Superman & Lois

- Previously on "Superman & Lois"...

Your mom wanted us to move to Smallville.

It's a simpler life.

- What does Morgan Edge want with Smallville?

- He's retrofitting the coal mines.

- He's gonna put a lot of folks back to work around here.

- That ship brought me to Earth.

I had certain powers.

- You're saying you're Superman?

- That's my girlfriend! - Back off!

- I felt something come over me.

You can't see through lead.

The only remnants of your real home are kryptonite.

- I'll start the upgrades to your armor right away,

Captain Luthor.

- What can you say about leaving a place you loved?

All the memories.

All the experiences.

It can be heartbreaking...

Until the excitement takes over...

Because you soon realize

you get to make new memories...

Have new experiences...

- I just need the wrench. Thanks for the help, boys.

And best of all...

Fall in love all over again.

The playbook never arrived?

- It should have been here when we moved in.

I don't know how I'm supposed to know the plays.

Whatever.

- You want me to call Coach Gaines?

No, no, it's fine.

- I only got two of the AP classes I wanted,

and they put me in Spanish instead of French.

- I haven't even looked at my schedule yet.

- Yeah, I'm sure it's just as crappy as mine.

- We actually wanted to talk to you about school, anyway.

- We have some concerns with you going right now.

Isn't that why we moved here?

- No, we came here so that your father

and I would be around more

and we'd have more time to spend together as a family.

And to live in a safer place

for me to teach you about your powers

and the reason you have them.

- Well, what do I need to learn?

I'm a little stronger. So what?

You're a lot stronger,

and you've had an ocular release of energy.

A what?

- Is that seriously what it's called?

- It doesn't matter what it's called.

He almost hurt a bunch of kids.

It was an accident.

I don't even know how it happened.

That's exactly our point.

- So I'm just not gonna go to school?

- Until we know how to keep it from happening again, yes.

- Why can't I just have one of those beeper things

Mom has in case something goes wrong?

- An ELT is not the solution, Jordan.

You know what?

I thought coming here would be a chance to start over,

but I guess I'm just gonna be a freak like always.

It feels like home already.

I need to talk to Eliza.

- I told Jordan that I would be there for him,

but I don't even know what he needs right now.

He just needs his dad.

You're really swimming around

in that head of yours lately, huh?

That stranger in the war suit really got to you, didn't he?

- He seemed to know a lot about Superman.

What if he knows about us, the boys, where we live?

- My dad's working on it. He'll find him.

And in the meantime,

let's just focus on what we came here for:

family.

Open it, now.

Where is it? - Where is what?

- The kryptonite! - Kryptonite?

Where is it?

- I haven't had any for a long time.

I swear to God. I can't get it anymore!

- I take it you were unable to secure

the necessary kryptonite, Captain Luthor.

We need to keep looking.

I understand, Captain,

but your suit's running low on power.

- Then we'll take the ship. - It's barely operable.

I don't care.

We need to stop Kal-El

before he does to this world what he did to mine.

You know what?

I just realized something. - Yeah?

- I think this is gonna be the first time

I've ever gone to school without you.

- Yeah, it is. It's kind of weird.

- No phone today. - Okay.

- Hey, try to keep an open mind, all right?

- Okay. - I love you.

- Love you too. - We gotta go.

Bye, babe.

- Remember, if anybody asks, he's sick.

- Why do we need these big winter jackets?

Are we flying somewhere?

- Kind of have to. Hold on, okay?

Whoo!

- How come he gets to go flying with Dad

and I have to go to school?

At least we have the radio.

- Hey, you confused already? - Oh, hey.

Uh, hey, um, yeah, yeah, actually, I'm a little lost.

World history, portable three? - Oh, it's outside.

I'll show you. - Okay.

No Jordan today?

Um, he's not feeling so good.

- Oh. - Whoa.

Sean--

- Heard you Kent brothers were moving here.

Come on, this is not--

- You're supposed to be what? Some kind of star quarterback?

- I'm all right. - Too bad.

We already got a QB. - How mature.

- And we'll see how you do with our offense.

Some people think it's tough to learn,

especially if you somehow never got the playbook.

Tell your brother I said hi.

- It's outside, to the left. Sorry.

Thanks.

Why'd you take us here?

I definitely should have worn better shoes.

What is this place?

- After my father died, I felt pretty lost.

I had a lot of questions about who I was,

why I could do the things I could do.

So I came here, found my answers.

Maybe this place can help you the same way it helped me.

- That's the thing from the ship.

It's a sunstone crystal.

Think of it as a computer drive

that contains the entire history of Krypton.

- So you brought me to an igloo in the North Pole

to read about Krypton?

Not "read" exactly.

It's more like "experience."

Your family history

begins in Krypton's second-largest city,

Kryptonopolis.

- Hey, Lois. - Hey, Lana, Kyle.

- How's everyone doing? - You know, um, adjusting.

- Look, if you need anything, please don't hesitate to call.

You know what?

You should all come tomorrow

for a barbecue.

Yeah, it's one less meal to worry about.

Yeah, great.

- You're writing something about Morgan Edge?

- He's not as great as you think he is, Kyle.

- Well, he's bringing jobs to Smallville,

so that's good enough for me.

- Kyle. - Mr. Mayor.

- All set for tonight? - Yes, sir.

- Big night for us. - Yeah, we're good to go.

Excuse me.

Big night?

- Oh, uh, there's a city council meeting tonight.

So tomorrow, say 7:00?

- Great, yeah. We'll bring bubbles.

Okay, great.

- And hope was starting to wane.

The planet's natural resources were reaching exhaustion.

As the people discovered Krypton's fate,

peace devolved into war,

accelerating the planet's ruin.
