Synopsis:
Robotman, Crazy Jane, and Rebis are transported to the unreal world of Orqwith. They find Joshua Clay, but he exists in a zombie state. They are pursued by an army of scissormen as they try to reach the Ossuary, a temple containing two priests.

Back on Earth, the Chief tracks down Reinmann, the last survivor of the three creators of the black book. He reveals that it is possible to destroy Orqwith by posing a question that forces it to confront its own unreality.

Robotman, Jane, and the negative form of Rebis then delay the scissormen, while the physical form of Rebis confronts the priests in the Ossuary. Rebis poses the question to the priests and successful unmakes the world of Orqwith. The team members, new and old, then agree to continue on as the new Doom Patrol.
