His counselor Jose Delgado who is fostering Jerry, provides the teen with an alibi.

Luthor uses the fire as a public relations opportunity by offering to help rehabilitate the gangs. In reality he is recruiting and training them to work for him. Superman stops several of them during a commuter train robbery. Jerry White is present again, but the Man of Steel can't link him to the crimes.

Lois meets Jose for dinner then follows him to a meeting with one of the gangs. Jose tries to convince the kids to give up crime, but he and Lois are attacked. Lois manages to call for help. Superman comes to their aid and rescues Jose from a burning building.
