Synopsis for "Lo! The Eggs Shall Hatch!"

S.H.I.E.L.D. sends out a squad of 12 Fury LMDs in hope they can be used to track down who is trying to kill Fury. Dugan cannot understand why Fury wants to work with Sitwell, then badgers Sitwell until Fury compares both of them to Laurel and Hardy. Fury also wonders when Gabe will return from his vacation. The Druid's eggs have been destroying LMDs, but he decides to draw Fury out into the open, as once Fury is dead, his "cult" can spread across America. Fury questions the Fixer about the eggs and a miniature brain that was found on him. The Fixer seems sure that the eggs are not connected with "THEM," and also says that he was captured before "THEM" could give him his final orders. S.H.I.E.L.D. arrives at the site of an exploded egg, which turns out to be a trap. Fury takes on the Druid one-on-one, worried that his men will be targeted if he fails. Sitwell manages to drive a fleet of armored eggs out of hiding, and all Hell breaks loose. The Druid brags that his main HQ has not been found, and Sitwell offers to uncover the Druid's true identity. Fury finds himself wondering just how ambitious Sitwell is, and how he would feel if they tried replacing him with a younger man.

Synopsis for "To Catch a Magician!"

A new criminal named Mr. Rasputin, a descendant of Grigory Rasputin, has appeared on the criminal scene, using his mystical powers for his own personal gains. One night Doctor Strange detects an evil menace and, thinking it is his old foe, Baron Mordo, tracks it to the home of Mr. Rasputin. The two mystics then battle; however, Strange is still weak from his battle against Tazza and when Rasputin has him on the defensive, Rasputin then pulls out a gun and shoots Strange.

Escaping and seeking treatment in the hospital, Strange sends out his astral form to attack Rasputin, unaware that Rasputin had hired a gunman to kill Strange in the hospital. Battling Rasputin, the villain tries to banish Strange to another dimension; however, using his mental control over the Cloak of Levitation and the Eye of Agamotto, Strange is able to knock his foe unconscious and bring him back to the hospital. There, Strange arrives just in time to stop the gunman as well. He then hypnotizes them into confessing their crimes and erases all of Rasputin's mystical knowledge.
