Earl Garver has made a bomb, and planted it somewhere in
Metropolis--and he's not telling where unless he gets over a million
dollars in cash. Superman can't just search for the bomb, as it's
encased in lead, the only substance he can't see through. Superman takes
the risk of allowing the Parasite to "hook up" with Earl to get the
information out of his brain, in exchange for cable TV in his cell at
the jail. As odd as the deal is, they agree and they wheel Parasite, all
strapped down, one hand in a cup-like device, the other strapped down by
a heavy belt.
After he attempts to hook up with Earl, Earl gets inside his head first,
removing him from his body and into Parasites mind. Earl begins to
speak, saying he won't reveal where the bomb is unless he gets the
money. After a false hunt and delivering the money to the destination
where the bomb is located, Superman punches in the command given to him,
deactivating the bomb with few minutes to spare. Parasite then takes
this moment to rise out of the ground, grab a-hold of Superman and drain
him of his powers. After another brilliantly animated fight scene
(although at moments it was almost too jumpy), and the re-activating of
the bomb by Earl, the bomb explodes in the dark, bottomless chasm which
Parasite and Superman fell. Superman is able to get out before the bomb
goes off, with Parasite being blown out. After all is said and done,
Parasite gets his Cable and Rudy is locked up.
Overall, a pretty good episode, seems more of a "filler" episode more
than any other, it was still enjoyable.
