Superman & Lois

Previously on "Superman and Lois"...

I was there the night that that thing came,

and I saw what happened to your dad.

Jordan told me everything about your dad

and who he really is.

Sell me your farm, you get $10 million.

It's a lot of money to turn down.

It's nothing compared to what you sacrificed.

Aidy thinks I'm Superman,

and I'm pretty sure she's not the only one.

When I first started out as Superman in Metropolis,

being a hero was easy.

Excuse me, do you know where Milledge Avenue is?

In a big city like that, I could disappear

at a moment's notice.

And I was just another face in the crowd.

In Smallville, I was just Clark Kent.

Why would anyone suspect otherwise?

But then I died.

And some people saw something, something that

raised questions about me.

Breaking news out of Metropolis this afternoon.

A 1974 Model Helbing 562 twin-engine passenger aircraft

originating from Milwaukee and en route to Atlanta

has blown both engines just after takeoff.

Oh, um, you know what?

I think I... I left my wallet in the car.

I'll be right back.

To keep you up to date on any new developments.

The 50-year-old aircraft was due

to retire next month after failing

- multiple safety inspections. - Hold on there, Brian.

It appears Superman has arrived just in time.

Thanks, Isabel.

Once again, Superman arrives to save the day

and save countless lives.

Found it.

Investigators to the scene to determine what caused this.

You're back already?

I just went to the parking lot.

Right, yes. Yeah, um.

That is $15.46.

You have got to be kidding me.

How did I miss step 27?

Maybe we can help?

Does it look like I need help?

- You're doing great, Mom. - No, you don't need help.

This is supposed to be a nice gift for Chrissy and Kyle.

Oh, everything okay?

- Of course everything's okay. Is everything okay with you?

Yeah, yeah. No, I'm good.

Just making some progress on my list.

You mean your "convince everyone

you're not Superman" list?

Look, too many people are getting suspicious.

We gotta put the genie back in the bottle

before it's too late, so I'm crossing Denise Olowe

off my list, which just leaves Aidy Manning and...

both: Coach Gaines.

Yeah, he's next.

The secret's very important,

so we all have to do whatever it takes.

Well, good luck with that.

We're gonna go see a movie.

Any news on Luthor?

He just went back to his old apartment in Metropolis.

He should be in prison.

Has John Henry gotten Otis to talk?

Not yet, but he says it's just a matter of time.

He better hurry.

The last time Luthor went this quiet,

he created a monster that literally killed you.

Just imagine it.

It has multiple rooms, laundry that doesn't require quarters.

Oh, look at that.

A backyard for family barbecues.

And we can have an actual nursery.

Mm-hmm.

Our baby deserves a nursery, Kyle.

Yeah.

This house is just perfect.

Well, how much does perfect cost?

Oh.

Oh, well, that is...

- Totally out of our budget. I know.

I shouldn't have even been looking at it.

No, no. Hey.

Look, you and I, we... we need a perfect house

because we're about to have a perfect baby.

So if this is the one, then we'll figure out

a way to make it work, okay?

Okay.

Hey, Coach.

Hey, hey, Kent.

You here to accept my job offer?

It's a pretty good salary for an assistant coach.

But a guy like you is worth it.

I'm afraid I have to decline.

Is this about the boys not playing?

Because I'm working on that.

You can stop working on it.

And I didn't entirely appreciate the girls comment.

It's not really a reason someone should play football.

Who said anything about girls?

I simply said that football is a super way to build character,

which your boys are gonna need if they're gonna follow

in their father's footsteps.

Well, frankly, the last time Jonathan was on the team,

he took drugs, so.

I don't think he needed them.

I don't think anybody needs drugs.

- You know what I mean.

I... I'm not sure I do. Um.

Oh, hey, Coach, you're gonna want to watch...

ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!

- Ow? - Ow!

Ow?

Ow!

- Ow? - Ow!

Uh, are you okay, Kent?

I don't know, I think I might have sprained something.

I'm not a doctor. It just hurts. Ow!

Okay, I'm gonna get some ice.

Yeah.

Ow?

We need some ice!

Hey, we need some ice!

What, are you worried you're gonna get hurt?

This is the "Daily Planet"

softball team we're talking about.

It's not some underground fight club.

- Jimmy's right. You should join.

You love baseball.

Yeah, I... I know.

Just, I've never actually played.

Neither has most of the team.

Okay, ignore my sister.

She and your fiancé hang out all the time.

But what about us? Come on.

Can't we be pals?

We already are, aren't we?

Friends hang out outside of work.

What better way to do that than by taking back our trophy

from those pretentious jerks at "The Star"?

- Yeah. - Yeah, what do you say?

You in?

Jimmy, I'm sorry, I'm just... I'm really swamped

with this Intergang story right now.

See? I told you he'd say no.

Always does.

Right. Maybe next time, CK.

You know we don't have any leads on the Intergang story.

I can't join a softball team.

My dad never wanted me to play sports for obvious reasons.

But especially now with Superman,

I can't risk drawing attention to myself.

No matter who you are, you're still allowed to have friends.

I have friends.

Not friends all the way in Smallville.

Friends you can actually hang out with.

It doesn't matter. If I played, I'd be cheating.

Then don't cheat. Be terrible.

It's not about winning.

Be terrible.

Be terrible. Well, not terrible.

I could... oh! Oh, I could bunt!

I could be the bunt guy!

- I love bunts! - Great.

I don't know what that means.

But, yes, you see, you can do it.

Yes, I can do this.

Thanks, babe.

Uh, hey, Jimmy?

Had a thought.

How low are your expectations?

I saw the first one four times.

Now I plan on taking a drink every time

there's a severed limb.

There he is.

The star quarterback.

Dude, I told Gaines I can't play.

Position's yours.

Because that's the only way I could get it, right?

I could never dream of beating you.

Timmy, what's your problem?

My problem is that I worked my ass off for football

while the Wonder Twins here have superpowers.

Wait, you think we have powers?

Do you hear how crazy that sounds?

Always wondered how you were so good as a freshman.

I had to take X-K just to keep up.

But that's because you were super-powered this whole time.

- That's not what happened. - Stop lying.

I know it's true!

- I'm not lying. - Yes, you are.

Why don't you show them who you are?

Get out of my face.

- You ruined my life, Kent. - Get out of my face.

I'm not gonna get out of your face.

Why don't you show them who you are!
