Synopsis for "A Plague of Hatreds"
In West Hollywood, couples’ arguments escalate to violence as men and women are consumed with hatred. In Laurel Canyon, a bickering couple drive off a cliff, but they are saved by Maximage. In a chamber beneath Washington, D.C., an alien called Sith feeds on humanity’s hate. Having escaped the Keep during their invasion, he is using Psi-Fire as a telepathic conduit to stoke negative emotions. Back in Los Angeles, Maximage observes a mob burning down a lesbian-owned bookstore. Thanks to her mystic senses, she sees psychic waves of hate affecting the crowd and uses her powers to bring people to their senses. She then traces the emanations to D.C. and fights through more mobs to Sith’s chamber. Maximage blasts Sith, and he explains how he feeds on human emotion. Recognizing her power, he vanishes in a flash of energy. She tries and fails to wake up Psi-Fire, sensing only one word in his mind: “Youngblood.” She frees him and carries him off to find Youngblood.
