Synopsis: Doctor Druid calms Hercules and gets the demigod to snap out of his delirium. Zeus continues his assault on the Avengers but is stopped by Hercules. A penitent Zeus forgives the Avengers and forbids all of the Greek gods from setting foot on the Earth ever again (including Hercules). Back on Earth, Thor leaves to attempt to end the curse placed on him by Hela. Also, Marrina returns to Hydrobase and tells Namor that all his Atlantean followers abandoned him after he was taken by Neptune. Later, Captain Marvel decides the Avengers will try to find the missing Captain America.
