Synopsis:
Linda Danvers leaves Stanhope for the weekend and meet Joaquin Jarl, a man who claims that he is her husband. Joaquin knows that she is Supergirl and has several items to prove his story. He believes that a recent exposure to Kryptonite has caused Supergirl to forget him.

Joaquin tells Supergirl that he is actually from the planet Zhonnia, which Supergirl visited a year earlier. After rescuing a young couple, Supergirl met Joaquin and they fell in love.

When guests arrive for an anniversary party, including Thal, one of the young lovers Supergirl had rescued on Zhonnia, the Girl of Steel exposes Joaquin's secret. Her alleged husband is really Veena, Thal's ex-girlfriend in disguise. After meeting Supergirl, Thal ignored Veena and the couple split up. In order to win him back Veena disguised herself as Joaquin and used the identity to convince Thal that Supergirl was married. Supergirl had known all along that Joaquin's story was false and that he was really a she.

Supergirl then helps Veena and Thal get back together, and the couple is soon married on their home planet.
