June 13th, Part One
At a hotel room, Dennis comes in contact with some sunlight. However, he has solar urticaria, a skin condition that causes him to blister and immediately burn when he comes into contact with sunlight. Luke and Joanne have an argument about going to the Odessa Unity Summit, as Luke believes they can find an evo who can cure Dennis's condition.
While at the summit, Dennis is awed by the display of powers, especially Mick the Ice Guy's ability to freeze things. Dennis separates from his parents right before the explosion. After the explosion, he is nowhere to be found. Luke searches for his son until the emergency response crew no longer allows him out in the wreckage.

Sundae, Bloody Sundae
Luke tells Malina that he and Joanne used to love taking Dennis to the movies. Dennis found farting especially funny. Later, at Moe's Ice Cream Parlor, Luke tells Joanne that killing Emily Duval will not bring Dennis back. Joanne suggests that she kill Emily and then Luke kill her because "then I'll be with Dennis." However, as Luke shoots fire at Joanne and Joanne shoots at Emily, Tommy Clark freezes time and stops anyone from getting hurt.

Send in the Clones
When facing off with Phoebe Frady in a cornfield, Luke recognizes her darkness as the same one that blocked everyone's powers at the summit and realizes she's responsible for Dennis' death. Later, after capturing Phoebe and her brother, Luke tells Phoebe he recognizes her work from the summit and tells her that she killed thousands of people, including his son. Luke pulls his gun to kill Phoebe and avenge Dennis, but while Quentin admits that Phoebe was responsible for Dennis' death, he tells Luke that Phoebe was just the gun and Erica Kravid pulled the trigger. Malina and Quentin are able to convince Luke not to kill Phoebe in revenge and he instead takes her and Quentin captive.
Later, Joanne is taken to Erica who Joanne has heard is responsible for the summit bombing and thus Dennis' death. Erica claims its a lie and tells Joanne she's a mother too and sympathizes with her as a result. Erica uses Joanne's grief over Dennis to manipulate her into becoming an assassin for Renautas.
Company Woman
After reaching Odessa, Texas, Luke decides to kill Phoebe and Quentin near the ruins of Primatech where Dennis died.

However, Phoebe escapes before Luke can kill her and Quentin changes sides.
At Union Wells High School, Dennis' parents have a stand-off as Joanne tries to kill Malina and Luke tries to protect her. Luke tells Joanne that killing Malina won't bring Dennis back, but Joanne tells him that revenge is all she has left. When Joanne refuses to relent in her insane quest to kill evos for Dennis' death, Luke is forced to kill her to protect Malina.
