Synopsis for "Blue Skies"

Dagger is thrown out of an airplane by Night and plummets to earth. However, she was saved by Cloak Next, Cloak teleported her along with himself to a hospital plane at an airport and encountered Mister Jip and Night, who posed as a nurse, again. Then, Night threw Dagger off of the plane, prompting Cloak to jump out and follow her in an attempt to save her. In order to calm herself down, she decided to think of her home in Cleveland. In a vision, Melissa Bowen and Phillip Carlisle were arguing about the former leaving the latter and Tandy behind to go to Spain for an acting job. Their conversation ended when Melissa got into the taxi and went off. Meanwhile, Dagger noticed that Cloak was not around, resulting in her anxiety growing. Suddenly, Cloak appeared on the ground, ready to catch Dagger, who was about to fall in the exact spot where he stood.

Meanwhile, somewhere else in New York City, Kingpin was planning on killing Cloak and Dagger. Eventually, Cloak was able to save Dagger after repeated attempts. Somewhere in the streets, the Punisher was holding a drug dealer at gunpoint for selling drugs to schoolchildren, demanding the location of the drug deals, which he learned were being sold near Cloak and Dagger's church. Afterwards, Frank informed the drug dealer that he would tie him up and leave him on the 21st Precinct while he searched for Cloak and Dagger. Meanwhile, a man in a corner informed somebody over his communicator that Frank would be coming. The Power Pack, who overheard Castle's conversation, decided to split up; Jack and Alex would lead the Punisher away from the ambush, while Julie and Katie would warn Cloak and Dagger.

Meanwhile, Dagger was falling from the sky once again. Cloak decided to teleport Dagger and himself to the Atlantic Ocean, which the latter was skeptical of at first. The two fell into the ocean, where Cloak saved Dagger.
