Charlieho Lairda opäť mátajú zlé sny. A pritom ich nemal od čias, ako sa odvážne postavil svojim strachom. Zakaždým sa ocitne v Podsvetí na poli, obklopený stádom desivých čiernych oviec. Nie sú to obyčajné ovečky, aké počítame, keď nevieme zaspať. Okrem toho, že vyzerajú hrozivo, nerobia vlastne nič mimoriadne. Charlieho však najviac znepokojuje, že to nie je jeho vlastná nočná mora. Jednoducho uviazol v zlom sne niekoho iného. A dal by ruku do ohňa za to, že v tom majú prsty dvojčatá ICK a INK...

But can he offer his brother the same freedom, the same choices, in the face of those who have mapped out Zuko's future?"--
