The Quadrant members (Steven Mandragora, Gambol, and Warren White) refuse feeling that Dragon is unworthy unless he proves otherwise.

Julia lets King visit Marcus. Grogan survives Dragon's attack by sheer luck, as his windpipe remained undamaged long enough for him to be moved to life support. Although his neck was permanently twisted, thanks to a breakthrough medical technique, sophisticated micro-surgery was able to reattach his nerve endings so that he could move again. With control of his body restored but informed that it would be impossible to turn his head back the right way around, Grogan spent some time retraining himself to move normally, "seeing through the back of his head" with the use of glasses with a built-in array of mirrors.
