Plot Overview

A nebulous alien creature seeks to take Superboy's body for its own purpose.

Arc Advancement

Happenings

• An alien creature attempt to take possession of Superboy's body, but he manage to contain it in a air tank and leave it in the freezer of a science lab.

Trivia

The Show

• The alien is watching Superboy catch Lana, which is clearly from "Countdown to Nowhere" (she is wearing the same clothes and he mentions three guys who threw her out of a helicopter), yet when he puts her down, it's new footage. Not only does their exchange imply they know each other, but he doesn't even put her down in the same place. This seems to retcon the events as the character's introduction.

Goofs

• In the closing credits, the last two guest cast names have switched places with their character names.
