- Synopsis
- Elizabeth arrives to find Alpha Flight knocked out and the Dreamqueen already loose on earth. She decides to seek out her father, Shaman, and get back the circlet that gives her the power of Talisman. As Shaman is giving the headpiece back to Elizabeth, Sasquatch, who has been infected by the Dreamqueen, snatches the circlet and puts it on herself. As Alpha Flight battles Wanda, Snowbird shows up and breaks the Dreamqueen's spell by changing Wanda back into Walter. Alpha Flight prepares to confront the Dreamqueen who is already infecting the whole city of Edmonton with madness.
