Recap[]
Inside the EarthGov holding facility, Minister Niedrigh has captured Booster Gold and tortures him to get more imformation. Kirt is wondering why the Legion would accept a human like him in their ranks. He also wonders why he can't find any imformation about him in their history files, but Booster says that he can't answer to that either. Niedrigh then reveals his scientists have separated Skeets into pieces and have found everything they wanted to know about Booster Gold from Skeets's data. Niedrigh then calls him a liar and a thief and states that Booster Gold needed Skeets from the begimning, and he is nothing without his robotic partner. One of the scientists imforms Niedrigh that they are ready to activate their plan, so Niedrigh leaves the room, but before he does he orders his soldiers to re-purpose the prisoners, leaving Booster Gold promising to Skeets he will find a way out.
Back at New Krypton, some Kryptonian scientists imform Cancellor Pa-Vel that energy is spinning across the worldship. Suddenly the citizens hear a loud noise. Then the Cancellor states that "it has began."
Meanwhile Cosmic Boy has gathered all the members of the Legion so they can stop the upcoming war.
In the Amazon forest, outside Faora's tomb, Clark and Kara are discussing about the war. Clark says that maybe the humans are not ready for a relationship with New Krypton and it might take a long time to do so. Kara defending the Kryptonians says that humans are not able to change and like many of her kind she does not think very highly of them. This conversation leads in a big fight between the two cousins but Clark manages to explain to Kara that the humans are not all like Kirt Niedrigh, giving examples of his adopted parents and Lois. They both manage to calm eachother when suddenly Kara gets a call from New Krypton and at the same time Clark gets a call from the Legion.

Clark seems suprised and Kara asks about Doomsday so Cosmic Boy explains to her that it was a monster that Clark defeated some years ago. Brainiac 5 says that it is possible Earthgov did not authorize the attack on New Krypton, or, if they did, maybe Kirt Niedrigh wasn't actually clear to his superiors about what he found beneath old Metropolis.

Unfortunately, Clark and the other Kryptonians' efforts are not enough to stop Doomsday so Clark decides to take the monster and throw it to the sun. Cancellor Pa-Vel says to Clark that he isn't powerful enough to escape the sun's gravity, and Clark responds that he is aware of that.
