Synopsis General Zod, Ursa, and Non enter the Fortress, and start the Jor-El simulation. They ask it to tell about General Zod. The simulation gives a brief history of the Phantom Zone, the criminals in it, and then describes why Zod and his cohorts were sent there. They then explore the Fortress, and take the phantom zone projector. Lois and Clark take Chris to the Daily Planet to introduce their new foster son, and meet Jimmy. But heat beams coming from outside interrupt, and Clark rushes off to change. In mid change, he's attacked by Non, and confronted by Zod. Superman recognizes them, calling them criminals. Meanwhile, Ursa finds Lois and Chris, and tells Lois to give the boy to her, calling him Lor-Zod and her son. Superman and Zod continue the fight, with Zod saying that they will take over the Earth. Superman says "You and what army?", and Zod replies "This one", as dozens more ships crash down into Metropolis. They open, and Jax-Ur and other Kryptonians emerge. Zod retrieves the phantom zone projector, and projects Superman into the zone. General Zod, Ursa, and Non enter the Fortress, and start the Jor-El simulation. They ask it to tell about General Zod.
