Gloria joins the Kent family as Clark Kent's sister. Superboy tries to help her discover her powers, but she doesn't appear to have any. Superboy decides to fake her powers to let her down easy, but it makes Lana Lang suspicious. Superboy then tells Gloria the truth about her lost powers, believing they were removed permanently by Kryptonite.

Later, Superboy investigates the note further. He discovers that the note was actually sent in his rocket. Wind blew the note to sea where Gloria found it. Superboy then returns Gloria to her father. She believes her experience in Smallville was only a dream. Superboy also helps locate her real parents.
