Morgan Edge in a TV editorial questions whether Mon-El is friend or foe. Mon-El is too busy to care, fighting villains all over the world, while playing tourist and having his first kiss. Tellus says goodbye to his friend the Guardian, giving him an unknown farewell present that will be needed in battle. Atlas gets admitted to Ironworks undercover as John Henry Iron's friend. The Guardian goes on Edge's show to say that Mon-El is definitely a friend. General Lane contracts with the Prankster to distract Black Lightning, and in the future dispose of a hero's body, making it look like a super-villain did it. Atlas reveals himself to John, and lets him know he's about to die.
