Synopsis:
WHEN OPENS THE COCOON! After examining the footage of Alicia's abduction, Mister Fantastic begins working on replicating the device that allowed her abductor to pass through a solid wall to wherever he came from. After getting components from Tony Stark, Reed is finally ready to complete the process that will eventually help them find out where Alicia was taken.
Meanwhile, deep within Lock 41 of the Beehive, Alicia Masters and Hamilton continue down the tunnel to find the artificially created man known as Him. The scientists' creation fights back with blasts and beams of energy that keep Hamilton back, but Alicia presses along on her own despite his protests. When Hamilton tries to go after her, he is caught up in strange tendrils that come out of the walls. While outside in the main lab, the other scientists monitor the progress. With fears that Him may be impossible to control, Shinski shows them their final fail safe, a device that will create an ultrasonic wave that will send Him into the deepest reaches of space where the artificial man will be no threat to them.
Back at the Baxter Building, Sue, Johnny, Ben and Crystal all sit down for breakfast while they wait for Reed to emerge from his lab. After two days of work, Reed believes that the device used to kidnap Alicia has been correctly duplicated. Holding Ben and Johnny's hands, Reed surprises everyone when the trio suddenly pass through a solid wall and end up at the Beehive complex where Alicia is being kept. There they are attacked by the guards, and respond in kind.
Deep within Lock 41, Hamilton is leading Alicia to safety when Him emerges from his cocoon — the perfect, golden-skinned being reborn. He condemns his creators for their evil intentions. As the Fantastic Four escape with Alicia, the Beehive explodes, seemingly destroying the Enclave and marking the birth of one of Marvel’s most powerful cosmic figures.
