Synopsis for "House of Brainiac, Part 6: Finale"

Lex and Lena fight Brainiac 13 inside the hive mind, while the Superman Family and Lobo fight the Brainiac alters and his brainwashed family members in the real world. The Luthors manage to get through the defences and reach the core of Brainiac's hive mind. Luthor says he will directly connect with it and delete all of Brainiac's knowledge, rendering him powerless. Lena says that he will be overwhelmed by Brainiac's Twelfth Level Intelligence and asks him to let her do it, as she has a better chance of withstanding it, but he refuses.

Luthor successfully begins erasing Brainiac's intelligence, causing the alters to collapse and breaking his control over his family. Lena wakes up and disconnects herself and Lex from the system. As the ship begins to implode the Superman Family evacuate, with Lobo miniaturising the bottled cities further for easy transport. Brainiac's family abandon him to his fate and Brainiac, becoming dumber by the second, is unable to handle the sudden wave of emotions hitting him. He begs Superman to save what remains of Colu and Superman agrees. Brainiac promises to follow him to safety, but instead he drags the Brainiac Queen to an escape pod and launches her into space as the ship explodes, seemingly killing him. The Superman Family and Doxes escape on Bad Blood's spacehogs, with Superman carrying the city of Colu.

Lobo hands over the bottled cities to the Dox family, who restore them to full size and create a new planet named Colu 2.0 from them. He returns to Earth to meet up with Superman and asks if there's any trace of Brainiac or the Queen. Superman says there isn't and tells Lobo he's sorry about what happened to his people, but Lobo shrugs it off. He fist-bumps Superman and jets back off into space. Superman reunites with Lois on the roof of the Daily Planet, but before they can do anything, Lena runs out from the fire escape with Lex in tow. She tells Superman that they have an emergency but Superman says whatever it is can wait. He tells Lex that he has finally proven he really has become a better person and that he is proud of him. Superman holds out his hand to shake but Lex doesn't take it and asks "Who is Lex Luthor?"

In Hell, Doomsday repeatedly punches the wall over the gate to Earth, which finally cracks.
