This issue is double-sized. In her mind, Dorothy refuses to let the Candlemaker out. In reality, she finds Josh's body, and decides to release the Candlemaker, who promises to bring Josh back to life. Cliff finally clues in and tries to attack the Chief, who stops him with some sort of electronic failsafe mechanism.
Cliff is frozen in mid-dash, able to see and hear as usual, but paralyzed.
The Candlemaker revives Josh and then immediately kills him. Dorothy has been swindled. The Chief has created life. This, it seems, has been his overwhelming obsession all his life. He has built an artificial man, which looks like a muscular white mannikin.
