During the experiment, it caused former aggressive inmates to retain a peaceful attitude except for Steve Lomeli due to his regular peaceful attitude being the goal of the experiment. However, not being mentally affected by the experiment caused Lomeli to experience tremendous physical pain.

Only to find him being shot by Eve Tessmacher. Luthor then knocked Eve unconscious, later telling William that Kara is safe in order to protect her identity when William asked the question. As Leviathan attacks, Luthor, William and Eve fled, sending the Kryptosuit to the location.[10]
Fled back to Luthor Corp HQ, Luthor was informed that the Obsidian Worldwide Unity Festival was the beginning of the end.

During the process, Acrata attacked with a Kryptonite shard and Luthor was able to identify her as Andrea. Luthor successfully convince Andrea to dissuade her from hurting Kara.[10]
As Eve Tessmacher reunited with her mother, Luthor talked to Kara about her attitude over the last few months and agreed to work with each other against Lex Luthor.[10]
