Synopsis

Reed and Johnny meet in a coffee shop to discuss the Civil War. Reed brings the Thinker to the Baxter Building to check his math in calculating the necessity and social outcome of superhuman registration. The Thinker confirms his conclusions but notes that Reed has had to do some truly evil things to prove his theorem. Torch catches up with Ben in Paris and invites him to come back home.
