"Fear Times Four": Supergirl confers with her parents, who confirm to her that she was only hallucinating when she thought her secret identity was revealed. The Gang forces John Ostrander to take them to the theater where he auditioned and accidentally left their pay envelope. While there, Ms. Mesmer is shot in the arm by a guard. Supergirl, fighting off Ms. Mesmer's spell, shows up to battle the Gang, captures all but Brains, and gets Ms. Mesmer to release her from her hypnotic spell in return for a trip to the hospital.

"Brain Drain": Jimmy's precognition is caused by a side-effect of Brainstorm's influence on him, and he is captured by some of Brainstorm's gang, who hope to force him to use it to their advantage. But the power has already worn off, and Lois tries to rescue him.
