Krypton S01E08 "Savage Night" Recap

Seg and the rest of his team learn that Brainiac goes into a sort of deep trance by draining life force from the Genesis Chamber which contains all the future embryos of the people's planet. They decide that this is their best chance to attack him since there's no other time they know of where he could potentially be vulnerable. Lyta determines that she needs to go find Dev, whom she left for dead, since he was neurally connected to Brainiac.

Brainiac informs Daron that once he has gotten what he wants from Candor, he will leave and Daron will be free to rule and have the power he so desperately wants.

Lyta returns to where she had left Dev for dead and discovers that he is still alive. He begs her to help him before collapsing in the snow. Seg and Nyssa help her load Dev back into their ship, all the while being watched by a hooded figure. They then bring Dev back to be tended to by Val at the Fortress of Solitude.

Zod brings Jayna to meet Jax-Ur, the leader of Black Zero, whom they need to agree to help so they can successfully execute their plan against Brainiac. They tell her about the threat Brainiac poses and she agrees to help them gain access to the Genesis Chamber but in exchange she wants Daron delivered to her. When Nyssa learns of this, even she agrees that this is what needs to be done.

Kem refuses to let Adam near Zod or Seg so Adam decides to get himself captured by guards in order to be brought before Daron to warn him of the impending attack that is being planned against Brainiac. In exchange for this information, he only wants Seg delivered to him so he can transport him out of Candor safely before it is taken.

Val is able to free Dev from Brainiac's control and hack the Sagitari network after patching up his injured arm. Zod tells Jayna more about the origins of Superman and how the yellow sun was what gave him his super abilities. Zod also shares how he was able to survive the destruction of the planet because Jor-El had put him in the Phantom Zone as punishment for attempting a coup.

Daron tries to warn the Voice of Rao in the Genesis Chamber about the impending attack. Seg and his team have infiltrated the building and fight their way past the guards. Jayna is able to inflict a mortal injury to the Voice of Rao but Brainiac remains unharmed and escapes in the Voice's damaged body. Daron is turned over to Jax-Ur, who agrees to let Zod keep using Black Zero until he can confirm that the Voice of Rao is dead.

Jayna speaks to Seg about what Zod has told him and how she suspects that Zod wants to conquer Krypton.

Brainiac sends Ona to Seg as a suicide bomb, but Adam manages to save Seg and Kem using his Zeta Beam device. Adam is then teleported to an unknown location where a mysterious woman stands eerily motionless until only her eyes move to look at him.

Krypton airs on Wednesdays on Syfy at 10/9c.
