Superman & Lois

Previously on Superman & Lois...

Everyone, I need you to step away from your locker.

They are meeting right now

to decide to have you expelled!

You don't love me anymore?

I think that you need to move out.

Dad calling for, like, the hundredth time.

It'd be good for you to just

vent to a friend a little bit.

Aubrey.

Maybe we could be friends again?

Dean's acting like he's

the family values candidate.

- What's wrong? - It's your dad.

You're Superman.

You were supposed to keep him safe.

Forged in Fire.

Strong as steel.

I found Kal-El.

I'm gonna kill him.

I don't want anything to happen to you.

I'm coming right back.

I love you, Dad.

Dad?

Your father's not yet returned from his mission.

What's happening? Hedy?

I'm detecting some sort of temporal anomaly

moving through our galaxy.

It's compromising the integrity of our dimension.

Establish a link to my dad.

He's just left orbit.

The escape pod may not reach him before--

Just do it, please!

- Dad! - Something's wrong.

We're losing connection to your father's ship.

Not lookin' too good, is it?

- It's fine. - Mm.

Might be a scar, though.

Eh, as long as it doesn't take away

from the one on my face.

Yeah, no worries there.

Hey.

Is it okay to come in?

Yeah, of course.

We, uh, brought a change of clothes for the ride home.

Thanks.

I'm so happy you can finally come home, John.

You have no idea, Lois.

Look, all I wanna do is spend time

with my two girls, you know?

Dad...

that's not Mom.

What?

She's still gone.

I know.

I know.

His surgery was over a week ago.

Why is this happening now?

Recovery takes time.

Confusion is normal with his type of brain trauma,

and temporary.

What if these new symptoms are a sign of infection

or nerve or blood vessel damage?

Maybe we could get another brain scan, just to be safe.

I'll put in an order.

We'll find out when he's being discharged,

and, um, I'll be here to take you home--

both of you.

Natalie, he's gonna be fine.

You don't know that.

Girls, let's go!

Have you seen my phone?

It's probably in your bed.

Check between your sheets!

It'll be just a second.

Yeah, I heard.

It's gonna take some time

getting used to this co-parenting thing.

Um...

how's your debate prep comin'?

Good.

Emily's been helping me.

That's great.

If you, uh, you know, if you need

another opinion or something, I--

No, I'm good.

So is...this our new normal?

No, it won't be like this, um, early.

I just thought that maybe we could go get

some breakfast this morning.

Good, I'm starving.

Good luck with your prep.

Natalie blames me for what happened.

Don't beat yourself up, Clark.

You heard the doctor.

John Henry's memory issue is temporary.

Yeah, but she's not wrong.

He got hurt saving me.

She'll come around.

They both need time to heal.

Ugh, I don't want to do this right now.

Neither do I, but we have to know what Jon knows

about those drugs, Clark, or he is never

getting back into that school.

Rochambeau?

Boys! Get down here.

Every time.

Do I need to be here for this too?

Yep, in case you ever get a bright idea

like your brother.

Dad, I already apologized.

Yeah, well, Jon, an apology

is not gonna be enough this time.

We have parents calling us, not wanting you

anywhere near their kids.

And it's not gonna get any better

when they find out football's over.

They canceled the season?

We had to forfeit all the wins.

And since no one's talking about who else was using,

Principal Balcomb decided it was just best to call it.

First time in Smallville history...

because of you.

So, Jon,

whose drugs were those?

I can't tell you.

You mean you won't.

No, Dad. You don't understand--

No, Jon. I don't understand.

I thought my son had a little more integrity than this.

It's your dad.

I'm sure it's about Anderson.

And perfect timing, as always.

Yeah, well, this time it actually is.

Look, I convinced Principal Balcomb

to let you take classes online.

If you do your work,

you hand it in on time,

you won't miss a grade.

But I'm just--I'm just supposed to hang out

- at the house all day? - No.

You're gonna work at Brit & Dunn's starting today.

Be ready in 20 minutes, both of you.

Hey, man.

Why are you doing this?

Just leave it alone.

Well, that is unexpected.

You stopped Kal-El?

He's gone...

for good.

You killed him?

I had no choice.

And the pendant?

It's in my possession.

Both of them.

We can finally ascend.

I need you to tell her-- my other self--

Won ereh emoc.

Mitchell.

Mitchell.

Everything that you said was true.

I saw it all.

- I saw me. - Mm-hmm.

That's how you become the best version of yourself,

by merging with your shadow self.

Did she give you any instructions?

She told me to tell you,

"Come now."

Well, then we should go...

And all become gods.

How long is Dad gonna be like this?

I'm guessing till you tell us where you got those drugs.

Jordan, let's go!

Why does it even matter?

He can barely look at me.

It's like he-- it's like he hates me.

He doesn't hate you.

He's just having a hard time

understanding your behavior--

both of us are.

Go get your brother.

Okay.

Hey, Chrissy.

Ally just called, promising

a once in a lifetime exclusive.

She's sending a car to pick me up.

This is what we've been waiting for.

I'm impressed.

Staying in touch with her paid off.

But are you sure?

This is the woman who--

Drugged me? Yeah. She cray.

But it gave me some sort of weird street cred.

She trusts me.

Chrissy, if at any point you feel uncomfortable--

I know. I'll call you.

Lois, this is our chance to really figure out

what's going on with Ally.

We may not get another one.

- I gotta go. - Be careful.
