Zor-El has a conversation via hologram with the Kryptonian Science Council, regarding seismic disturbances on Krypton. Jor-El believes that the mining operations in Kandor, which Zor-El oversees, are the cause, but Zor-El blames General Zod's continuing attacks.

In the aftermath of the explosion, Augo lifts debris off Kara and then takes her to safety at her home. The attack is blamed on Zod, who has also bombed several other key areas of Kandor: The Council's military headquarters and the government building among them.

Kara enters the room and confronts Zor-El. Zor-El tries to explain that he isn't an ally of Zod, but is using him as his plan is far larger: He is devoted to Rao's prophecy in which he will go to Earth. Kara tells him that he would sacrifice his own daughter's life, but Zor-El says that she was never in danger and his disciple Augo was watching.

At Kara's home, she and Augo are overlooking the damage caused to Kandor. Kara then begins to believe in her father's plan, and Augo tells her that Zor-El will be a god among men on Earth where they will reign.

Zor-El contacts the Brain InterActive Construct and tells him to override the remote power shutdown of Kandor's control room, and the ignition of Krypton's core re-activates.

Kandor is being bombarded with missiles. Zor-El is changing his bloodied clothes when Kara wakes up with no memory of what happened before. Zor-El tells her that she was hit by a crystal and that she is being sent to Earth to meet her cousin Kal-El. Kara says that the journey is three years and that everything she knows and loves is on Krypton.
