Synopsis
Beast is on vacation from the Defenders and heads to Hollywood to hang out with Wonder Man. Dazzler, whose career was ruined, is attending a party when she is approached by Alexander Flynn who wants her to perform at an experimental underground theater. Tired of being out of the limelight, she agrees and signs a contract with Hugo Longride. Hank and Simon run into Dazzler at another party and are disgusted by the sleazy new company she is keeping. Dazzler's powers begin to erupt out of control and she abruptly disappears. Beast tracks her down and promises to take care of her.
