Jack makes plans to keep his appointment.Elsewhere, Ben has been captured and lashed to a machine that prevents him from escaping- any strength he exerts to break free is funneled into the imprisoned Yancy Streeters, hurting and potentially killing them. Machinesmith places a mind control cap on Ben's head, and runs a few tests to ensure that it works. It does, and he reveals that the Corporation plans to use Ben first to kill a 'thorn in their side' and then to kill the rest of the FF, so that Machinesmith can steal Mr. Fantastic's work. That night, out on a pier, the 'thorn', Jack of Hearts, is battling the robots from last issue, when Ben charges to the rescue, only to surprise Jack with a sneak-attack wallop. The fight is on...
