Synopsis:
Supergirl awakens in Smallville Orphanage with no memory of how she got there. Her other memories are muddled as well. She believes that she grew up in Smallville and was raised by the Kents. When she encounters Krypto he notices her odd behavior and leaves. Supergirl then finds several Superboy and Clark Kent robots in the Kent home. They lead her to the cemetery where they pay homage to the anniversary of the Kents death. Supergirl grows more confused.
Next Krypto returns with the real Supergirl in tow. The confused Supergirl is actually a malfunctioning robot programmed incorrectly with Superboy's memories. Supergirl repairs the robot, then greets Superman who arrives to pay his own tribute to the Kents.
