WARNING: If you don't want to know what happened in this episode, don't read this photo recap!
So, if you were wondering, like everyone in Kandor has been, where the hell Doomsday dawdled off to, it's here. In the Outlands. Now on the windshield of a skimmer.
443644
Meanwhile, up on Wegthor, Val and Jax are busy rallying the troops in preparation for a rebellion in Kandor.
443645
And on Colu, Lobo has Seg and Adam tied to a tree in unbreakable chains. He's thrown Adam's Zeta device into the river, before threatening to cannibalize the pair's insides. Seg manages to escape certain gruesome death by offering to show Lobo the body of Brainiac, whom Seg has vanquished. This whets Lobo's sick appetite, mostly because Brainiac killed his race and destroyed their civilization.
443646
Lyta is training new Sagittari, and she's picked out a pupil to whoop. When she takes him to the mat, though, she hallucinates Seg's face on her opponent's body, and it freaks her out. Looks like she's got a guilty conscience.
443647
After taking Lobo to Brainiac's final resting place, Lobo is dismayed: his special Brainiac sensor isn't registering any Brainiac when held over Brainiac's remains. Could it be an elaborate hoax involving cut-price Brainiac Halloween costumes? The more likely story is that Brainiac is now... inside Seg.
443648
Nyssa is sent up to Wegthor to spy for General Zod, who is still holding her baby, Cor-Vex, ransom. She bumps into Val and Jax, and drops them a valuable piece of information: periodically the radiation gets so bad on Wegthor that all comms are downed. They can use this to their advantage. They appreciate the tip, but are still suspicious.
443649
What ensues up on Colu is an even fight between Lobo and Seg. The latter discovers that, having engulf Brainiac, he also has access to the supervillain's powers, like super strength, kung fu, telepathy, eye discoloration. This spat goes on for a while.
443650
Jax does some digging, and finds out where General Zod's functionaries make material drop offs during the communications outages. She's planned to have a brigade of saboteurs ready at the terminal when they arrive.
443651
Well, Lobo finally gets the better of Seg/Brainiac, and is about ready to gut the hybrid behind when Adam, who's been off-screen for a wee while, blows a hole right through Lobo's belly. That's... strange.
443652
Thing is, Lobo's got a great immune system, and it's healing up that wound faster than you can say, RUN!
443653
Meanwhile, in the Outlands, Lor and Jayna Zod are reconciling about their youths, pasts, and the many bad things they did to each other. Never again, says Jayna. Of course, she's hallucinating her brother, but it is a comfort nonetheless.
443654
When the training session has come to a close, Lyta detains her pupil after class. She asks him questions, and turns out he's got a background similar to Seg's. When he makes a pass at Lyta, however, she reacts with disproportionate force, and she leaves him a bloody, dead pulp on the training floor.
443655
Seg/Brainiac and Adam traipse through the forest looking for the Zeta Beam that Lobo tossed in the stream. Seg tells Adam that he thinks he's only got a few more hours of being the captain of his own mind ship before Brainiac pulls a full-scale mutiny. They've got to move fast.
443656
To console and comfort his mother (really strange relationship they've got), General Zod gives Lyta Nyssa's baby (speaking of strange relationships) to raise as her own. This really, can't POSSIBLY turn out well.
443657
Jayna comes in from the cold to an Outland dive bar, and makes herself right at home, by decking the first guy that tries to deny her a drink. Besides that schmuck, there are other notables among the clientele: for one, Dev-Em.
443658
Well, it was a good thing that Jax and Val were suspicious of Nyssa: turns out that story about the comms and the radiation was part of General Zod's plan to crush the resistance. Wow, Nyssa.
443659
When a couple of Sagittari hunting for Jayna-Zod happen to drop into the bar, the heat turns up. Jayna takes out a few of the Sagittari, but it's Dev who vanquishes the last of them. For Jayna, it's a big surprise to see him.
443660
Adam finds the Zeta Beam, and is ready to blast the two of them off Colu when Seg stops him. He can't go back to Krypton with Brainiac still inside him. That means, either they manage to get Brainiac out... or Adam has to kill Seg. Will the intergallactic bromance finally come to an end?!
