Heaven's bounty hunters appear outside the sanctuary. Spawn learns that if he does not reclaim his humanity, Wanda is in danger because when Spawn made love to her, he made her a pawn in the game, a weapon in the war. Spawn is confused. Cog is enraged.

It is the prophecy. Hellspawn would plant his seed in a human woman. A child would be born. That child would decide the outcome of armageddon. The final battle between Heaven and Hell!

Malebolgia has tricked Spawn again. It was never about him. It was always about the prophecy, and the child Spawn would bring into the world.

Downtown Officers Sam and Twitch are dealing with their own double-cross. Somebody shot Twitch in the head. At first they thought Spawn was the assailant. Now they know it was an inside job. Chief Banks tries to throw up a smoke screen by telling Sam that an investigation is underway that may expose a cop on Jason Wynn's payroll. He also informs Sam that Twitch is through as a policeman. It is then that Twitch remembers the shooter...Chief Banks. Now it is Twitches turn to act. Twitch arranges to meet Banks in the subway. With Sam's help, Banks is exposed as the shooter and Wynn's puppet, but being that he is still a cop they allow Banks one last chance. They allow him to kill himself.

Meanwhile, Wanda is worried about her mysterious pregnancy and she reveals to Granny that she is considering aborting the child. Granny is a wise, blind woman and she knows the child is not Terry's, but still she begs Wanda not to abort. Shortly after the conversation, Granny suffers a heart attack. It is not fatal, and when she wakes Spawn has stopped by for a visit. They speak freely to one another, and Spawn tells the old woman about his regrets and she speaks of her missing her dear husband Jack, that all she wants is to see the love in his eyes one last time.

In the graveyard Spawn tells Jade about the bounty hunters, but she knows. They have come for her because of her betrayal when she spared the Hellspawn's life. She tells Spawn that his only chance for a new life is for him to use his shroud for something good and decent. The Bounty hunters attack. Jade is hit. Spawn wants to help her, but doesn't want her to die. If the Hunters kill her, she will go to Hell. If Hellspawn does the deed, she will ascend to the heavens where warriors go. As painful as it is for him, Spawn kills Jade with her own sword. The hunters take her body and inform Spawn that they will be back for the child.

Following Jade's inspiration, Spawn uses his shroud to grant Granny her wish. He allows the dead to speak, and the blind to see. For a moment Granny is young again and with her husband Jack. They look into each others eyes and Jack tells her that he is waiting for her at the gates of heaven. Spawn returns to Cogliostro where he says the words that have been smoldering in his blackened soul for years...

...I want my humanity back.
