Lois explains to Lydia how to best go on record without making herself a target.

At The Daily Planet, Perry gets a call from Lois who fills him in on the existence of the memo. It's now her job to get hold of it. Elsewhere, Renee finishes counting the money that was exchanged.

The Kiss of Death towers over a bleeding Renee Montoya. Before The Kiss can end Renee's life, Jessica Midnight attacks from behind.

The mask is activated, which sparks memories for The Kiss. She and Renee share a history. Realizing what she's done, The Kiss begs Midnight to help save Montoya's life. Fortunately, Jessica has the power to help, but it requires a sacrifice. She borrows a knife from The Kiss and prepares to stab her hand as part of a ritual. Before the blade makes contact with Midnight's hand, The Kiss places her hand in the way, sacrificing herself for Montoya. Some time passes and Renee awakens. Lois manages to make contact with Jessica and is relieved to hear that Montoya is alive. Several hours later, Lois and Sister Clarice regroup with Jessica and Renee. It turns out that when The Kiss was stabbed by the blade during the ritual to save Montoya, it broke a spell that had been placed on her.

"Enemy of the People" - Part Twelve
Writer: Greg Rucka
Artist: Mike Perkins
The news networks are running non-stop coverage of the first few parts of Lois' exposé. Typing furiously, Lois works to complete the last few installments. Her phone begins to ring, which goes unnoticed until Jessica Midnight answers the call. On the other end is Renee, who is currently in Chechnya with Elicia, pinned down by enemy fire. The two were sent there to retrieve information vital to Lois' work, but things went sideways. Renee runs off as Elicia provides cover fire. She returns in an enormous vehicle, allowing the two to make an escape. Once they're out of harm's way, they share a kiss. At the Daily Planet, the bullpen is a cacophony of voices as the staff work to handle the fallout from Lois' exposé. As she emerges from the elevator, the room falls silent. Lois makes her way to Perry's office and hands him a physical copy of the next installment. White promptly begins to read the piece. Lois informs him that the fifth and final segment should be finished by Wednesday. If it all checks out, they should be set to print by the following Sunday. Clark and Lois leave the office and go for a quick flight. When Lois is dropped off, she finds Renee waiting for her in the hotel room. The two discuss the necessity of truth and how sometimes, the truth isn't always easy to deal with. With the story fully out, it's business as usual in the political world as politicians and governments vehemently deny the accusations, pushing their spin to save face and avoid accountability. Larry Shaw surrendered himself to police and faces charges of conspiracy to commit murder, murder in the first degree, and attempted murder. Lois and Sister Clarice prepare to appear in an interview for national television. During the interview, they reveal the existence of parallel universes and fractured realities. Sister Clarice then brings up The Unity Project, which is designed to assist people affected by fractured identities and help them mentally heal. Elsewhere and presumably later, Alejandra - the hotel housekeeper wrongfully imprisoned by ICE - is released from custody. Lois, Superman, Renee, and Elicia look on with delight as Alejandra is reunited with her family.
