Synopsis for "A Mote in God's Eye"
In New Genesis, Takion and Beautiful Dreamer discuss about wether they should or should not have a romantic relationship. Takion, as a blind man who gained sight very recently, can't trust his emotions, feeling as if he is "blinded" by Dreamer's beauty, one of the very few women he saw in his life. Suddenly, they feel a cosmic disturbance in the universe.
Elsewhere, Metron and Desaad encounter one of the Promethean Giants that escaped from the Source Wall. Metron speaks with the colossus, called Prodigian, and asks about his imprisonment in the Promethean Galaxy, expecting to learn how to rescue Darkseid from the Source. Prodigian is curious about it as well, calling his "brief imprisonment" more than an inconvenience. Suddenly, a hooded giant appears before the two gods, claiming to have a similar mission.
Back in New Genesis, Takion and Dreamer stop feeling the cosmic disturbance. Takion wants to leave their previous conversation aside, but Dreamer does something for him: since Takion wants to abandon his godly abilities and be human again, Dreamer uses her powers to temporarily grant him his wish.
Meanwhile, the inhabitants of the planet Vendaricar notice the absence of the four Promethean Giants they worship as their gods.

Synopsis for "Final Exam"
Still grieving Claudia's death, Illuthin decides to avenger her killer and follows Kanto 13 back to Apokolips.

He shows himself in front of Kanto and evades the brute's attacks, who is unaware that Iluthin poisoned his water before their fight. Kanto 13 drops to the floor in pain and Darkseid walks in to witness the fight. Instead of saving his lackey, Darkseid strikes Kanto 13 with his Omega Beams and appoints Iluthin as his new master assassin, taking the name of Kanto.
