"What Ever Happened To Scorpio?", script by Jim Steranko, pencils by Jim Steranko, inks by John Tartaglione; Val reads Nick's horoscope in the morning paper, which says "Someone in your past will return today"; Nick pays a visit on Pickman, who's helping him locate someone, and he doesn't want SHIELD involved; The ESP Division picks up "possible danger", sending Nick to a seemingly-deserted warehouse - and straight into a trap set by Scorpio!; Nick's Farrari is destroyed, and Nick is captured; While unconscious, Scorpio creates a face-mask to allow him to impersonate Nick, then goes in disguise to view the test of the latest model of LMD; But as it begins, no one else realizes the robot has been replaced with Nick, drugged so he can't speak!; Miraculously, Fury manages to dodge one death trap after another, then faces his would-be killer; Val, trying to save Nick's life, shoots at the "LMD" - but hits Pickman instead, who found his way in via a secret passage.
