Synopsis:
Clark Kent and Cat Grant take a ski trip out of town. Clark learns that Cat has a young son with movie producer Joseph Morgan. Cat has not seen her son in five years, because Morgan was awarded full custody.

Clark returns to Metropolis and visits Morgan on Cat's behalf in the guise of Superman. At that moment, a member of the Circle known as Concussion attacks. Joseph and Adam are injured in the fight, but they refuse Superman's offer to help. The Man of Steel is forced to call an ambulance for them.

Later, Superman ensures that Concussion is properly restrained for incarceration. Cat visits her son in the hospital and with Joseph's permission is allowed to see him for the first time in years.
