- On the Galactic Science Prison of Oa, Tomar Tu welcomes a guest, and Tomar's ring confirms the visitor is Daxamite with no criminal record. The visitor, Lor, inquires about the Kaiser-Thrall. Tomar's ring confirms that the Kaiser-Thrall has been released to its planet of origin, Earth. Tomar says that any further information about the Kaiser-Thrall is confidential, and Lor walks off. As he goes, Lor says that he knew Tomar-Tu's father, and hopes Tomar Tu will follow in his father's footsteps.
In the Zone, Nightwing and his teammates search for Conner. Nightwing spots Conner, and the team approaches Conner when he's alone and Conner assumes they're hallucinations brought on by Zone sickness. They say that they're real and they're there to take home. Zod and his followers arrive and surround the team, and Zod figures the team must have a way out of the Zone.
On the Watchtower, Miss Martian teleports aboard. Forager II is there with the Kaiser-Thrall, that is sentient and contains a human brain. Black Lightning asks Miss Martian to telepathically establish communication with the human brain, and Miss Martian confirms that the human brain belongs to Danny Chase, an 11-year-old. He was a runaway who was tested and then trafficked to Apokolips, where Desaad cut out Danny's brain and put him in the Kaiser-Thrall shell. Danny has telekinesis and some multi-dimensional abilities, which the Apokolipitans are using to kill him.
Miss Martian telepathically merges her mind, Black Lightning's, Aquaman, and Forager II's with any so they can talk "face-to-face". He's glad they can see who he really is, and Black Lightning swears the League will do everything they can to help Danny. An incoming message arrives for Miss Martian, from Prince J'emm. He tells her that he believes Conner is still alive.
In the Zone, Conner realizes that the team is no hallucination because Zod can see them, and has vague memories of them and M'gann. Zod says that he used Conner as bait, and Nightwing agrees to help Zod's people escape the Zone. Conner tells Zod that Nightwing is lying, and Kal tells Conner that he can't side with the imprisoned Kryptonians against his oldest friends. Kal says that M'gann can help restore Conner's fracture memories, but Conner says that he can never go back to M'gann because he might hurt her because he's a killer who killed Superman.
Superman arrives at the Watchtower to move the Watchtower above Earth's Zeta Shield, allowing J'emm to teleport in along with Phantom Girl. J'emm vouches for Phantom Girl, and he links the others to Phantom Girl's mind. She explains that she phased Conner to the Zone to save him from the bomb on Marz, and Conner fell under the influence of Zod. Phantom Girl escaped and asked J'emm to help her find M'gann, who she believes is the only one who can bring Conner back. Superman sees Phantom Girl's Legion ring and believes she's telling the truth.
In Subspace aboard Bioship, Lor wonders where the third Legionnaire who was with Saturn Girl and Chameleon Boy is. Ma'alefa'ak\ takes on Chameleon Boy's form to try to access his Legion ring.
Superman is able to raise the team on their communications, and Phantom Girl says that she can't reach her fellow Legionnaires, which is why she came to the League for help. The Kryptonian asks Black Lightning to trust him, and Miss Martian asks Phantom Girl to take her to Conner. Phantom Girl warns that she might not be up to, but suggests they use the Projector on New Genesis. Forager II says that it was destroyed, and Phantom Girl says that she'll try to transport Miss Martian to the Zone and takes her hand.
The two find themselves on Phantom Girl's homeworld Bgztl in the 21st century, beset by storms. The Legionnaires figures that she overshot the Zone, and Miss Martian uses her telepathic link to redirect Phantom Girl's powers. They return to the Watchtower instead.
Nightwing tells Conner that Superman isn't dead, and Zod has the team confirm that Krypton was destroyed. Kal offers to create a probationary court to consider their cases individually, but Zod says that they've already served their sentences and should be released as a sign of good faith. The team hesitates, and Zod figures they fear the power of his house and won't let them leave.
Zod has Conner contain his teammates. When he hesitates, Zod has his followers contain the team. They overwhelm the team, and Kal tells them to focus on their powers rather than their gear, and Zatanna should use her magic directly on the Kryptonians. Zod tells Conner to prove who he serves, and the Kryptonians rally and capture Young Justice. The general tells them to show them the way out.
Danny tells Miss Martian that he knows the location of the Zone, and they use a Mother Box to link Danny to Phantom Girl. He says that he can manage the power one last time, and they contact Orion to have him bring them a Mother Box. Orion warns that they'll also be opening a portal for every Kryptonian criminal in the Zone, and says that he set the Mother Box to open the portal to the planet Trombus under a red sun, where the criminals will be powerless. Orion suggests they summon Rocket to use her force bubbles, but Miss Martian says that she wasn't able to reach Young Justice. J'emm and Forager II agree to help, while Ma'alefa'ak\ posing as Chameleon Boy contacts Phantom Girl, poses as Kid Flash and the Legionnaires. Phantom Girl says that Conner is alive, and they're going to Trombus to open the portal. Ma'alefa'ak\ says that they'll meet them on Trombus.
Nightwing uses a piece of Green Kryptonite that he brought to weaken Conner. It has no effect otherwise on the Kryptonians while it's in the Zone, and Zatanna warns the others that she can't use her magic to transport them and Conner to the bus, because Conner's will is acting as an anchor. On Nightwing's command, Zatanna casts a glamour to render the team invisible.
On Trombus, Miss Martian and the others arrive and Superman's power drains away. Danny opens a portal to the Zone, who says that he can take the pain.
Zod sends his people to find the seemingly-vanished Young Justice, and tells Conner to stay with him. The portal opens in the Zone and Zod recognizes the Boom Tube. Zod, Conner, Ursa and Thera go through, and Zod tells the others to wait until he assembles his army on the other side. Miss Martian makes telepathic contact with Conner, and he says that he can't risk going to the real world.
Miss Martian leads the others in to get Conner, while an invisible Ma'alefa'ak\ arrives. Danny telepathically spots Ma'alefa'ak\, who mentally fractelizes Danny, killing him. The Kaiser-Thrall attacks the League and their allies from behind, immobilizing them. Lor arrives with the unconscious Kid Flash.
Zod orders Conner to follow him, and enters the portal. Young Justice watches from hiding, and they figure they have to close the portal.
Zod and the others arrive on Trombus, and Conner collapses from his wounds from Marz. Lor greets his parents and tells them that the galaxy is theirs.
