"Testing...1...2...3!" The Avengers test the capabilities of the new heroine calling herself Captain Marvel, then offer her provisional membership. The Wasp continues to put up a brave front, determined to survive the turmoil of her divorce, and to succeed as team chairman, while at Ryker's Island Prison, a troubled Henry Pym recounts his history to a psychiatrist. The doctor pronounces him mentally fit to stand trial, but still, no one will credit his story of having been framed since Egghead is believed dead. Unknown to all, however, Hank's arch-foe is very much alive and plotting to ruin his day in court.
