Synopsis:
Astronaut Hank Henshaw has been transformed into pure energy and is now able to inhabit electronics. However, this new energy form causes blackouts along the east coast. Superman investigate and finds Hank at NASA, where his wife remains catatonic. Once Hank realizes that his presence is causing more harm than good, he transfers his consciousness into space. Superman follows Hank to a lab floating in orbit where the Man of Steel placed it years earlier. The lab contains the birthing chamber which carried baby Kal-El to Earth. Henshaw uses the materials found within to construct a spaceship to maintain his consciousness and leave the solar system.

Superman takes the birthing chamber back to his Fortress. He leaves a journal entry, then returns to Smallville where he is expecting to meet Lois. When she doesn't arrive, Clark assumes that Lois has stood him up.
