Synopsis:

Nightwing is in chains. Kara is being prepared for her wedding to "Kal-El" by Saturn Queen, and under her mind control. Saturn Queen then confronts Power Girl, telling her they have met and fought in another time. Power Girl realizes that Kara is being controlled, but as Saturn Queen starts to deny the level of control, she feels pain, and her nose starts to bleed, caused by something Kara did. "Kal-El" is getting a yellow-sun treatment to keep his powers in Kandor, and talks with Kara. Suddenly, she flashes back, and starts thinking of killing "Kal-El". Saturn Queen had sensed this, and rushes back, mentally telling Kara to stop. Kara sees scenes in her head about how Saturn Queen was defeated in a Superman/Batman team-up, and how she found Ultraman in the phantom zone, and how they then landed together in Kandor. She gets Kara under control, and confronts her, but that makes Kara flash back to a time with her mother, telling her to end the curse of El. This finally breaks Saturn Queen's control completely, and Kara attacks her. Saturn Queen tells Ultraman to attack Kara, but Kara attacks first, pounding him through the wall and into the wall of the dome around Kandor. Power Girl, about to be beheaded, hears the sound of that. Saturn Queen rushes out, and tells them to execute Power Girl immediately, but Kara intervenes, and frees Power Girl. The fight is on, as Ultraman also attacks, but Kara defeats him, and is about to kill him, when Saturn Queen mentally intervenes. She asked that her son be spared if she shares information about Argo City. The information is shared, and Kara leaves Ultraman alone, and departs with Power Girl.
