Shortly after Ben and Alicia arrive on site, the facility is suddenly attacked by Darkoth. Darkoth warns Ben not to launch the solar shuttle as it has been sabotaged, but is forced to attack when both military personnel and the Thing attack him. Darkoth manages to slip away thanks to his new ability to become intangible. With security increased, Ben returns to his room to puzzle over why Darkoth had attacked when they were allies last they met. Suddenly Ben gets a phone call from a man claiming to be his old friend Desmond Pitt, who also warns Ben that the solar shuttle has been sabotaged. Angered at the idea of someone pretending to be his dead friend, Ben angrily slams the phone down. Meanwhile, Sue, Franklin and Agatha Harkness are at Imperial Studios for Sue's new acting gig in Hollywood. There they are shown around the various studios. There they witness a take on a new movie about Henry VIII, but the shoot is interrupted by the appearance of the Impossible Man, who has come to Hollywood to be part of the movies as well, much to the frustration of the director on site. Reunited with the often irritating ally of the Fantastic Four, Sue informs the alien that the Fantastic Four have broken up.
