Recap
In Tokyo, the citizens run in panic from a giant flying fire-breathing turtle. S.T.R.I.P.E. and Stargirl try to get it out into the harbor but Stargirl attacks prematurely despite S.T.R.I.P.E.'s warning. It fires a blast of flames at it, knocking her back, and S.T.R.I.P.E. calls in Green Lantern. S.T.R.I.P.E. launches an attack to stall it and the monster takes to the air and comes after the heroes. They lure it out to a tanker in the harbor but Stargirl attacks prematurely, dropping it onto the tanker. Supergirl arrives and the gas canisters on the tanker go off, causing the monster to shrink to normal turtle size. The crowd cheer but Stargirl discovers that all of the teenage girls are Supergirl fans from the local Supergirl convention. Green Lantern is unhappy about Stargirl grandstanding but Stargirl is unhappy with being upstaged...Read the full recap
Episode Notes
Working title: "Heart of Stone."
Malcolm McDowell reprises his role as Metallo from Superman. Metallo had a short part in second season’s episode "Hereafter (1)," but was voiced by Corey Burton.
Supergirl bears a new uniform from now on. It is the costume that Bruce Timm intended for her to use in Superman. As of this episode, she also dons this new uniform of her newest comics incarnation.
Bizarro has a big gray gash across his forehead. Bruce Timm has revealed that Bizarro underwent brain surgery, so that now he fully obeys Luthor, which in some way comes full circle with Lex's original intention for him in "Identity Crisis."
The first episode of JLU that Matt Wayne wrote.

Episode Goofs
Where are Green Lantern and S.T.R.I.P.E. when Metallo is after Supergirl? There are no sounds of combat anymore and Supergirl is firing highly-visible blasts. Why did only Stargirl come to her aid?
When Supergirl cuts Metallo’s power source out of his chest, his neck is covered with synthetic skin, which it didn’t have before, and afterwards, it’s gone again.
After being deprived of his battery, Metallo has his right arm extended. When Green Lantern and S.T.R.I.P.E. fly off at the very end, Metallo's arm is lying down.
