A flashback shows how Brainiac stole Kandor from Krypton. At a staff meeting at the Daily Planet, Perry White welcomes Steve Lombard as new sports editor, and welcomes back Catherine Grant. A Brainiac probe enters Earth's atmosphere; Superman intercepts. It analyzes him, sends the information, and then shuts down. Brainiac's headship receives the information.
