Synopsis:
Starman visits S.T.A.R. Labs and submits to tests run by Kitty Faulkner. The tests reveal that Starman's body is not human. Instead he is now a living fusion reactor. After learning the news, Starman leaves the lab and wrestles with the implications on his life. When Jayne makes inquiries into the problem, Will refuses to share the truth with her.

Finally, Starman turns to Glenn Wharton. He confides the truth to Glenn, who tells the hero that it could be much worse. They both go to visit a group of disabled children. While interacting with the children, who look up to him, Starman begins to feel better about his own situation. He then returns home. This time he tells Jayne the truth about his condition.
