All is going according to plan until the Fantastic Four break free from the trap Namor set for them. Beaten back to the sea, Namor takes Invisible Woman hostage in hopes of wooing her over. Dorma, however, grows jealous of Namor's affectionsfor the other woman and sets her free. Invisible Woman begins to drown and almost dies after Dorma set her free in the middle of the ocean depths. The rest of the Fantastic Four begrudgingly allow him to take her to help. Upon his return to Atlantis, Namor finds his people have abandoned him yet again.
