Here is the synopsis and preview images for this coming Saturday's episode, "Chained Lightning".
Learn the backstory of Lightning Lad and meet his electrifying family in an all-new episode of "Legion of Super Heroes" this Saturday. In the episode, entitled "Chained Lightning," Lightning Lad discovers that his sister, Ayla, long thought to be lost in the same Lightning Beast attack that gave him and his brother, Mekt, their powers, is really alive. However, Ayla is now in the form of pure electromagnetic energy. Lightning Lad must find a way to save Alya before Imperiex can harness this energy for his own diabolical use. Lightning Lad is voiced by Andy Milder ("Weeds"), while James Arnold Taylor ("The Boondocks," "Star Wars: Clone Wars") and Kari Wahlgren ("Ben 10") voice Mekt and Ayla, respectively. Directed by Brandon Vietti and written by Matt Wayne, "Chained Lightning" airs Saturday, October 13 at 11:00 a.m. ET/PT as part of the Kids' WB! Lineup on The CW Network.
SPOILER ALERT: Due to some surprise elements within the episode, additional images will be distributed on Monday morning.
Lightning Lad sustains traumatic injuries in battle and Brainiac 5 must help him through with surgery -- utilizing the unique assistance of Shrinking Violet.
Moments before their lives changed forever, Lightning Lad (left) fears the worst alongside his sister Ayla and brother Mekt.
Imperiex issues an ultimatum to Lightning Lad's brother, Mekt.
Bouncing Boy and Brainiac 5 work in tandem at the controls.

Nice photos! I can't wait to see Salu in a speaking (hopefully) part. Ayla is "pure electromagnetic energy"? ERGayla? I hope not!

Anyone else think Vi'll be making a 'fantastic voyage'-- complete with extreme close-up of her entry through Garth's nostril?

Oh man, I love B5's Brainiac-symbol visors in the first image there. Also, him + lad assistant Vi = threeboot cuteness. Although personally I can't see any reason why she'd have to go inside Lightning Lad - I am seeing more of a nano-technology expert role for her? (And she did have a speaking role last season, I think. Like, two lines before shrinking away in the season finale.)
Also: ERG-Ayla? O_o Well, that's something we haven't seen before - and a convenient excuse for her to be away! Unless it's like the totally awesome living pink lightning form...?
Now I'll be rolling around on the floor, gurgling Mekt's name until Saturday morning, kthnxbai.

The press release above had the wrong date (it listed last Saturday, 10/6) so the press office sent out an apology with the corrected date and a new image.
"Chained Lightning," this Saturday's new episode of Legion of Super Heroes on Kids' WB!, figures to be one of the more character-driven episodes of Season 2.
The episode was written by Matt Wayne, who also wrote two of Season 1's episodes.
"We've got an all-new take on the Ranzz siblings in this episode, one that shakes up Lightning Lad and deepens his mythos," Wayne said. "Longtime fans will either cheer or call for our heads." ....
Kids' WB! has released a new image from "Chained Lightning," which will also include the most prominent appearance by Shrinking Violet (voiced by Kari Wahlgren) to date. "
hmmmm. This makes me kind of nervous.

I hope that the bionic arm isn't permanent. Lightning Lad don't deserve that. If WWWWtRL's formula is right then maybe he'll take up the name Livewire.
A lot of nice homages throughout, especially at the end (no spoilers here!).
Vi is cute, but she sounds like she smokes a couple packs a day. The snort is cute, too, but it got old after about the third time.
