Synopsis
  • The Colonel has decided to exterminate the Kryptonian race, and intends to make Jor-El do it for him. Jor-El, though, refuses to do it, explaining that Krypton is more than just a planet. Rather, it is an ideal, and the destruction of Krypton and its people does not do that ideal justice. As far as he is concerned, the most logical course of action is to die protecting the ideal he hopes to preserve for coming generations. Angrily, the Colonel responds by sentencing Jor-El to execution, preparing to kill him then and there. However, someone intervenes, blasting the colonel to death. Jor-El is surprised to see his old friend, Commander Zod was the one who rescued him from Colonel Ekar. Meanwhile, Lara angrily attacks Jax-Ur, who had given her up to Ekar for death when he realized she disagreed with his ideology. She had thought she loved him, but now she could not. Jor-El has to stop her from killing him, and Jax-Ur is imprisoned with the rest of Ekar's followers. Smugly, Jor-El comments that it is better for Lara to know of Jax-Ur's flaws now than after they were married. This enrages Lara, and she storms off. Sighing, Jor-El admits to himself that the Sensory Harmonic Resonator was a bad idea, and impulsively, he destroys it. By creating it, he had brought the threat of Ekar to Krypton's doorstep, and that was folly. Turning to his old friend, Zod, Jor-El intends to use the ideal of what Krypton truly is to re-imagine what their planet can be.
