TL388 - Lanterns - S1E06 - Bad Optics

Hello Lantern Corps!  10 years have passed since the battle in Rushville. There is major fallout.  Hal took the fall and has been in prison for all that time until recently. The Guardians created a new ring and made Guy Gardner the Green Lantern. The people who could leave Rushville did. The ones who stayed are bitter.  John has reconciled with his brothers. He and his younger brother, Marcus, have started a successful architecture firm building saferooms and safe shelters for the crazy world.

John is about to close on a deal with his city and the military to build multiple shelters for the town. But his mom calls and convinces him Hal want to reconcile. John reluctantly heads to Rushville. Hal moved to Rushville. He has been dating Kerry and trying to make amends with the townspeople. But He didn't ask John to come. He is not going to apologize to him. He tells John not to let anyone know he was there.

John just gets home when he gets the call from Sherrif Kane that Hal is dead. He returns and hears from Kerry about Hal. He does not tell her or others he was there. But the waitress at the café knows. She was the little girl he handed her watch to after the battle. She seeks him out and wants reparations for the damage done to her family or she will tell about the meeting of Hal & John.

Hal has a storage unit with a voice activated box in it. They need his live voice to open it.  John activated the Green Lantern signal to call Guy. He beats up Billy and other townies. His nice dinner with Kerry and Noah is interrupted and she must arrest him. Guy shows up and they talk. John says Guy owes him and he wants Hal in uniform and with his ring for the funeral.

Guy comes through. John reads the eulogy Hal wrote to a crowd of three, Kerry, Carol Ferris (Hal's former love), and himself.  Later, John digs up Hal and takes the ring. He taps the ring and unlocks 5% and activated the Halogram to help him.
