How can I have the front end suppress the >first two plots? Use the DisplayFunction option. Setting DisplayFunction->Identity suppresses display of the plots. For your specific example Show[ ListPlot[data,DisplayFunction->Identity], Plot[f[x],{x,0,X0},DisplayFunction->Identity], DisplayFunction->$DisplayFunction] will display the one combined plot you are interested in
