Synopsis for "The Future: Finale - The Stars My Destination"

Having returned from China a hero, Tony borrows an old armor from the Avengers Tower archive. He attempts to resume his old hero activities, but S.H.I.E.L.D. soon brings him in. He fills Maria Hill in on events, and how he believes he was compromised - and how much. Quickly becoming frustrated with Hill's questions, he flies home, isolating himself in his workshop from the outside. Pepper and Rhodey attempt to call him. Tony has taken both their suits and is scrapping them for parts.

Later, after again fighting in the old armor, Tony feels that everything is stuck in the past, including himself, and he realizes he may be depressed. Still investigating loose ends around Zeke Stane, he thinks Zeke and Sasha mean to kill Justine Hammer - and Beth had carelessly let Zeke use her phone to call Sasha. He questions Beth about this, but they both get aggressive. He calls Justine to warn her, but she wont take advice from him. Zeke and Sasha are waiting for her in her car, creating a blast of energy which killed her.

Pepper lets herself into Tony's apartment, and finds him naked in the bathroom. She leaves after he threatens her with dinner - as it turns out, Monique was hiding in the bathtub, holding her breath. The next morning, Tony has called a senior staff meeting on the roof. Showing up in what appears to be the Extremis armour outfitted with a booster module, he has bought flowers for everyone and apologizes for being so distant. Having decided to go on a vacation, he says good-bye for now, and promises to do better next time. He tells Pepper that he will miss her, but tells her not to worry about him anymore. He then takes off for the stars.

Let me tell you about my dreams.
