Quote1 The couple argued frequently over which of them was the better. Lilith refused to submissively agree that she was less than Adam's equal and left him--despite the pleas of three angels: Sanvi, Sansanvi, and Semangelaf. Lilith paid a tragic price for her liberated defiance. The angels slaughtered the children she'd had by Adam. Quote2

Synopsis for "Lighthouse of the Possessed"

Morbius accompanies Amanda Saint to Malevolence, Maine where she would hopefully gain more answers about her family. There they continued to run into the cult of Demon-Fire. Amanda's mother had heard that Morbius was responsible for the collapse of their San Francisco branch and informed their leader Blood-Tide. Blood-Tide sentences both Morbius and Amanda to death. Disguised as Mrs. Agnes the innkeeper Amanda's mom returns to the hotel and sends Oliver her deaf human puppet in to kill the two. Morbius spots Oliver and kills him by throwing him out the window. The hunger infects Morbius and he succumbs to feeding on Oliver in front of Amanda who flees from Morbius into a pack of zombified individuals called the possessed. They chase the two as they pass by Brock Kilbride and Arlene Randolph who are assisting Duke Mannery during his campaign. Their fate is left unknown as the horde of possessed are running toward them.

While escaping Morbius and Amanda run into Amanda's mother still disguised as Mrs. Agnes wielding an axe. Morbius fights her off and kills her before removing her mask. Amanda who has fainted during the attack is carried away by Morbius who pockets the wedding band of Amanda's mother. He insists that he will return this legacy of her family back to her and that is all that he is willing to give from her mother. The two walk away from the nightmare that has just transpired.

While it the girl was not at fault Ernest's grandfather threw the scantily clad girl out into the cold snow.
