    In Georgia, T'Challa uncovers the killer of Angela Lynne and Windeagle, Leroy Ames, and regains his memory of being partially brainwashed by the Dragon Circle into forgetting his prior battles with them. He later defeats the supernatural Soul Strangler and helps indict the local leader of the Klan, Ambrose Ellis, and leader of the Dragon Circle, Rev. Addison Blackburn.
