Synopsis for "New Worlds, Part Two"

Dorian attacks Clark, wearing his form and wielding his drained powers. Clark goads Dorian into repeatedly hitting him rather than attacking innocent civilians and draws the fight away from the Daily Planet. Once they are safely high up in the air, Clark activates LexCorp-manufactured anti-Kryptonian weapons secreted around the city, exploiting Dorian's inexperience with his powers. Dorian is first incapacitated by high-frequency sound that he doesn't know how to block out and then blasted from multiple directions with Kryptonite lasers that the real Superman could easily dodge. Maddened by pain and rage Dorian destroys all the lasers with a massive, continuous blast of heat vision, discharging all his stored solar energy and rendering himself powerless. He falls to the ground where Clark punches him out and removes Norah's bracelet from his wrist, returning him to normal.

After the fight Norah Stone gives a press conference, claiming that Superman causes more damage than his enemies when he saves the day, and that she has a way to give humans powers like Kryptonians. Lois watches the interview at home and calls into the Planet, telling them to get a response from Supercorp. Supergirl and the Irons' bring Osul and Otho-Ra home after their first day of school at the Steelworks Institute. Otho admits that she got into a fight at school when another student made fun of Osul and Lois tells her that she can't just resort to violence to solve her problems any more and that they don't fight in their family. She is immediately undercut when Clark walks in bloody and dishevelled.

While Lois and Clark talk Supergirl takes the twins into their room and shows them a book of "House Fables" she found in Kandor. She explains that on Krypton every House had a fable to teach their children principles to live by. When a Kryptonian house joined the Phaelosians its records were erased from history, but the book was published before that and has the fables of the original Phaelosian houses; including their birth family the House of Ra. She shows them the House of Ra's sigil and reads them the fable. In the ancient times of Krypton, two giants lived below the planet's surface; one which could only create and one which could only destroy. Due to their battles Krypton was constantly reshaped, and the world was locked in perpetual war and upheaval. Two tribes, the Aivor and Eldani, were bitter enemies who fought against each other for generations, but when their homelands sank below the waves due to the giants' battle, their two greatest heroes; Red Son and Starchild, set aside their conflict to find a new home for both their people.

Norah Stone returns to her headquarters, a disused church, and descends into a secret chamber. She communes with three demons and tells them that she has drained enough power from Superman to create a team of their own, and she believes she can get one of the Super-Family to join them.

Meanwhile, Superman tells Steel that his powers have been siphoned off and are returning too slowly. He asks John Henry if he has anything that can give him a boost until he is back at full strength and Steel builds Clark a suit of armour and sword to compensate for his diminished powers.

Synopsis for "Secret Identity, Part One"

Superboy, Supergirl and the Super-Twins fight a villain known as the "Worm Emperor", who fights them with Kryptonite-infused mutant sandworms. They are being steadily weakened by the Kryptonite, but Kong Kenan swoops in and saves the day in the nick of time. Supergirl invites Kong to officially join the Super-Family but Osul and Otho object and say that he is a spy. They fly to Kenan's apartment in Metropolis and, when the others chase after them, the twins show Superboy and Supergirl that Kenan has been tracking them. Superboy asks Kenan what is going on.

Recently in China, a journalist working on discovering the secret identity of the American Superman died of a sudden stroke, apparently caused by an inexplicable rise in temperature of a small region of his brain. Wang Baixi, the Bat-Man of China, suspected that he was murdered with Kryptonian heat vision and asked Kenan to go to America and investigate the Super-Family. Kenan admits the truth to the Super-Family but tells them that he now understands they are heroes and stopped tracking them a while ago. He asks them to simply tell him their secret identities so he can tell Wang that they check out, but Superboy refuses.

Kenan has Robinpod, a portion of Robinbot which Baixi sent with him, scan the Super-Family for clues about their identity. Robinpod matches the soil on the Super-Twins' boots to the region of Kansas around Smallville, and tells Kenan that the only privately owned farm in the area is registered to Clark Kent. Kenan realises that Clark Kent is Superman, then has a sudden stroke and falls to the ground, seemingly dead.
