- In Metropolis, Conner holds the kryptonite-poisoned Superman and everything that has happened to him flashes before his eyes. Zod says that Jor-El chose Earth to send his son, so that Kal-El could be a god among men. However, Superman failed to take his place as humanity's god, and Zod will lead Earth to galactic supremacy, turning the planet into New Krypton., christened in the blood of Superman. Zod tells Conner to execute Superman,
At the North Pole, five minutes earlier, Nightwing reaches the downed Bioship and the team. M'gann leaves the wreckage and assures Nightwing that it isn't as bad as it looks. He says that he rolled with Lor's attack and cut his forehead to fake an injury, then slowed his pulse to feign his death. Nightwing explain that Young Justice went to the Zone searching for Conner, and followed the Boom Tube to the Fortress on the trail of Zod and his team. M'gann explains that Superman and Orion took the brunt of the Eye's blast, and M'gann and Saturn Girl created a telepathic illusion faking their deaths. Superman was taken down by the kryptonite Nightwing brought, and Zod and his group took a Boom Tube to Metropolis.
Nightwing confirms that Kal, Huntress, and Zatanna are in Metropolis, and Rocket didn't make it. Kid Flash comes over and says that Forager II is down for the count from the crash, as is Bioship. Baby arrives to take them to Metropolis.
In Metropolis, Zod tells Conner to do his duty. Connor remembers telling Superman he's taking the name "Conner Kent" and Superman telling him that the name seems right, then Clark introducing Conner to his parents, and them all hoping Conner will accept them as his parents. He also remembers Superman introducing him to his son, Jonathan. In the present, Conner says that he can't kill Superman again because he's family.
Both Lor and Ursa tell Zod that he should kill Conner. Kid Flash arrives and takes Zod's kryptonite. When Lor goes after him, the remaining Young Justice members drive the magically-enhanced school bus into Lor, and Zatanna magically renders it invisible. Baby flies the others to Metropolis, and Nightwing warns that once the sun rises, the Kryptonians will be at full strength. He tells M'gann that she can't hold back.
In Metropolis, the police evacuate the civilians while the Eye manages to blast the school bus. Zod tells Ma'alefa'ak to reopen the portal to the Zone and summon his army of Kryptonians. Faora and Non come through, and Faora says the other Kryptonians will arrive within the hour. Zatanna, Kal, and Huntress attack, and Kid Flash gets Huntress out of the way when Lor throws a car at him. Ma'alefa'ak telepathically reaches out to Zatanna's mind and disrupt the fire circle she's cast around him, while Kid Flash tries to grab the Eye and is shocked. Non grabs Huntress, and Kal attacks Zod. Conner knocks Kal back, and Zod tells Conner to kill Kal.
In the sewers, Mother Box makes mental contact with Danny Chase. Ma'alefa'ak mentally enters Danny's mind. Meanwhile, Ursa attacks Zatanna, who throws a fire spell on the Eye. The Eye easily disperses the fire. Zod prepares to kill Superman but is blasted away by Baby, and Nightwing drops down and kicks Huntress free of Non's grip. The two of them attack Non, while Phantom Girl and Chameleon Boy attack Ma'alefa'ak. Chameleon Boy and Ma'alefa'ak both take on alien forms and fight, and Kal attacks Lor.
When Conner tries to help Zod, M'gann appears before Conner. He says that he's a killer, and she tell him that it's not true and she still recognizes his mind touch and knows he could never do her any harm. She telepathically shows him his past, and the two of them together.
When Zatanna is overwhelmed by the eye, M'gann attacks the Eye while Zatanna magically heals Superman. Zod throws Kal into Zatanna, and Conner gives Zod one chance to stand down. Zod refuses, and Conner fights Lor while Superman fights Zod. Meanwhile, Ursa drives her fist into M'gann's chest and pulls out her heart. M'gann telepathically makes Ursa think she's killed her, and mentally severs her link with the Eye. Saturn Girl goes to Danny's aid, breaks Ma'alefa'ak's link since he's distracted by Chameleon Boy and Phantom Girl, and has Danny telepathically attack Ma'alefa'ak. Danny kicks Ma'alefa'ak out of his mind and tells Saturn Girl that he knows what he has to do.
Conner and Zod fight, and Conner and Superman perform a combo to take down their opponents. M'gann arrives and telepathically stuns Lor, and Danny arrive and creates a Boom Tube, and Nightwing and Huntress knock Non into it. Rocket arrives in a Time Sphere and traps Faora in a force sphere, and drops the Kryptonian into the Boom Tube. Danny blasts Ma'alefa'ak into the Tube, and Superman and Conner knock Zod into the Tube. The Eye takes Ursa away, and Lor gets into Rocket's Time Sphere and departs. The League arrives, and Conner says that he's fine. Saturn Girl says that with Lor on the loose with a Time Sphere, they're back where they started.
Later, Gar is doing a TV interview saying that he's still on leave from the Outsider and 'Space Trek'. Clark is in his apartment watching the interview, and turns it off as Lois and Jon come in. Jon's parents sit down with him and tell him that Conner is alive, and they turn on a video of Conner and M'gann announcing their wedding.
In Happy Harbor, M'gann's sister M'ree brings her parents for the wedding. The League are there, and Black Canary tells them that they need a place where people can to escape "the life", a sanctuary.
Gar meets with Perdita. She says that she will always love and care about him, but she's moved on and he needs to do the same. Conner and Clark arrive, and hear Kal saying that the Kryptonians in the Zone have served their sentences and they can't leave them there. When Chameleon Boy warns that when the Kryptonians were released in the 31st century and almost conquered his homeworld of Durla, Clark suggests they release the Kryptonians on the red sun world of Trombus. The others agree.
On Warworld, Vandal Savage and Ultra-Humanite put all of the Kryptonians in stasis, with Klarion's help.
In the Zone, Apokolips briefly appears then disappears. Grayven takes Ma'alefa'ak to Durla in return for Ma'alefa'ak aiding Darkseid.
On Earth, Rocket tells Orion that she survived because her force bubble protected her when the portal collapses. She appeared in Metron's Infinity Vault, and Metro offered her Lor's Time Sphere so she could go home. Metron gave it to her as part of an experiment he was running. The New God preset the coordinates, so they took her to Earth.
Lor discovers that the locked control of the Time Sphere take him to Marz, where he is killed in the explosion that supposedly killed Conner six months ago. In the Mobius Dimension, Metron smiles in satisfaction.
The Eye takes a pregnant Ursa into space, and she swears she will raise the child to wreak vengeance for the House of Zod. She goes to Daxam.
The Time Sphere appears at the wedding on Earth. Brainiac-5 emerges and takes the stranded Legionnaires home, and says that the original timeline has been restored. Conner wonders why he was so important, and Saturn Girl tells him that he'll find out.
Snapper Carr begins the ceremony, having been ordained online. Jon acts as the ring boy, and Conner and M'gann exchange rings and vows, and Snapper pronounces them husband and wife
On Apokolips, Grayvin introduces Granny Goodness' two new recruits to Darkseid: Black Mary and Kara Zor-El, recently of the Zone and known as Supergirl. The two women are the next generation of Furies, who will take the battle to the heroes who betrayed them.
