Illusions While Conduit is being held in a special cell at S.T.A.R. Labs, Clark Kent and Lois Lane observe as S.T.A.R. Labs personnel remove the body from underneath the Superman Memorial Statue in Centennial Park. Clark spots a jet in trouble, and Superman performs the rescue.
Alice White, who has been volunteering to help the children of the recently destroyed Coates Street Orphanage, asks Lois for help from the Daily Planet. Lois interviews Betty Blake, the head of the orphanage.
Conduit, with one hand freed so that he may eat, manages to escape from his cell. Superman, hearing the alarm from S.T.A.R. Labs, quickly attends to the emergency. When the two foes meet in midair, Conduit quickly blasts the Man of Steel into the ground.
