AArcane drinks Alec's formula, hoping that it will enhance his 'genius' as well as make him strong like it did for Alec when he turned into the Swamp Thing, but instead it turns him into a hairy monster. Meanwhile, Alec has been able to free himself from the chains and break Alice free. With the help of Little Bruno (Tommy Madden), they jump into to a well that is fed by a spring from the swamp, swimming to their freedom. Unfortunately, the Arcane monster (Ben Bates) follows and tries to kill Swamp Thing with a sword. Alec defends himself, but Arcane manages to stab Alice in the boob. While Alec finishes off Arcane by using a tree root as a club, Alice bleeds to death. With Arcane out of commission, Alec kneels beside Alice. He places a piece of moss over her wound and heals her with his powers. She comes to just in time to warn him that Arcane is sneaking up behind him. Alec turns on Arcane and stabs him with his own sword. Alec then carries Alice to drier ground and begins to walk back into the swamp. Alice begs him to stay, even offering to help him set up his lab again, but he refuses, telling her to take time to heal and assuring her that he'll see her again and that he'll always be with her. Jude (Reggie Batts) then comes running over, and he and Alice watch Swamp Thing as he continues to walk deeper into the swamp.
