WARNING: If you don't want to know what happened in this episode, don't read this photo recap!
We're in the Outlands, and it's snowing! Surprise surprise. Seg is having flashbacks of Lyta, and Brainiac keeps showing up and killing the mood. If they're going to kill General Zod, they're going to need to ration their energy. Especially in this place.

Meanwhile, up on Wegthor, the rebels have followed through with their plan. They've smoked out the Sagitari at Top Site. But one of them, Kem, wakes up, and is in for a rude awakening.
446413
Seg and Adam make it to Kandor. They split up, and Seg beelines it for Lyta. Then this happens. It's been a long time.
446414
Jax and Val are congratulating the troops on a job well done. But it's not over yet. They used up the short-range oxygenators on the last mission, but they still have the long-range ones that would enable them to get to the space elevator and take Wegthor.
446415
That's when Adam Zeta Beams in. Nice timing, bro!
446416
On Wegthor, Adam expresses his doubts, concerns, fears to Val. In short, he has a feeling dump all over the guy. He's nervous that all his fiddling with the fabric of time has mucked up the universe (after all, he saw the future, and it don't look so good). Val says that may be, but they've got problems in the here and now to take care of. One step at a time, Strange.
446417
After their reunion (we'll leave that up to your imagination...), Lyta gives Seg his child to hold. She calls it "their" son. But he knows the truth: it's his and Nyssa's child.
446418
That's when General Zod enters, and corrects a misconception: Lyta wasn't talking about Cor-Vex. She was talking about him, General Zod, child of Lyta and... Seg.
446419
After hashing out some hard feelings, General Zod shows Seg his hobby horse: the new Kandor. But Seg warns him against going too far: he's seen a future that is boring and harsh. Maybe they can work together?
446420
On Wegthor, Adam runs in to Kem, who's tied up. Adam thinks he can use him for the next mission, so he talks to by Jax and Val about springing Kem free momentarily to pull off the plan.
446421
While getting his mind checked out for possible traces of Brainiac, Seg sees Raika. She's had her marbles scrambled by Lyta, so she's in freak out mode. Seg uses his status to request to escort Raika back to a brain station to get her mind back in order.
446422
Nyssa brings some news to Val's attention: she intercepted a message to Jax about her plans to blow up the station as a last ditch attempt to keep Zod out of Wegthor. This concerns Val.
446424
It's true, too. Jax is working on a bomb which she gives to her henchwoman Araame. It's a explosive meant to blow up all the Sagitari. It's very sensitive stuff.
446425
After a failed attempt to unscramble Raika's mind, Seg gets the idea to rifle through the knocked-out technician's mind for clues. What he finds is haunting: General Zod gave the order to brainwash (and torture) Lyta until she became pliant to his will.
446426
General Zod enters, and he flips the tables, and puts Seg in the hot seat. And starts to scramble his brain.
446427
In the underground tunnels, Kem uses his former Sagitari status to deactivate a forcefield leading to the delivery elevator. Little does he know he's leading them all to their deaths. No good deed, right?
446428
Seg goes ham on his guards trying to scramble his brain, and it's only after that he knows how he did it: Brainiac is still, somehow, inside him.
446429
And just as the rebels rush the delivery elevator floor, their oxygenators run out, and they all suffocate. This was all part of General Zod's long game.
446430
When Jax sends Araame the message to detonate the bomb, she tries: but it's a dud. Why's that?
446431
Because Val sent Nyssa out into the desert with the codex bomb, so that it wouldn't detonate. Surprise, surprise.
446432
Adam tries to use the Zeta Beam to beam past the elevator doors. Just then, the Sagitari descend... Lyta leading them. They're there to finish the war.
