Synopsis:
Mr. Miracle returns home and finds Darkseid waiting for him. The ruler of Apokolips gives Scott a videotape made in Suicide Slum that shows his wife performing lude acts. Mr. Miracle goes after her and is attacked by Sleez's minions. He escapes and finds Barda and Superman performing for an adult film. Scott's arrival snaps them out of the trance placed upon them by Sleez. While Barda handles an ash-crawler, Superman pursues Sleez into the sewers where the villain appears to kill himself in a gas main explosion.
