Synopsis for "The Bloodsucker's Moxie"

A carnival has hit Metropolis and never having experienced one, Linda Lang has to check it out. Brendan, a school friend of Linda's is lost in the crowd and can't decipher Linda's poor cellphone texting ability so for the time being Supergirl is on her own.

Three teenage boys zero in on the blonde bombshell and persuade Linda to visit the freak show tent. Troy, the leader of the randy teens persuades his buddies to leave Linda and him alone 'to bond'. Expecting to learn more about Earth customs and rituals Linda is dismayed that Troy resorts to pointing and giggling at the culture, however bizarre.

One of the oddities trapped in a pickle jar is something Kara recognizes, a Fordovian Bloodsucker, and she urges Troy to avoid it at all costs. Interrupting the warning Brendan arrives and leads Linda outside. Brendan lets slip that they are boyfriend and girlfriend which knocks Linda for six. She'd been so busy with her duties as Supergirl, the fact she was in a relationship had completely eluded her.

Inside the Freak tent, left to his childish devices, Troy reaches for the jar he was told not to touch and opens it. The Bloodsucker sniffing a Kryptonian nearby grows rapidly and hunts the Teen of Steel. Giving Brendan the slip Linda leaps into action.

On Fordovia, Bloodsuckers eat Kryptonians and other humanoid life, but here on Earth the yellow sun gives Kryptonians superpowers, the only problem is, Bloodsuckers are energized by the sun too!

Hearing Brendan's cries for her Supergirl gathers her strength using her heat vision to launch the Bloodsucker into space where it can't return. Back in disguise Linda returns to Brendan but this is the last straw for him and he dumps her. It's then that Linda realizes that she'd spent so much time as Supergirl, she'd made herself a stranger to her new home. A strange visitor to a strange new world.

Synopsis for "Credit Check"

Lois and Lana are on their way to work one morning when Lois spots a lost credit card for a Mr. Kastan Broadway. Lana spotting a challenge persuades Lois to track the man down instead of just handing in the card. Chatting to Clark, Lois vents her frustrations. Clark teases his wife but that only goads her further. As it turns out, Lana's bit of fun has turned into an actual mystery.

Kastan exists on paper, but anything prior to six months doesn't exist. His place of employment never existed, his home didn't either. Lois heads to accounting where Grable, her go to guy for detecting forgeries, works.

Lana and Lois have their interest piqued when Grable reveals the card is linked to Intergang. Elliot Edwards is the unspoken forger for Intergang and of course Lois and Lana can't resist infiltrating his warehouse. Lois is able to sneak into Edward's office and question him but as soon as Lois mentions the name Kastan Broadway he clams up and throws the two women out.

Before they were ejected Lois had spotted a few clues, a post it note with the initials K.B and a matchbook from The DeCarlo Theatre. As the duo approach they see a poster of Jack Marsh, aka, Karstan Broadway! Jack reveals he has a third identity, Nathan Edwards, son to one of the founding fathers of Intergang. To escape 'servitude' to this mafia Nathan's uncle helped him disappear.

Lois agrees not to print the story and even recommends Jack's show for a review. As they wait for curtain up later that evening Lois spots a wallet on the floor, turning to Lana she smiles. "Your turn!"

Synopsis for "Bad Moon Rising"

Conner is chatting to Cassie on the phone (this is before Teen Titans #91) with a boring evening ahead. Martha interrupts the call and urges Conner to do what he's meant to be doing - studying. Conner is finding studying hard, especially with his friends so far away. He snaps at Martha and races off into the night.

Immediately regretting his actions he questions how Clark kept sane living in Kansas. He puts it down to being half Luthor and resolves to get over his issues by apologizing to Martha. As he is about to head back home he spots a dead cow and a teenager seemingly tearing it up.

Confronting the teen he is unfazed when it turns out to be a werewolf. The two battle it out but it's during the fight they both realize they are both venting frustration. As an odd twist the two become friends and Creighton and Conner agree to go out for cooked beef burgers next full moon.

Conner returns home and apologizes to Ma. She smiles and reveals she's not quite as out of touch as he thought. She's raised teenagers before, super powered ones to boot.

Now that he's worked out his emotions it's time to get that homework done!
