Applejack, an ex-abused child with the power to instill fear in his victims, kills the two cops and enters Victoria's house. After a scuffle Victoria manages to knock him through a window where the Comet takes up the chase. After initially being influenced by Applejack's fear power, the Comet blasts him from a distance, knocking him out and enabling him to be captured. Comet blurts out he was an old high school teacher of his, thereby giving Lee a clue to his identity.
