| My thoughts on this series as a whole have not entirely been formed yet,
at least not so far as I would feel comfortable making them public. But anyway, I highly doubt
that you came here to read what it is that I may or may not have thought. | ||

Homebody Alpha Flight prepare for a relaxing night at home in their mansion on Tamarind Island, with the usual bickering and personal problems going on – Northstar doesn’t
approve of his sister Aurora being romantically involved with the paraplegic Bochs, while Snowbird has developed a death wish. Shaman has grown removed from
humanity, and Vindicator tries to keep her “family” together. However, someone else is roaming Mansion Alpha, its former owner Lillian von Loont, a.k.a. Gilded
Lily, who is shocked to learn that she is only a spirit after her previous encounter with two of Alpha Flight, and sets out to get herself a new body – namely Aurora’s.
Gilded Lily uses her alchemical powers to free her former lover, fellow alchemist Diablo, from prison, while she attacks Alpha Flight, as she is intertwined with the
mansion, in the process she kidnaps Aurora. Diablo and Gilded Lily are reunited, at first he wants nothing to do with her, but when he sees that she will get Aurora’s
body provided their potion works, he agrees. However, Alpha Flight track them to a secret cavern beneath the mansion and together with Aurora they thwart the
alchemists’ plan, in the process, Gilded Lily’s spirit is destroyed. Afterwards, Diablo is returned to prison and Alpha Flight are left alone in their home. | |||

them out when they discover they are about to be attacked by another village, in the end, they agree to help them. Heather remembers how to use her powers,
and the EM signal is picked up by Box and Sasquatch who after breaking into the Savage Land found the surviving scientist and continues to look for Heather.
