Synopsis for "Bottled Light, Part 2: Brainiac"

John Stewart, Kilowog, and Tomar-Tu try to get through the energy barrier. Guy Gardner fires a direct blast that ends up ricocheting wildly. John and Soranik Natu argue about Sinestro. The people of Xudar who are still attached to Starro spores begin to attack.

On planet Nok, Ganthet and Sayd examine Hal Jordan's ring.

In a cavern, Hal encounters a mysterious person in the dark. He refers to their location as the Emerald Space, then reveals himself to be Abin Sur.

The Green Lanterns and Yellow Lanterns try to contain the Starro spores. Rot Lop Fan detects the wavelength they use to communicate, then successfully jams it. He also discovers that the barrier is not energy, but a material similar to glass. Hearing this, John realizes they have been shrunken and trapped in a bottle.

Ganthet and Sayd sense that Hal's life force is fading, so they contacted White Lantern Kyle Rayner.
