Meanwhile, the Corinthian visits Ethel Cripps, who is alive and well under a new name in America. He tells her that Morpheus will be after both of them now that he's free, and suggests they use Morpheus' tools against him to destroy him once and for all. Ethel says that she doesn't have Morpheus tools any more; she sold the bag of sand, traded away the helm, and her son John took the ruby "and then the ruby took my son". The Corinthian believes she knows more than she's saying about what became of the ruby, but when he tries to force her to reveal what she knows she uses the demon's amulet to banish him. Later, she goes to visit her son, who is an inmate in a high-security mental institution, and tells him they need to talk about the ruby.

* MythologyGag: When Morpheus looks into the River of Dreams, his reflection has black pits for eyes with glowing lights as pupils. In the comics, that's what Morpheus' eyes look like all the time.
