Plot
Brainiac's probes arrive in Metropolis, and Supergirl and Lois confront them. On the ship Superman and Brainiac continue their confrontation, and Superman gains the upper hand, putting Brainiac temporarily out of commission. He then goes to get the Kandor bottle, which starts communicating with him. Supergirl's parents are alive in there, and tell how they and Argo City survived the initial destruction of Krypton using Brainiac's technology. But Brainiac tracked them down, destroying Argo City, which forced Zor-El and Alura to send Kara away to Earth in the moments before destruction. But Brainiac has recovered; he severs the communications link and recaptures Superman. Supergirl is also captured and brought to the ship. A bottle starts forming around Metropolis, and the ship then fires a weapon into the Earth's sun.
