It is the funeral of Booster Gold and almost no one has shown up. Clark Kent converses with Skeets, who tells him that Booster was no longer popular in Metropolis and so had to have his funeral in Cincinnati. The only people attending are third-rate heroes hoping for media coverage. Skeets suddenly discovers a person walking down the street who he believes is related to Booster.

Week 18, Day 7.
Giza, Egypt.
The Shadowpact comes together with Dibny, Chimp, Ragman, Nightmaster, Blue Devil,, Nightshade and Enchantress. Enchantress uses her powers of scrying to try to find clues within the helmet. As she does so, the helmet begins to communicate with Ralph, showing him images of a tenth age of magic. It tells him that Tim died because he did not do the rites and rituals that he had to before taking on the helmet. The helmet tells Dibny that it has the answers he seeks if he is ready to sacrifice everything and begin a magical journey.
Dibny accepts and grabs the helmet, getting into his car and driving off. It is revealed that the rest of the Shadowpact did not witness the helmet speaking to Dibny, and they wonder what came over him.
