John Henry Irons suits up as Steel and fights Atlas, but eventually loses. The Guardian gives various jobs to the Science Police. Zachary Zatara is talking with a stagehand when the Parasite tries to ambush him, but the stagehand turns the tables and reveals himself as Mark Merlin. Dr. Light's kids have a play date with the Guardian's daughter Gwendoline, while their parents talk. Sodam Yat is stopped from seeing Mon-El by Tellus, who tells him that evil would win out if they meet now. Yat believes him, but wants some Daxam knowledge crystals passed on to Mon-El, which Tellus agrees to do.
