Synopsis Strange returns to our plane, in NYC, takes a room in a cheap motel and then uses his ectoplasmic form to check up on The Ancient One in Tibet. He then goes to his master's home to look thru the library, but forgets to drop the spell of visibility that allowed the hermit to see him and therefore Mordo's spirits are after him again! To distract Dormammu (who's feeding Mordo endless power), Clea uses a device that weakens the barrier holding back The Mindless Ones, and they attack, causing Dormammu to leave Mordo as he battles them. Strange flies into space and straight into the sun, the spirits fleeing and Mordo worried that it might spell his doom. Strange returns to The Ancient One, who in his weakened, delirious condition, speaks of "Eternity." Dormammu secures his domain, but wonders if someone has betrayed him. Clea fears she may be found out. Strange begins to search for "Eternity."
