They discover the main target was Tyler Mercer, the new CEO of Luthor Corp after his brother, Lex, was convicted of numerous crimes. In a ceremony where he renames the company L-Corp, he is attacked again by John Corben, an assassin. Adam engages him while Clark and Kara stop a building from collapsing. Corben reveals he was working for Lex before he is shot by Tyler. Clark chooses to be a reporter for the Daily Planet, a decision supported by Perry. Clark and Natasha decide to keep their relationship friendly. Winn is formally hired to work at the D.E.O. Meanwhile, J'onn reveals to Adam that he was the one who found the first cluster of Kryptonite and decided to keep it against the wishes of Kara, who wanted to destroy it. At Project Checkmate, the organization's leader revives Corben and begins turning him into a being called Metallo.
2. "The Last Children Of Krypton"- Clark and Kara continue operating together in Metropolis before she decides to return to National City. When they encounter Corben, who has turned into Project Checkmate's prototypical cyborg, his Kryptonite-based powers pose a serious threat. The DEO deduces that there is a mole who smuggled the Kryptonite out. During a subsequent encounter with Corben, another Metallo prototype goes on a rampage in National City without opposition. Adam finds the mole, but he is killed by Checkmate's leader, a scientist who intends to destroy aliens. Winn builds anti-Kryptonite gear for Clark and Kara, who manage to defeat the Metallos with the help of Adam and Robert. Clark promises the Checkmate leader he will find her. Robert entrusts the remaining Kryptonite to Kara, who returns to National City. Meanwhile, Perry introduces Clark to the latter's new boss, Snapper Carr, who does not like him and refuses to give him an assignment. Perry advises him to solve the problem himself and announces that he has decided to leave the Daily Planet, leaving Natasha in charge. Clark manages to prove his value to Snapper, who agrees to teach him. At the DEO, the alien woman regains consciousness and attacks Clark.
3. "Welcome To Earth"- The alien woman escapes the DEO. As President Olivia Marsdin arrives in Metropolis to sign an act giving all aliens amnesty, she is attacked by an unknown alien with the power to shoot fiery energy, believed to be the escapee. Adam encounters police detective Dan Turpin at the crime scene, who takes him to a secret bar hosting aliens. Winn discovers the DEO escapee is from Daxam, Krypton's sister planet. Clark defeats the Daxamite and returns her to ARGUS. He is uncharacteristically hostile towards her, prejudging her intentions because of a long feud between the Kryptonians and Daxamites. The President is attacked again while signing the Alien Amnesty Act; the assailant is revealed to be a man, Scorch, who is defeated by Clark, Adam, and Dan. Clark releases the Daxamite, who introduces herself as Lesla-Lar. He tells him that Daxam's population was annihilated and that Daxam is a wasteland due to Krypton's destruction.

With Dev-Em's encouragement, Tyler completes the matter transporter, which Dev-Em activates, causing Macy to nearly destroy the office with her powers. Afterwards, the DEO discovers Dev-Em and Tyler's involvement and that Macy's father's "attack" was unintentional on his part. Macy leads Natasha and Winn to her father, who is with a large group of Phorians. Dev-Em reactivates the transporter, causing the Phorians to lose control. Natasha manages to calm Macy, who in turn calms the others. Superman, J'onn, and Lesla-Lar attempt to shut down the transporter, but are unsuccessful. Lesla-Lar confronts Dev-Em, but hesitates to kill him. The transporter brings a massive fleet of Daxamite ships to conquer Earth and transform it into "New Daxam". Dev-Em then teleports himself, Lesla-Lar and Tyler to his ship.

Lesla-Lar learns that she has to marry Tyler in order to unite the people of Earth with Daxam.

Clark challenges Dev-Em to Dakkam Ur, a rite in which two leaders duel and the loser concedes the war, accepted by Dev-Em. Maria, Tyler and Winn build a device to disperse lead into the atmosphere. As lead is lethal to Daxamites, it would make the planet uninhabitable to them. With Lesla-Lar's approval, Clark tells the DEO to use it if he loses. During the duel, Dev-Em resumes the invasion. M'gann returns with other benevolent White Martians and J'onn awakens to join the battle. Dev-Em claims the invasion will not stop even if he loses, so Clark launches the device, killing Dev-Em and forcing the fleet to leave. Clark puts Lesla-Lar in a pod and sends her away from Earth. Perry reassumes his position at the Daily Planet and Adam asks Dan to marry him. In deep space, Lesla-Lar's pod is drawn into a wormhole. In flashbacks to Krypton's destruction, an unknown faction sends another infant to Earth in order to cause "doomsday."
