Ch'p and Salakk fly towards Earth. Both have agreed to join with the other Green Lanterns in patrolling Sector 2814. Ch'p tells Salakk of his recent return to his home world H'lven. Ch'p was shocked to discover that his wife M'nn'e had married his best friend D'll. Salakk too longs for a change of venue.
