Down on the streets of Metropolis, a smattering of worried people have gathered. They seem relatively calm, given they're seconds away from being turned into pate. Oliver joins them. As they watch, a bad CGI rendering of Clark whooshes overhead. He whooshes up to Apokolips. A few moments later, the giant flaming planet begins to move away from Earth. Omegas flash on the spectators' foreheads, then vanish. Everyone cheers and hugs each other while Oliver beams proudly at the sky. Up in space, Clark gives Apokolips a shove toward some unknown destination. He hovers there for a while against the backdrop of Earth. Except for the CGI version of him, you never really see him in the suit, but it's still kind of a nice shot.

The image of Clark gives way to an illustration in the comic book Chloe is reading to her boy. "And that," she says, "was the day the boy turned into Superman." "Wow," the tyke breathes. Chloe pats his hair, a big honking diamond ring visible on her married finger, and kisses his brow. He asks her to read it again, but it's time for bed now. As she tucks him in, subdued strains of the Superman theme play. Chloe pauses at the door, looks back at her boy as he looks at his toy bow and arrows. He lights up, as does the music. Chloe's raising a future hero.

As Chloe closes the boy's door, she gets a call on her cell. "Did you get it?" she asks by way of answering. "I thought you might need something blue." The scene cuts to Lois, opening a package from Chloe and pulling out a blue ribbon. She asks her cousin for luck, gets it, then hangs up to get back to her busy day at work. Aaron Ashmore, looking like a newsie from the Great Depression, walks up to Lois, camera at his side. He warns her against going into Perry's office. Lois pauses at Perry's door. Although we don't see him, we hear Michael McKean's voice, railing about something "Luthor" has done. This new Jimmy Olsen asks if Lois liked his pictures. She did, but thinks they lacked drama. Where the Man of Steel is concerned, she wants to see "pecs, cape and pearly whites." She walks with Jimmy through the news floor, remembers the other Jimmy that was actually Jimmy's brother. In the background, Perry is shouting, "Great Caesar's ghost!" As Lois scatters to avoid Perry's wrath, she walks by a monitor showing a news clip of Patches the Amnesiac Clone being elected President of the United States. He overcame total baldness, total memory loss, the total lack of an election year and a totally white suit to somehow win the confidence of the American people. I would totally vote for him.
