Finally! At long last Hoover makes his appearance! You remember him, sent off by Jesse to count 3 million grains of sand? Well, he did it, although it was a close thing as he was nearly side tracked by his good friends Mr Fish and Mr Rock! While Hoover celebrates, Jesse wanders over to Cassidy's old haunt McSorleys in the hope of finding out more about him. Turns out that there isn't anyone who remembers him still there, but an old bag lady offers to tell Jesse more about him. Starr seems to be cracking under pressure - he resorts to chasing old ladies and shooting loud speakers in an airport, and his day doesn't much improve when Eisenstein, his old mentor appears to investigate him, thus challenging his position as Allfather. The bag lady Jesse met, Sally, starts to tell him that there's more to Cassidy than the devil-may-care vampire he comes across as. The comic ends with Hoover reunited with Featherstone, but Starr is far too concerned about Eisenstein's sudden appearance to care. Not a bad one this, looks like the build up to the final show down, and Starr's the real hero here - he's like the worst tempered man in existence, and the sight of him frantically chasing a little old lady with a trolley is brilliant.
