*** Beware – spoilers may be found below ***

The town sheriff has his hands full this issue — there’s the new beautiful woman in town, who just may be an alien.  Then there’s two guys who just arrived and we’re pretty sure they’re CIA.  Tito (who was cheating with the fisherman) is now coming on to the young scientist.  Her husband Nicholas is more upset over that than Tito’s cheating with Anton so he enlists Anton’s aid to kill the scientist.  The children blinded by the orb last issue can remarkably see again, and for some reason (that we know) the scientist ends high up in a tree unconscious and in the nude.

The plot thickens as orbs secretly appear, people disappear and a murder attempt is set in motion.
