Synopsis | On Krypton, a mother tells her daughter a story. The Queen of Fables enters the Daily Planet, and forces Perry White to sell the Daily Planet to her. Clark enters, and the Queen tells him that Lois is in danger from a young man that she exploited. That young man, Willis, has kidnapped Lois, and wants her to attend his "prom" with her. The Queen blackmails Clark into entering her realm by biting an apple. He finds himself on some version of Krypton, and is given a task of retrieving the Queen's shawl from the tower to be set free. He fights a snagriff, a Striped River Witch, and Chandelier Warriors, retrieving the shawl and giving it to the Queen. He tells her that he is just a man in love, and she returns him to the Planet. Meanwhile, Willis gives Lois a prom dress to wear, and makes her wear it. Back on Krypton, the mother's husband confronts her about telling stories to the daughter, but she insists that it's for the better of Krypton, and is revealed to be the Queen. |
