Nyx persuades Al that he should try to right the many sinister deeds he has been responsible for, and starts by going back to the alleys to save Major Forsburg. Triumphantly, Jason Wynn and his new "co-worker" return to the CIA offices. Jason goes right to work, and asks for all the files on Al Simmons. At police headquarters, Twitch discovers that the man who had no shadow was also the man who''s grave had been robbed, Al Simmons.

While Wanda lies close to death, Spawn returns to the eighth level of Hell for a final showdown with a weakened Malebolgia. At the height of the conflict, Angela arrives to join in the battle. After mortally wounding Malebolgia and thinking him dead, Spawn and Angela prepare to escape; however, with his last breath, Malebolgia extracts Angela''s lance and impales her with it. In a rage, Spawn decapitates Malebolgia with Angela''s sword. Carrying Angela''s lifeless body, Spawn delivers her to a host of angels who offer him forgiveness and redemption. He refuses this angelic pardon, but the angel who offers it can yet do one favor for Spawn: She appears in Wanda'' hospital room and breathes new life into Wanda. Meanwhile, Spawn finally comes to terms with his place in the world.

Ethan Crone, accused by his editor of being obsessed with Spawn, interviews people from all walks of life around the city who may have witnessed Spawn and his mysterious ways. When he actually tries to spend the night in the Rat City alleys, Cog tells him that there is no Spawn and there never was: he was simply a ghost story told around the bonfires in the alleys.

Spawn is led to a former church, now an archive of Hellspawn memorabilia. There, Cog tells Spawn of his own life as a Hellspawn, and how Spawn may break his curse. Meanwhile, detectives Burke and Twitch go looking for Spawn. After finding no sign of Spawn in the alleys, the two are confronted by a stranger. Also, Bobby is in despair, practically at rock bottom. After taking a bottle from a murdered drunk, he asks Heaven''s forgiveness.

Twitch is able to break free from his captor, the Freak, when he is distracted by Spawn''s sudden appearance. Then, as Sam, Twitch & Spawn struggle to stop the slaughter in the alley, they feel their curious bond intensifying. Spawn tracks down the Freak, where he is drowned by the worms and insects. Meanwhile, Wanda again witnesses Cyan''s psychotic behavior when she loses her soother and necklace out the car window.

A shaken Jason Wynn tells his security forces about a "terrorist threat" on his life and they reinforce the area. Meanwhile, Spawn''s face has healed itself. Although startled and confused by this new turn of events, Al forms plans to further intimidate Wynn to ensure Wanda''s safety and to win her back. Later, Cog counsels Spawn to get him to reconsider his decisions. Elsewhere in the city, Sam & Twitch are pondering how some of their previous cases seem to be tied together when they receive a hot tip and head to the alley.

Spawn freefalls through the levels of Hell where he he undergoes a physical and psychological baptism. Layers of Al Simmons'' life are peeled away and his weaknesses are exposed. Finally, Malebolgia rips Al''s heart out. Meanwhile, Terry''s doctors are still puzzled by his miraculous recovery while Cyan refuses to give up a filthy shoelace she found at the hospital. Elsewhere, Sam shows Twitch their new ''55 Chevy car.

When Angela helped Spawn escape Heaven, she lost her position as priority A-1 angel. Tiffany, a firecracker with a taste for blood, is determined to get the job; and her path to success leads straight through Spawn. Coming upon him in his weakened state, Tiffany confronts Spawn and a fierce battle ensues with Tiffany about to decapitate Spawn. Meanwhile, Sam and Twitch wonder why Banks took the fall when others were implicated in their investigation.
