Superboy and Psionic Lad hold off the hunting party, which retreats when Simon arrives. Back at the Kent farm, Psionic Lad tells Simon and Conner how he comes from the future, from an underground resistance to an oppressive ruler called The Hunter. When his comrades were slain, young Psionic Lad headed to the past to seek out training from Superboy. Before settling in at the Kent farm, however, Simon suggests Psionic Lad use his abilities to help them find out what happened to Mr. Gilliam, which produces some results. Later, while Superboy meets with Lori, Psionic Lad reports on his progress.
