Thelma contacts John as Bob is closer to death. The Comet reveals more of his origins and Bob confesses that he abused Steve in order to make him stronger. Steve learns that Timmy was beaten by his mother and not a street gang. Steve hurries to stop any more abuse, but is arrested after he batters her door down. Wanting to show how much he really loves his son, Bob once again dons the Hangman's costume, but is too weak to be of help. John brings him back to the hospital, and wears the Hangman costume in order to help Steve and get Mrs. Carpenter to confess her abuse. Bob Dickering passes away.
