Absent Friends! Laurie Juspeczyk visits the Nepenthe Gardens retirement home to see her mother, Sally, the original Silk Spectre. She only comes because she's been forced to visit, being transported by Jon prior to attending the funeral of Eddie Blake. Sally shows a large sense of sympathy for Blake.
During her conversation with Laurie, Sally remembers the night that the Minutemen were taking their group photo in 1940. The group discussed the war in Europe, until the original Nite Owl stops the discussion and they all head down to the Owl's Nest with exception of Sally, who stays behind to change. The Comedian, seeing her, steps into the room attempting to sexually assault her, in which Sally quickly claws his face in defense. After this, Blake brutally attacks her, intending to rape her ruthlessly, before Hooded Justice walks in to see the crime unfolding. An enraged Blake viciously attacks Eddie, but finally lets him go when Eddie says to him "This is what you like, huh? This is what gets you hot...?"
Later, during the Funeral the members attending each take turns remembering stories regarding Eddie.
