PREVIOUSLY IN SPAWN:
An overzealous Sanchez reveals too much to Nortego’s gang, getting himself in much worse trouble than ever expected.

In the quest for information on his identity, Jim learns to harness his newfound power to work to his advantage.

Across town, Clown and Claudio make an escape from the prison under Sam and Twitch’s watch. In the meantime, Detectives Craig and Linda make a unique discovery regarding the murder weapon used in the case of Bill Winton’s suicide.

Marc slowly begins piecing the cases involving the miracle patients together. To his surprise, he’s not the only one who’s interested in these strange occurrences.

After receiving crucial information from the man at the bar, Jim tracks down Benny, to finish the conversation they started outside Sara’s apartment. Before he’s able to get answers, the house explodes, leaving our new hero in jeopardy.

刑事のCraig Rowardはタクシーに乗ってNYPDに訪れる。苛立っていたCraigは上司にも食ってかかった。Craigは、ドーナツを食べながらその光景を冷ややかに見ていたSamにも突っかかってきた。そこにTwitchが割って入った。

一方、Marc Rosenは風邪を患いながらも仕事に出かける。Susanは引き止めるが、Marcは仕事を優先する。

MarcはSaraとJudyの話を聞きに来ていた。そこにやつれたJim Dowingが帰宅する。Saraが心配するが、Jimはソファで寝込んでいた。

MarcはJudyをマンションの玄関まで送るが、その後、Judyは組織の者に誘拐された。それを察したJimはSpawnへと変身し、Judyの救出に向かう。
