Synopsis: - Batman continues to be confronted with 'Sam', who is taking over various dead bodies and blaming Batman for his death. Perusing the obituaries, Batman concludes that Sam must be Samuel Yates, a child killed in a car crash recently. Batman takes the unusual measure of 'borrowing' a corpse from the morgue, tying it up, and waiting for Sam to appear. He learns that Sam wants little more than to be able to see his mum and dad again. As Bruce Wayne, Batman visits Sam's father, where he discovers that Sam's mother Myra is spending almost all of her time out at the scene of the accident that killed Sam, blaming herself and wishing Sam back again. Sam tries to talk to her in the body of a dead homeless man, but this just scares her - into the path of a truck. Batman swoops in and saves her, which at least partly convinces Sam that he really does try to save all the lives he can.
