Meanwhile, Jessica and Simon’s sister Sira are having fun at a house party. This is handled in true sitcom fashion as they’re locked in the bathroom until they can work things out. Since Corps Leader John Stewart reminded Simon and Jessica that they have to patrol all of Space Sector 2814 and not just Earth (despite what Hal Jordan told them at the beginning of the series), Simon has to settle things at home with his brother-in-law Nazir. One could argue that it’s no different than a police officer or firefighter forced to work during holidays. It’s unfortunate, but it’s part of the job. His family has not come to grips with the fact that his duty as a Green Lantern will call him off-world from time-to-time, causing him to miss activities at home. We’ve seen this best in characters like Lois Lane and Alfred, who will help out when they can and will always be there to confide in. They may not always agree with it, but they get the need for it. These are the people left behind to hold the fort or deal with the day-to-day life, while their significant other, sibling, or best friend is out saving the world. I’ve always felt that there’s a strange understanding when it comes to loved ones entering super heroics.
The duo then resolves some conflicts in Simon’s personal life that were caused by their recent trip through space. Before enjoying some much needed and well deserved pancakes, they’re called away to deal with an alien threat terrorizing a nearby town. After training the original seven Green Lanterns ten billion years ago, Jessica Cruz and Simon Baz have been pulled back to the present and are finally back on their home turf.
