The Beyonder arrives at the cabin inhabited by Rick, Brandy and Cindy. He fulfills the dreams of the trio to see if it will make them feel complete. Rick is cured of his cancer, Brandy becomes Starshine again and Cindy has her mind cleansed of Dire Wraiths. Learning that fulfillment of desire leads to even greater desire, the Beyonder gives Rick powers and sends he and Starshine into Limbo to retrieve Cindy's parents. Rick asks for his powers to be taken away but is cured of his cancer. Brandy also asks for the power of Starshine to be taken away but asks to be sent into space to be with Rom.
