Blackest Night

A spaceship flies out of the sun and crashes on Earth near an abandoned military base. Two hitchhikers are nearby, and they find Kyle Rayner. He is unwilling to use his ring and passes out, only saying "It has a name".

At Ferris Aircraft, Carol Ferris is talking to her husband Gil on the phone. The property is still for sale, and Carol has been visiting it a lot lately. Suddenly, Carol becomes surprised when she sees one of the planes, and she ends the conversation with her husband. The plane is one that used to be flown by Hal Jordan.

In New York, John Stewart and Guy Gardner go to a baseball game, intending to meet with Hal Jordan. Guy doubts he'll show, saying that he's technically dead, but Hal does show. Hal tries to enjoy himself, but suddenly, people around him begin confessing their sins (even Guy admits to lying on his taxes). Hal realizes that he can never rest, and leaves. After the game, John and Guy enjoy a drink at Warriors, talking about Jordan. John still defends him, and while Guy says that Hal did a lot of terrible things, he admits that if anything had happened to Guy, Hal would have been there. Suddenly, Guy begins to lose control of his powers and shoots John, causing the bar to explode.

In Star City, Green Arrow and Speedy are preparing to go on patrol when Black Hand blasts his way into Arrow's home and enters his training room. Black Hand opens a small box containing what he was looking for: a Green Lantern ring. Arrow shots Black Hand in the hand. Hal Jordan appears and transforms into the Spectre. He causes Black Hand's hand to turn to coal and shatter. As he fades away, Hal tells Arrow that something feels wrong. Arrow picks up the ring, saying Hal gave it to him in the event of an emergency. He believes this situation qualifies.

Elsewhere, a plane flies over the remains of Coast City, seeing that the city's roads have been rebuilt, along with one building. Meanwhile, at Belle Reeve, Hector Hammond has just reduced one of his prion guards to madness and is aware that Kyle Rayner has brought something back from his trip in space.

On the JLA Watchtower, Doctor Mid-Nite and the Martian Manhunter discover that Guy's organs are rejecting themselves. Wonder Woman, helping the Justice Society, finds that a single statue of Hal Jordan is all that survived. This causes Alan Scott to worry that Hal will be unfairly blamed. Flash and Aquaman are investigating the Coast City reports and discover that the building is Hal Jordan's old apartment building. This is more than enough evidence for Batman, who believes that Jordan's reform was all part of a bigger plan to acquire more power. John lashes out at Batman verbally, saying that Batman's disrespect of Hal was not because of anything he did, but because Hal was the "man without fear," which means Batman has no power over him. As Superman tries to calm John down, Green Arrow arrives and explains what happened at his place. This news only reinforces Batman's suspicion.

At Ferris Aircraft, it has started to rain, and Carol is lost in thought by Jordan's old plane. Suddenly, the plane snaps into perfect working condition, along with the other planes and the buildings. As Carol looks around, she sees Hal Jordan.
