>John returns to investigating. Searching the ranch, he finds the strange energy signature again. It leads him to Alan Scott’s depowered ring, discarded in a field, but the stolen lantern remains missing. John interrogates the Horminth Collective, which insists it had nothing to do with Alan Scott’s murder but refuses to reveal why it is on Earth.
>Because of Hal’s advice being ignored, the Collective escapes captivity and John fails to stop them. Sheriff Kerrie proposes he ask Hal for assistance due to the former Green Lantern’s experience, but John is too proud to accept help. Kerrie goes to find Hal on his behalf, stopping him at a bus station at the edge of town. They discuss what happened to his life, and Hal reveals little while implying that he’s made a lot of decisions that he regrets. He decides to reluctantly stay and help John, but only because Kerrie asked him to. They get flirty, but stop short of reigniting any old flame between them due to Kerrie’s current marriage and family.
>John, meanwhile, is angry with himself for screwing up twice. We get some insight on his motivation through flash cuts of the past – he’s a war veteran and a former marine with some obvious emotional trauma weighing on him. He hunts down and captures a part of the Horminth Collective and notifies the sheriff that he’s done so. Once again, however, he’s ambushed by Collective drones from amongst a crowd of onlookers. John is hesitant to use his ring since he can’t tell which of the bystanders are innocent and which are Horminth shapeshifters.
>Sheriff Kerrie and Hal arrive to help, and there’s an action scene that mirrors a real-life riot in the downtown area of Hope Springs. Hal meets up with John in the middle of the brawl and coaches the younger GL on how to recognize the Horminth. With Hal’s guidance, John drops the entire Collective with one punch to the creature’s “brain” (disguised as a small child). The riot ends.
