Lex collapses as the radiation protection field from the Leviathan ship targets him, and Gemma pins a device on Lex's lapel to protect him. Once Lex recovers, he suggests that they discuss their plan to take out Supergirl.

Lex tells him that he got the ship's location but it has a defense mechanism. Brainiac asks for the protective device, but Lex refuses and says that Rama and the other element benders will Supergirl and then they'll upload Brainiac's mortality code into the ship to kill the Leviathan members.

Brainiac says that he won't and shows Querl a container to let him reclaim the actions of their ancestors for good rather than evil... by shrinking them and putting them into stasis rather than harm the planet and his friends. Querl points out that if he enters the ship without Lex's pin, he'll die. Brainiac tells Querl hat he pushed everyone he loved because of what Querl's said, and it's worth it.
