Plot Summary:
Clark gets called to the future and is surprise-partied by Brin, who everyone thought was dead, alive and well. Everyone is happy, but Mon is still suspicious that something's afoot since Brin has lost 6 months of memory.
President of Earth shows up to give Brin the Valor-Star award, but when he puts the medal on him, it makes him try to kill the President. Mon and Clark stop him with their capes. Brainy's machine can undo the brainwashing, and then Brin remembers a snippet of being brainwashed but that's it. Clark goes home.
However, the brainwashing was still in effect and Imra notices. She follows Brin, but he sets off the clubhouse self-destruct detonator. Tyr tries to kill Imra, but it just glances off her and hits Brin in the head, shocking him back to normal. Brin stops Tyr while Imra distracts him, then turns off the detonator. Tyr's hand flies off on its own, plotting revenge.
Notes:
The Bates over-narration is coming in full force.
They have a viewing room in which they can look into EVERY chamber of the clubhouse...including personal bedrooms.
