In a hidden cave a meditating Alex Luthor begins to realize his powers are beginning to return, while elsewhere in the paradise dimension Kal-L has recreated the Daily Star building in the hopes that work will help his ailing wife's health. He then leaves to talk to the homesick Superboy Prime promising he will help him learn to adjust to living in the dimension as soon as Lois recovers, while shortly after Alex finds Superboy watching memories of his birthday, gaining his krytonian powers and finally the destruction of his Earth. Alex then tells Superboy that the portal he viewed during the crisis wasn't hell but in fact Apokolips,letting him know if he had brought them there they could have went to New Earth. While in the potential a loop constantly plays of Earth Prime's destruction to Superboy, as Alex switches to the present day DCU to view why they sacrificed their life.He then pushes Superboy far enough to the point were he punches the wall of their dimension changing reality itself.
While elsewhere Kal-L takes Lois to a replica of Metropolis which helps her regain a little of her strength, while Lois tries to make Kal realize that her ageing is natural. And while elsewhere Superboy Prime is continually pressured by Alex to attempt to fix everything,which he refuses fleeing only to hear Kal-L talking to Lois about how he will never grow up and become Superman. This spurs him to to return to Alex and agree to do whatever it takes to become free. Alex then begins having Superboy pound on the wall altering the history of various New Earth superheroes,before showing him the Jonathan and Naomi Kent of the New Earth and the Laurie with all three dying in a head on car crash fueling him to try to change it but he is to weakened to get through. Alex then funnels his anti-matter powers into Superboy who successfully escapes onto New Earth, with Alex coming through next.
