Summary (from http://milestone.luthor.com/comics_detail.asp?ID=284&):

Sideshow is beat up by Donner for killing Dharma. Mechanic and Blitzen attempt in vain to save the life of Dharma. We are introduced to Red Dog as Dharma is having an afterlife experience. Red Dog and Dharma have an argument concerning the direction and running of the Shadow Cabinet. We see that Dharma is brought back to life in a different body, by the magic of Red Dog. Dharma reveals that his real name is Harry Chawney and that Plus is actually a combination of his two sisters, Bina and Apurna. The team seems happy but a brooding Dharma hints a dark future ahead.
