Synopsis:
Power Girl helps Mister Terrific get the JSA's communications systems up and running again. Meanwhile, Jakeem and Hourman are finding Father's Day a little difficult and both set out to see their fathers. Jakeem has never met his, and asks Johnny Thunderbolt to find him - he is Phil, who is doing a graduate degree in engineering at Ann Arbor. Jakeem wants to tell him of their relationship, but when he discovers Phil has a wife and child, and doesn't know he had a son before, he decides it would be best not to - after all, the JSA is all the home and family he needs now. Hourman, meanwhile, visits his father and has a heart to heart with him, using another few minutes of their last precious hour together. On his return, he and Jakeem go out to watch a movie, discovering a bizarre shared interest in Hong Kong films.
