Brainy uses his mind palace to look back at some of Jimmy’s memories. They trigger lots of hurt between his sister and him. They each vent to Alex and Brainy separately. Meanwhile, Kara works to figure out the connection with Sebastian. She heads to see Lena. She tells her how she plans to expose Lex and take him down. She asks if L-Corp has done business with Ameriteck. Lena is too busy working with Jimmy.
Lena is hurt that Kara hasn’t been around. On the other side of the city Nia patrols the night. She finds several aliens staying together with children. Suddenly Lockwood’s men come in to take them away. Nia fights them off but it isn’t over, just for tonight. She heads home to tell Kara. The people feel hopeless and Nia doesn’t know what to do. Kara feels hopeless as to how she could help. Kara comes up with an idea – she will introduce the world to Dreamer in an article.
Brainy works through his Jimmy’s dream with him. He recalls his father’s funeral and being bullied for money. Brainy begs him to work through the sad memory. He asks Jimmy’s sister to weather to her brother and help him through. She agrees. She enters his memory. He begs to get out. She consoles him while his dream plays out. He was trapped in the funeral home basement, he was never trapped at the diner. He misses the funeral because of that not because he left her behind. He told the diner story so many times he believed it himself. He cries and apologizes. She tells him it’s okay and encourages him to fight back. He does.
Kara has her story on Nia ready to interview her as the dreamer. Meanwhile, Brainy reports back to Lena that Jimmy is good now. She is happy.

Jimmy comes out of nowhere and takes on Lockwood, telling him to get out. They leave angry, threatening to find Dreamer.
