Synopsis for "End of Games"
After the first two "games", Superman is exhausted and barely able to stand but still defiant, to the point that he offers the Gorathian leader Grunhar one last chance to surrender. As Lois and Jimmy have both snuck away into the ship, Grunhar's assistant Goor asks for volunteers to be Superman's new seconds from the alien spectators, and to his amazement every single one jumps at the chance. Goor selects a Thanagarian named Tamar Nal and a Khund named Koma as Superman's new seconds. They accompany Superman to an arena hovering above Tokyo where he will face Grunhar's champion- a powerful Daxamite gladiator named Hux-Ur.
The rules of the final game are simple: the first one to leave the ring loses. The two mighty combatants charge each other and at first it seems like Hux-Ur has thrown Superman out of the ring, but he grabs onto the edge. He and Hux-Ur battle, shattering the arena with the force of their blows. Meanwhile inside the ship, Lois and Jimmy find the bottled city of Kandor, and Luthor tells Jimmy how to modify the watch to release a high-frequency tone that will shatter the bottle.
As Hux-Ur has a chunk of Kryptonite, Superman weakens through the fight. Superman sees the Kryptonite and Hux-Ur, who was forced to carry it by Grunhar, tosses it away. Superman charges at Hux-Ur, repeatedly striking him across the head and face, driving him back until he leaves the ring. Having won the games, he reveals that Grunhar cheated, meaning that all the results are void and the worlds of the alliance are free. As Superman has the Kandorians backing him up, Grunhar has no choice but to withdraw.
They return to Earth, where Superman arrests the developer who was trying to shut down the Siegel Youth Centre for fraud, as he has no legal ownership to the building. He returns to the Centre to play basketball with the kids.

Synopsis for "Lois & Clark: In Love. At Work., Finale"
Lois and Clark meet on the roof of the Daily Planet and honestly discuss what has been going on since she reassigned him, each admitting that they didn't fully appreciate the other's point of view or handle things as well as they could have. Lois offers Clark his beat back, but he says he is happy to stay on human interest for the time being. She tells him that he is good at it because, unlike other veteran reporters, his work hasn't made him jaded.
