a man who claims to be god. He claims that a portal to Earth opens every 100 years. The last time he went to Earth he was Jack the Ripper. Now, he has abducted Rhea to be his wife.

Jack proves too powerful for Robotman, who has his arm ripped off. When Rebis tries to confront Jack, he is impaled on crystal spikes. However, while Jack is distracted, Jane releases the butterflys in Jack's collection. Rhea also awakens from her coma and stabs Jack in the back. With Jack dead, the three Doom Patrol members look for a way home. Robotman carries Rhea who has fallen into unconsciousness once more.
