The Science Police and Mon-El take down Shrapnel. General Lane is monitoring, and finds out that Mon-El is not Kryptonian. Jimmy consults with Zatara about what he saw in the fight between Atlas and Superman, and Zatara confirms that it was magic. Jim Harper recruits a team from the Science Police for an off the record mission, to rescue Tellus. Mon-El is relieved that he's been able to work effectively as Superman's replacement, but in mid-flight, he suddenly loses his powers.
