Superman & Lois

Previously on Superman & Lois...

It's very possible

that Morgan Edge is building an army.

We're putting Kryptonian consciousnesses

into people's bodies.

- Your name is? - Natalie Johnson.

- We just moved here from... - A planet

that was totally destroyed by psychopathic Kryptonians.

- Mom! - No. No. No. Nat. Nat.

Oh, no. That's not your mother.

So they're moving here now or--

They're gonna stay at the farm

until they find some place to live.

And our mayor, George Dean...

And all you're doing is covering your ass

so you don't feel the blowback come election time.

Hey, meet a friend of ours, Daniel Hart.

And as you can see,

I've already got the best people working for me.

I'm sorry-- maybe we could try it again

when I'm not feeling really crappy.

She wasn't feeling well.

You sure she was telling the truth?

Who are they?

The DOD is training some of our gifted students.

That crest you put on their suits--it's not yours to give.

America can have more than one Superman.

Wow. How long have you been up?

- A bit. - You made all this?

Yeah.

Are those eggs over-medium or scrambled?

A little bit of both.

Wait, uh-uh. Wait for our guests.

- Oh... - Oh...

Good morning. How'd everybody sleep?

Well, it's, uh, nice to have a real bed at least.

You'll get used to the roosters.

No, you won't.

Well, uh, it was nice of you to lend Nat your room, Jon.

Ah, no worries.

You guys will find a way to pay me back, right?

All right, everybody grab a bite.

Uh, you know, you didn't have to do all this, Lois.

No, happy to. Really.

Um, there's egg and bacon and sausage.

- Sorry, but I'm kind of vegan. - Okay.

I can whip up some oatmeal or slice up some fruit.

I'm not really a big breakfast person, but thanks.

Okay.

Well, then, uh...

I guess you boys should have plenty to--

Dad. Dad.

Dad. Dad.

Clark. Clark.

What was that?

You're having visions?

They started when I saved that sinking sub

and then again during the earthquake.

And you didn't tell me?

You had other things to worry about.

Maybe I should take the kids to school today.

- No, it's okay. I can do it. - Please, no.

You'd be doing me a favor.

It's Nat's first day.

What exactly are you seeing in these visions?

I'm not really sure.

Destruction of some sort, rocks crumbling.

It's like a-- it's like a cave-in.

That's it?

In this last one, I heard screaming.

Did it sound like a planet being destroyed?

You mean Krypton?

Think these could be residual memories from Zod?

If they are, we have a major problem.

You're not the only one who had Kryptonian consciousness

put inside them.

- Jordan. - He's fine.

Yeah, for now.

We have to figure out what's causing it

in case it starts to affect him, too.

There's only one person that would know for sure.

- Hey, hon? - Yeah?

People are gonna be here soon.

So let's just set up quickly

so all Daniel needs to worry about

is greeting folks at the door.

- I'm all over it, boss. - Thanks.

What are people doing here already?

Vicky, promised me the restaurant all morning.

Getting out of your hair, Lana.

We paid for this time, George.

And it's all yours.

No harm, no foul, hmm?

You know, this is the first time in years

- that I haven't run unopposed. - Mm-hmm. I'm well aware.

Well, looking forward to a little friendly competition.

Ain't gonna be nothing friendly about it.

Have a good day.

I can't wait for Daniel to crush that smug bastard.

Yeah.

Yo, better conserve your strength for the weight room.

Says the guy that can barely curl a patty melt.

Well, that's why I switched up

my whole regimen, Kent.

Now it's my time to shine.

You're gross.

Hey, uh, Sarah.

Hey, uh, I was wondering if you want to go to lunch?

Yeah.

Great.

Great.

Yeah.

So, French--pretty cool.

You could be trilingual.

Yeah, that's-- that's the hope.

- Hey, Natalie. - Hey.

Hey.

Uh, so this is my girlfriend, Sarah.

Nice to meet you. I'm Natalie.

Hi. So your dads are, like, old Metropolis buddies?

Uh, yeah, something like that.

Uh, she's gonna be staying with us at the farm

until her dad can find a job here in town.

Oh, that's cool.

Hey, do either of you guys know

where the east wing basement is?

- You mean shop class? - Yeah, it's my fifth period.

Oh, the new girl takes shop class.

Hey, you won't have any problem fitting in here.

Not so sure about that.

This town is full of motorheads.

In fact, Sarah's dad just got her an old muscle car

so they can fix it up, right?

Really? What kind?

'78 Firebird, I think. I mean, it's a total junker.

He can't even get the engine to start.

- No, it's easy. - Tell that to my dad.

He's tried changing the ignition switch,

the starter, and the battery.

Well, it's probably a clogged fuel filter, then.

Just have him try something like this.

Okay, so here's the pump.

And that's when you knew something was off.

I knew what she wrote in that exposé--

it wasn't what really happened.

I know. I know, I already called Amertek

and told them we were running late for our interview.

What's wrong?

Lois, you remember that piece you wrote

about the self-help guru Ally Allston?

That was years ago.

It's back in the news again

because of this podcast that just came out.

What's it about?

Journalists who abused their power

for personal reasons.

Ally Allston's a cult leader

who was responsible for a woman's death.

- She was never convicted. - But she was responsible.

This podcast says you coerced some of your sources.

Come on, that is clearly untrue.

I'm just asking.

Everyone was vetted and willing.

I did everything by the book.

But you don't always.

Chrissy, in the first line in that article,

I disclosed that I had a personal connection,

that a family member had been involved in the cult.

And whenever something has to do with your family,

you have a different set of rules.

This is different from my dad and the DOD.

Look, I know this seems big. I get attacked all the time.

It'll blow over, I promise.

Okay.

Do you have that seismology report?

We're late enough.

Well, well, the favored son.

Hello, brother.

To what do I owe the honor?

I need to know something about the eradication process.

Oh.

Did someone acquire an interest in Kryptonian science?

A new hobby, perhaps?

When a consciousness is rejected by its host,

can there be lingering effects?

Such as?

Flashes of pain, feelings not your own, visions.

Sounds like a bad trip to me.

What have you been up to this summer, Kal?

Just answer the question.

No need to be testy.

I've not experienced any memories other than my own,

and I'm fairly certain I had more Kryptonians

inside my head than anyone.

What about your son

or the other yokels in Smallville?

Of course, there is one way to know for sure.

Take me to my fortress and let me run some tests.

I knew this was a waste of time.

Well, what are you afraid of--that I'll fly off?
