Synopsis for "It's Crushin' Time"

Power Girl and Crush have inflitrated the Steelworks tower. Normally, Power Girl would have free access to the tower, but now, Crush is with her and Power Girl doesn't want the guards to look at them and get the wrong idea. They enter a room full of discarded electronics and junked devices, not exactly the best working tools, but they will do. Power Girl tries to build a device that will shortcircuit the Czarnians' weapons and minimize the risk of collateral damage while saving the Holliday Girls.

When Power Girl asks Crush about what the Holliday Girls mean to her, Crush replies that they're not friends. They're more like family to her. She even blames herself for their capture and says that she ever since her father, Lobo, abandoned her, she has pushed away the people who were just trying to help her, like her adoptive parents. Power Girl admits that she knows how Crush is feeling right now and that the best they can do for her family is to fight for them. Once the device is ready, they return to the bar the Czarnians are holiding the girls at.

They return to the Czarnians' hiding place and Power Girl tells Crush to keep her distance, for the device only has one charge and if it fails, she will have to go back to the Steelworks tower and build another one, but Crush refuses to stay behind.

Once they reach the bar's entrance, Crush asks the other Czarnians to let her in under the excuse of being alone and wanting to meet other members of her kind. However, it's just a ruse to detonate the device built by Power Girl right at the center of the bar. Once the Czarnians' defenses have been disabled, Power Girl barges in and saves the hostages. Working together, Power Girl and her allies defeat the Czarnians.

The Holliday Girls' bikes have been badly damaged, so Power Girl offers to let the girls stay at her apartment while they bikes get fixed. Omen, who has returned home after the battle with the House of Brainiac, uses her telepathy to discover that the dog that took a liking to Crush belonged to Lobo, who also abandoned him just like he abandoned Crush. Luckily, Crush decides to adopt him, and once the Holliday Girl resume their journeys, he goes along with them.

Meanwhile, Symbio destroys a car and use its parts to stablize his damaged body. He still hasn't recovered from the damage caused by the Czarnians' nanoblaster, so he is doing whatever he can to remain functional. Once the Czarnians have been defeated, he kills them and throws their bodies into the ocean.
