Ulik
proclaims victory over Geirrodur, making him the new troll king and he
forecasts a successful conquest of the surface world with Thor’s aid. Thor,
however, says him nay, as their alliance lasted only so long as Jane Foster was
their hostage. Now she is free so Thor is leaving. Ulik challenges him to a
fight and the God of Thunder defeats him in a page and a half. Ulik’s hordes
return and Thor takes them down in less than a page. The captive Geirrodur
calls for his enchanted spear, explaining how Jane was able to seize him with
it. Thor tosses it into the river where it explodes, setting the cavern on
fire. Thor and Jane run away, him telling her not to look back as the troll
hordes flee, leaving the bound Geirrodur to the fires behind….
Hercules
and the police are standing around the hole in the street created by the
trolls. Herc and Lieutenant Blumkenn are surprised when Thor and Jane emerge
from the pit. Herc tosses debris into the hole and Thor seals it up with a
blast from Mjolnir. Herc is approached by a scholar asking him to come to UCLA
to lecture on Greek mythology; Herc has always wanted to visit the fabled
California so he agrees. Thor turns back into Dr. Don Blake and accompanies
Jane home….
In
California, grape picker Tomas Camaro is rallying his striking workers when the
big boss’ goons arrive, led by tough guy Connors. Orrin (amnesiac Odin) stops
them from ganging up on Tomas and steps back to watch the brawl continue on
fair terms. And then the ground shakes and a pyramid rises from the ground.
Odin is hypnotized by the sight….
Back
in New York, Jane realizes that Don is brooding over the news that his father
Odin is missing and tells him to go ahead and look for him. Don becomes Thor
and takes off. Then Jane, brooding over his leaving, turns on the TV and sees
the news about the pyramid in California and recognizes Odin. Odin, under the
pyramid’s spell, brushes off soldiers trying to keep him back; a door opens and
the Egyptian gods appear: Horus, Osiris, and Isis. Horus raises his staff and
repels the soldiers. Odin walks into the pyramid and the door closes behind
him….
And
Thor heads elsewhere in his search….
