EPISODE 10 - It Went By So Fast - "Everything good in my life came from you"
Greetings Super friends! Welcome to Superman & Lois & Pals. I’m Henry Bernstein and alongside me is my favorite super pal, Professor Sam Brody.
Best Superman Finale of all time, mostly because it was an actual Finale. And I think because of that and other things, it’s the best Superman tv series of all time.

EPISODE 9 - To Live And Die Again - “Do you like, need a hug?”
Greetings Super friends! Welcome to Superman & Lois & Pals. I’m Henry Bernstein and alongside me is my favorite super pal, Professor Sam Brody.
Let’s talk about Superman & Lois Season 4, Episode 9 - To Live And Die Again
Written and Directed by:
Jai Jamison
The Apple TV and Imdb description is:
Lois struggles against the fallout of the debate; Clark uses Luthor's tactics against him, while Jonathan and Jordan prepare for an impending battle.
HENRY'S NOTES:
Should we approach this on its own or AS a penultimate series episode or both?
Kinda sad that Otis died off screen, like for the actor and character
I like that there are consequences to Clark thinking he went over the line “stooping to Luthor’s level”
“I do not need your help with this” is the wrong thing to say to your kid at any age.
It’s better that the consequences for Lois is that she can’t get advertisers, not her safety.
“Maybe it’s time we got into his head
Tyler Hoechlin merch! Finally! Can I get some of that?
I love when there’s Superman merch on tv
“Jordan’s loaded curly fries.” “On the kids menu?”
Jordan’s curly fries are amazing and I want them
Love that Jonathan wants to step up.
Gretchen Kelly is already dead off screen.
Superman in Luthor’s office. Inject it into my veins
Superman is carrying himself differently than he was as Clark
He’s getting into Luthor’s head and I love it
“Enjoy your freedom Lex, it’s running out. Nice tie
There does seem to be some history between Superman and Luthor
I appreciate that Lois is pissed but in real life in 2024, she could just start her own podcast or site, or network and would get tons of advertisers.
Clark: “You and me are unstoppable”
Lois Lane has a masterclass, chapter 7, “When you hit a wall, trust your gut and retrace your steps and go back to the beginning”
“You’re such a dork.” “yeah that’s why you love me”
Loooooved the “hey boys we gotta talk” super hearing moment
It’s great how everyone is respectful of Clark and then Clark “gives the people what they want.” - that’s some real Superman shit there.

EPISODE 13: What Kills You Only Makes You Stronger - “It's a little 1991 Wesley Snipes.”
Greetings Super friends! Welcome to Superman & Lois & Pals. I’m Henry Bernstein and alongside me is my favorite super pal, Professor Sam Brody.
Thoughts on My Adventures with Superman?
Nervous about a rumor that next season they’re taking away Superman’s powers cuz they have no budget for high level special effects.
My experience meeting Bitsie Tulloch and Tyler Hoechlin

Directed by:

Written By:
Brent Fletcher and Todd Helbing
The Apple TV Recap is:
All of Smallville comes together to view the meteor shower, Lex Luthor makes his move.
“What will Lex Luthor do next?”
Haha Jordan doesn’t have plans for the summer.
Kyle and Chrissy
Diving right into the pregnancy right away. Never heard of protection in 2023? Anyway, I’m happy for them if they’re happy. Especially cuz we’ll pretty much never see them next season.
Love how happy Lois and Clark are for Chrissy. Very sweet.
Also very sweet that we got a little tv season finale, romantic gesture, proposal.
John Henry and Nat and Lana
I like how Lana was straight up and direct with John Henry about a date. Btw, I didn’t realize this but in a recent backup story in Action Comics it was said that John Henry and Lana are engaged! Cool to see something carry over from the New 52 that was good.
John Henry and Nat could open STEELWORKS! As if that’s something they’ve been talking about all season, which they haven’t but we know about it.
I like how Lana and John Henry were having a pretty heavy conversation to start things off. That seems real for two adults who have past relationships and children etc.

EPISODE 12: Injustice - “What are you gonna do, a podcast or something?”
Greetings Super friends! Welcome to Superman & Lois & Pals. I’m Henry Bernstein and alongside me is my favorite super pal, Professor Sam Brody.
Tons of Superman news, specifically Superman and Lois. The good news is Superman and Lois was renewed for Season 4. The bad news was that it was at a great cost. Kind of like the end of a superhero movie. Only 10 episodes and The Cushings, Irons’ and Sam Lane were all cut from the regular cast.
Sam, what are your thoughts?
In larger Superman news, The Flash movie finally came out. I know a lot of things have been spoiled and I’m not in the business of spoiling things, but I will say there are a lot of Superman treats and easter eggs in it. Is it a good movie? I don’t think so. But I did enjoy myself. The Batman stuff is really fun.
It is a fun theater experience, but since it’s doing so poorly it’ll probably be out on Max soon.

Michael Narducci
The IMDB & Apple TV Recap is:
Lois and Clark clash with Jordan over his carelessness around using his powers in public. And finally, after seventeen years behind bars, Lex Luthor is set to be released from prison.
HENRY's NOTES:
There’s Clark taking away the computer again. Love that he’s washing her hair. So sweet. Injustice is a reference to her losing a part of her body
I love that they’re teeing up Luthor ready to kill Lois and Clark protecting her.
Cool Lex music.The idea of Lex in prison for 20 years is so interesting. Love that he gets a nice soft boiled egg for breakfast. Who’s the pic? Does he have a daughter? Who’s the mom?

S03E11 - Complications-
Directed by:
Jai Jamison

Katie Aldrin, George Kitson (Teleplay)
Brent Fletcher, Todd Helbing (Story)
The IMDB & Apple TV Recap is:
Clark helps Lois prepare for a procedure but must leave the boys with her to help John Henry and Gen. Lane track down the Mannheims; John Henry and Nat butt heads over her desire to help Matteo; Bruno's plans go awry; Peia's condition worsens.
Nice seeing an opening with an action scene and the heroic version of the theme. Especially because the next scene is heavy
I’m glad he told Kyle and Kyle isn’t being weird. “The time I pantsed you in gym class.” Is Kyle overreacting to Chrissy or is it a CW forced conflict thing?
For a second I thought Lana called John Henry “sweetie.”
Mateo and Nat dated for like 10 seconds. Meh.
Sarah’s like, “why are you being like this?” Because he’s always like this Sarah. He’s the moody one. This is some silly CW stuff
“See it’s what they’re known for the wings. The wings”
What did Lois mean when she said to Clark, “you’re enjoying this part way too much” after he took her phone? Is it that she needs help and can’t be on the job? I know it was a loving joke to her husband, I just didn’t get it.
For an episode about Lois’ surgery there’s a lot of teen drama not connected to it.
Ooh I love seeing John Henry and Nat in their suits together
Jordan is having a panic attack in the OR. There’s NO way he should’ve been there to begin with. Btw, a hospital is a good place to have a panic attack, no?
Well I guess if you’re Superboy, no.
Love that Jonathan grounded him. Such good brother shit.
I gotta say, Peia is one of the first really good, scary, new villains in a long time.
A lot of these shows villains are from the C and D list but she's legit scary.
I like how serious Kyle takes the Sarah situation
Wait what happened to Peia? Is she going to explode? Superman needs to take her to outer space. Just do it CLARK!

Let’s talk about Superman & Lois Season 3, Episode 10
S03E10 - Collision Course
Directed by:
Elaine Mongeon
Written By:
Max Cunningham
Max Kronick
The IMDB & Apple TV Recap is:
Lois interviews Peia in the hope of unearthing the truth about an old case; Clarke struggles to spend quality time with the boys; Jonathan and Jordan find themselves at a party where tensions between Sarah and Jordan come to a head.
Show Notes:
Lois' speech. "strength and hope" she gets it.
"The secret wife of Bruno Manheim" classless headline. Trashy. Surprised, Lois approved it.
Lana has aspirations of bigger offices? Kinda like comics? Pete Ross
"Can't you just use AP stuff?" Sam, kyle referenced what you've said multiple times about small town papers
Again, someone in Smallville has powers - you mean SUPERMAN!?
"Your D is weaker than you without super powers" "single player I guess"
Clark is a WRESTLING FAN!!!! They used to go all the time when they lived in Metropolis!
This is such a dick move by the kids. Clark actually bought tickets.
I don't get small towns. How can teenagers have a kegger in broad daylight in a public place? This doesn't seem realistic. Also, maybe because I'm a dad now but I hate seeing underage drinking on tv. Kids watch this show. It's irresponsible showing how "cool it is". Maybe I'm a square but I dunno.
I hate the word cringe but I hate even more when Jordan's awkwardness makes me cringe
Lex Luthor has an aura, like the devil. The only man that scares Peia. Great description.
Is it sexist to think this Governor is an asshole? Or am I supposed to?

Superman/John Henry tension. Very good.
Superman fanfare when he busts in and saves John Henry from Henry Miller.
Really good score. Did you notice it?
Manheim Family
Oooh John Henry taking point over Superman
Peia’s at the DoD so Manheim needs them
Well it answers your question about Matteo and are you crabby about it?
Oh shit, Manheim’s bringing Matteo into it
Cancer stuff

Henry's notes:
This episode felt the most like a Superman comic with, a quote from Bamsmackpow “Superman & Lois begins to coalesce its multiple season plots in this episode in a fantastic, organic way, while setting the stage for a classic villain.”
Superman stuff
Cute that Clark took Chrissy flying
Damn Peia is fucking scary
BIZARRO IS AWAKE!
Manheim investigation and Family
It’s always funny when I see Clark doing human things like texting.
Are Matteo and Sarah serious? Like already meeting the parents?
Interesting twist of Lois defending Bruno. “It reads like gossip to me”
It’s funny that Lois did a masterclass

Writer’s Strike:
Has production finished on S&L? I assume writing has finished?
From TV Line: “By and large, ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox and The CW won’t exhibit any immediate impact from the strike as the regular TV season winds down and already-scripted finales are filmed — albeit without any last-minute tweaks. Among the shows/seasons yet to premiere and those with summertime finale dates, Nancy Drew completed filming its upcoming farewell season in December, Riverdale‘s final-season scripts are all completed, Superman & Lois is wrapped on Season 3, NBC’s The Blacklist wrapped its series finale on May 1, and NBC’s L.A. Fire & Rescue docuseries from Dick Wolf remains on track for its July 7 debut.”

Greetings Super friends! Welcome to Superman & Lois & Pals. I’m Henry Bernstein and alongside me is my favorite super pal, Professor Sam Brody.
Superman’s 85th
Superman’s birthday was last week. Kind of a missed opportunity to have a big episode on the actual publication date.
What does Superman mean to you? Why do you love Superman
My Adventures With Superman teaser
My experience with seeing Superman 1&2 back to back
Notes from the films -
Glen Ford plays it as not only is he having a heart attack but he realizes he's dying. The "oh no" is saying "not now. I thought I had more time. "How long after Pa dies does Clark hear the crystal calling to him? I would've liked at least one more scene with Pa. What is ma telling Clark to remember?
Clark asks the one question you might ask God - Who Am I? What is my purpose? Why am I here?
I never noticed jimmy said " I told you one P"
There's something about 70s NY on film that makes Metropolis feel so important and huge
The double Jeopardy scene is the best first appearance period, the end. It's the perfect rescue to introduce Superman. Plane rescue - He literally saves the President on his first night.
Let’s talk about Superman & Lois Season 3, Episode 6
S03E6 - “Of Sound Mind”
Directed by:
Diana Valentine
Written By:
George Kitson (from what I can tell, not related to Barry Kitson
IMDB & Apple TV: Clark finds himself in uncharted territory; Lois bonds with a new friend; Superman pays Bruno Mannheim a surprise visit; Lana puts Sarah in charge while she's away at a meeting with Chrissy.
Amanda calling Luthor “babe” is so cringe. You know he hates that.
He pronounced it, “Luthor CORE” - I knew it!
Luthor is doing a manipulative power move
Oh yes, I love that they’re using the Fortress VR video game system
Is this supposed to played for comedy?
MANHEIM! YES!
This is a very well acted scene
Manheim has pull in the joint, this meeting has been VERY long
Very good stuff with Cheryl’s back story with Luthor
Manheim with the ultimate babyface turn, “I’m glad Superman’s back”
I’m sorry the computer room is so cliche
Interesting hearing about the power lever of Superman. ANd his sons’ power level. Love that he got a good scene with Lara, they haven’t had a moment like this since she debuted
I need to know more about Milton Fine. Like where is he from? Why does he hate Superman?
“You need to figure out what Jordan and jonathan can’t do and what they can”
This is Lois’s show
Jon: “Do you like, need a hug?”
Oh hell yes, Superboys vs Superman.
So Lex’s endgame is revenge on Smallville?
This is an amazing scene with Lex and Amanda
Lex put on the suit but it’s not green and purple
SHIRT RIP!
So Doomsday has fire breath?
Ohhhh Jordan’s power is his empathy. Looooove.
This is the best Jordan has been all season.
His strength isn’t being sad and mopey, it’s quirky and sweet.
Oh hell yes, Jonathan catching a car like his dad, with his own theme music?
Lex’s inside computer is Purple and Green
INCREDIBLE CLIFFHANGER!

“Guess I’m gonna have to make you wish you weren’t.” This is the Emmanuelle Chriqui I remember ;-)
Lois and Clark
I love that Lois is back. That was a really rough season but powerful. And Clark is just so great. I’m glad there’s at least another season left cuz I’m not ready to say goodbye yet. Love the family vaca in Italy. “It’s been a tough year,” no shit Clark.
I like that the Lane Kents get together for dinner at the diner. It’s cute.
“Oh Dad: One, Jordan: Zero
Ugh Jordan is soooooooo rude to Sarah. I hate that. Little prick. Glad Clark fixed that.
Lex Luthor and his plan
Straight up killing the judge. This is some scary Byrne/Ordway/Stern Luthor shit.
I knew something was up with Sam’s very sexually aggressive hookup.
Well glad Bizarro didn’t eat Otis.
Love love love that they did the actual origin of Doomsday from Hunter/Prey but made it in Metropolis with Luthor. It’s sort of like what Luthor always wanted in the comics: To be the one who made Doomsday. And what a great way to combine Luthor/Bizarro/Doomsday all into one thing. Really creative. Taking things that have been done and finding new ways to do them.
The Way Luthor talks to Bizarro reminds me of how he talked to Doomsday’s dead body in Funeral for a Friend.
Luthor’s a fucking psychopath
Hearing Luthor insult Superman “lap dog in a cape” is just so classic. Cudlitz kinda nailed it in a short period of time.
What did you think of Doomsday’s final form? What did you think of the final battle? I thought kinda better than a lot of final CGI battles in MCU movies. Like as recently as secret invasion.
The look Superman gave Lois right before he took off, was it sort of like, “this is the big one. This might be the last time I see you.” And was that a look he’s given before?
The underwater ice thing was so cool. Throw this fucker into the sun Clark!
Very interesting and stylized way to end it with Soundgarden. It’s a banger that starts off very soft.
It was cool seeing Superman meet his physical match. Like I could see these guys taking each other down right in front of the Daily Planet.
On the moon, very reminiscent of Superman IV.
Incredible cliff hanger

Who’s Janet? Foswell gave the Luthor story to Simone. Who’s Simone?
Love Clark mouthing “no no” haha
Whoa Lex with hair in the flashback? OTIS! Drops wedding ring but has pic of kid.
LOVE Lois’ look with the hat. Looks like the Jenny Frison cover from Lois Lane #1.
Haha Bazoombas makes another appearance. Why has Bazoombas become a thing?
What did you think about all the Alpha Male vs Alpha Male FD thing?
Is Kyle being nice to Jonathan because he knows Clark is Superman?
Sam Lane - I guess in a world where Superman is the only hero then it IS a big deal that there’s another super in Smallville. Yes, they had Kryptonians attack them but another Hero is different. Not sure why.
Why is it Jordan’s fault that Sarah’s having a rough time
What do you think about Luthor shaving his head vs having lost his hair at a young age? To paraphrase a quote from Larry David, those who shave their head to cultivate a look are not part of the bald community. I think a Luthor who has lost his hair all the way at a young age or is losing his hair so shaves it is better than a full thick head of gorgeous hair and shaves it.
Why did Luthor let his ass get kicked? Mind games? False sense of security?
Did you notice that the prison standard issue had the prisoner names on it? Isn’t the whole thing about prison is they dehumanize you by giving you just a number?
So Otis is not Luthor’s henchman but a rival. Cool twist. I like that the Warden is just blatant about being crooked.
So was Superman and Lois’ Luthor one that had hair? Interesting….
Damn this Lex is cold. I kinda love it.
Oooooh Tornado in Smallville! Classic Superman Stuff! My first thought was, “will there be an MOS reference to Pa Kent putting his hand up?”
Superman vs a Tornado is always good. One of the better parts of Superman IV which was deleted. Can you freeze a tornado?! Do you think you can talk inside a tornado?
Haha, who are these idiots standing in front of a window? They’ve obviously seen a tornado before! Kyle and Jonathan just standing there watching?!
Oy Jordan, not good. Doing the whole “I dunno” teenage thing.
What was that little power display with Clark? Was Clark trying to grab Jordan and he used his powers to break away?
Sam giving the advice of “reign him in” - clearly doesn’t understand how teenagers work. I do like how Sam explained the flight path thing. That makes sense.
Dean Jr looks like he’s 45.
Does Jonathan also have a video game system in his room?
Oh my god did Lex Luthor walk from Stryker’s Island to Smallville?!
Oooooh Luthor is SCARY
“What I want is to never have to read your words again”
“But I wasn’t wrong about what you are”
Yeah Clark, stand up to that bully!
“Don’t ever come back” - “Then you’d better retire”
“Tell Superman he’s next”
Ha! Otis is now his henchman
I know head shaving scenes are cool, but well you know how I feel about this. Better shave that beard. Haha I knew his chair would definitely be a person
Who’s Dr. Hook, who’s Orr?
YES LEX AND BIZARRO! The way it should be.
Going with the Horror version of Bizarro. Eating rats and mutilating Otis. Nice.

Poor Sarah, this is some heavy shit, is being a waitress a cure for depression or is it just having a job is stability, responsibility, etc.
Superman saying “It’s ok to let go” is huge. He’s someone who insists on saving everyone so to confront the idea that some people aren’t savable is really a big deal. SAM AGREES AND ALSO THIS WHOLE SEQUENCE WAS A+ STUFF
Yep, Kyle apologized to Chrissy at the end. Typical CW stuff.
I like that the thread of Manheim’s humanity that has been a part of the whole season, had some finality and he didn’t just turn into an all evil villain.
Ohhhh yeah, a big Bizarro battle is coming! They played the reverse theme too!

Oh my god that was a terrifying crash. But I don't like how everyone assumes it's "someone with powers" and not Superman.
Whoa underage DUI. That's super serious.
"I loved hanging out with my mom when I was their age" "that's one of the main reasons I love you"
Clark has a reason to be hurt but obviously he overreacted. Another great example of Clark being "human"
I liked how Jonathan was the voice of reason for Clark and it didn't turn into a bigger thing.
I gotta hand it to them, Peia is a super scary villain. Oy poor Lois!
Good, now Kyle knows. I'm fine with that. I hope it doesn't turn into a thing.
Great episode.

Superman is so good at everything he can even pick out a dress.
Cal Ripkin Rookie card!
Really real conversation happening on national television between Lois and Lana. Wow.
Awww Lois loves Clark. That smile. Wow.
BAZOOMBAS. Dead.
Good little talk with Clark and the boys. Brief but reassuring.
Aw, Lois didn’t win. I love that it was her idea to have the wedding at the farm. Do you notice that flashback-Clark has less of a five o’clock shadow.
“How fast can you get this dress off?” Clark should’ve said, “Faster than a speeding bullet”
Dammit well Tyler made my cry. I think first time this season.
“Do you want to cuddle? May just be cuddling for a while.”
He’s not wearing glasses at home! Yay!
Awww they’re gonna fly together just to fly. I’m crying.I love this show so much, how dare they even think of canceling it.
“I love you Clark. More than ever.”
Twins, Sarah, Nat, John Henry/Lana/Sarah/Kyle/Chrissy
It’s not a big deal that there’s a superhero in town. Again, it literally happened in this series where Superman saved people from a fire.
Of course the twins are keeping a secret from their parents
Haha a night stick that would kill a rhino
It seems kinda vague that good lawyers keep Manheim from an attempted murder charge. Unless we didn't see an arrest and then him getting out.
Does Jonathan like
John Henry referred to his sister as “his sister”
Matteo heard rumors of his dad. HAHA “I love you” HAHAHA
Lana being a good friend is some good shit. More of that. She did that scene with Clark really well.
Sarah and twins are kinda weird just watching Nat constantly.
Hug it out.
Why does John Henry only have a Nightwing stick
Ok there’s literally a supervillain fight in downtown Smallville, a super being save ppl from a fire doesn’t matter!
Home Run John! Ohhhhh shit, John Henry killed Atom Man

“He’s the leader of Intergang and the biggest weapons dealer in the country.” Wow. He’s kinda like the toastmaster guy in Man of Steel plus Manheim.
Lois is done. Wow.
Lex Luthor Killed Boss Moxie - father of Bruno, leader of Intergang. Superboy Prime killed him in Infinite Crisis 7
Whoa, Peia’s powers fluctuate when she’s having a reaction
“Flying is awesome”
Lois is back after seeing some evidence.
I love the slow burn of getting Luthor back in
Little Aces is basically a known mobster hang out
Oh my god, they pulled guns out with the kids there! Finally we get to see Bruno as a BAD GUY.
Onomatopoeia imitated Lex’s voice.
Does Manheim have super strength?
“I think we put Lex Luthor in prison for a crime he didn’t commit” - WHOA
Cancer stuff
Oof, Lois is weak. This is a tough watch. Clark had to turn the downstairs office into a bedroom. This is a very real portrayal of what goes on with chemo
Twins, Sarah, Nat, John Henry
Jordan busting Jonathan’s balls about being a trainee. Cute. The Rookie hazing stuff is weird on the FD, like aren’t firefighters hard to come by?
Ooh Jordan got Jonathan in trouble
Hahahaha Jordan is listening to The Cure!!!!! “Pretty dark for my mom, who is she?!”
John Henry and his “sister” - starting to make a connection.
Oh boy, John Henry going nuclear. But he’s kinda right. The phone was a bit much though.
Lana/Sarah/Kyle/Chrissy
Girls night out Lana/sarah - I love how Lana’s 90’s music taste is a running bit. THE CURE! CD MIX! LOL
Did Sarah get a new haircut/color?
“I wasn’t using the super stuff and I could hear your heartbeat” - Clark
Omg is Lana going to go with Sam Lane to the concert?
Way off on this one. I really thought she was going to take Chrissy and then Sam
If they were just going to have a dance party at home, why not go to the concert?

No Superman in this episode
Manheim Investigation
Ohhhhh, so Mannheim is Peia’s husband. Love that.
So Mannheim and his wife have got a little Romeo and Juliet thing with her being a part of another family.
“Little Aces,” is that supposed to be Ace of Clubs?
Classic Lois, blowing the one friendship she made in service of the story. She ain’t in it to make friends
“I’m questioning her like she’s a part of some conspiracy.” SHE IS. Lois is still the best.
I love the idea that Clark will get to Mannheim by going through a human interest angle. The kind of stuff he writes - features.
Clark: “How far would you go to cure this disease?” Bruno: “You tell me Mr. Kent, how far would you go to save her?”
“Isn’t risking a few lives for a breakthrough that could save millions worth it?” Classic villainy.
Clark reels him like A Few Good Men. Mannheim gave it right away with his anger, and Clark knew that it was personal.
It actually makes Lois and Clark’s investigation better by knowing Peia is Mannheim’s wife
“Now you know the truth. Do what you want with it.” -Mannheim
We need to see Mannheim do something completely dastardly.
OH SHIT PEIA HAD POWERS ALL ALONG! SHE FUCKING MURDERED EVERYONE
I CALLED THAT MATTEO WAS A MANNHEIM!
Cancer stuff
Oh god. Here comes the Lois-is-sick stuff to kick off the episode. I hate this. Although it’s nice seeing Clark not wearing his glasses inside the house for a change.
“Clark’s the best” - Lois
Boys busted at the fortress. Poor kids. Jonathan’s turn to act like a little prick. Clark with the, “do YOU UNDERSTAND ME! DO YOU?!”
Lois proving your point about the new Jonathan looking more like Jordan
Lois is admitting she has no friends is spot on for her character. Have you ever seen Lois with a true friend in her 85 years of existence?
“Clark’s not great on the grill, but he makes a decent burger” - Why is Clark not being good on a grill, a thing?
Haha, they can’t say “Fuck Cancer” on network tv.
Great call from Jonathan that Hope doesn’t cure heart attack, stroke and cancer. That was a good scene
Twins, Sarah, Nat, John Henry
John Henry - “I’m a cool dad”
What’s John Henry being weird about?
I guess I can relate a little bit like when I see one of my kids playing with a really wild kid at school, I’m suspicious.
Nice seeing there’s a line for the local movie theater
“You are perfect” kiss. Cute.
Lana/Sarah/Kyle/Chrissy
Daaaaaamn Sarah that was COLD - “We know you already have.”
“She’s like 10 years younger than dad, it’s gross.” Is it?
Poor Chrissy, Sarah should feel bad.
Haha love that Chrissy brings her own candy. AND WEED GUMMIES.
Haha she goes to Coachella every summer.
I gotta say I kinda love this whole drama with Sarah/Chrissy/Lana/Kyle/John Henry/Nat/Mateo
Where was Kyle in this episode? Got too many lines in the last episode?
“Everyone’s moved on”??? Lana, you’re the one who left Kyle. Not saying you didn’t have a good reason, but you pushed everyone away. And slapped your daughter. Yep, still not over that.
That is some classic small town behavior, lighting fireworks. Not seen since going down to the quarry for a beer bash.

I love the video game that Jordan has to play. Bizarro plus Atomic Skull - double jeopardy for Jordan
Really fun seeing Atomic Skull in action
Jordan, “I can do this all day” ok Cap.
Dumb Jordan/Clark fight. Jordan’s gotta know his role.
“I have Superman to learn from”
Ooooh Onomatopoeia can mimic other people’s voices? Interesting power.
How is Superman resisting Kryptonite???
“Go save your father” He’s wearing his new costume!
That was really intense! How did Superman defeat them? Did Jordan help? Would Superman have defeated them anyway?
I knew Jordan would be Kryptonite-resistant
Manheim Investigation
Nurse: “Mr. Manheim wishes you well in your article”
Patient - “What’s your angle?”
What if this isn’t about Powers, but trying to keep these guys alive.
Cancer patient is talking about Manheim’s accomplishments that helped her and Suicide Slums
Nice misdirection with the cancer patient being Onomatopoeia. Is she Manheim’s sister? Did you see that coming, Sam?
Cancer stuff
Really nice seeing Clark in a support group. Even Superman needs emotional help. “Wasn’t for me” - hmmmmm
Nurse: “Mr. Manheim wishes you well in your article”
Patient - “What’s your angle?”
Estate planning. If they haven’t done life insurance yet, then they’re fucked. No Life Insurance company would take her at this point. Clark is in super denial mode.
This episode is about Clark’s pain, fear and lack of control.
“For the first time I can’t keep you safe. I feel really powerless”
Yep, I’m crying. Thanks Tyler and Bitsie.
I knew the episode would end with Clark coming back to the group. Not mad about it but that was telegraphed. “So that’s why I’m here. To ask for help.” - Clark
Twins, Sarah, Nat, John Henry
“Rusty”
“You look like a guy who made a wish to be a kid again”
Is Clark trying to control Jordan because he can’t control Lois’ Cancer?
Lana/Kyle/Sarah
Is this Sohpie’s first sighting this season?! Where has she been? Juvie?
OMG so awkward with Chrissy and Lana
I like that Chrissy and Kyle are continuing. They’re cute.
Sarah, “you’re chipper, it’s weird.”
No one is paying attention to Sophie. Maybe if she was in more episodes, they’d notice her. They freaking lost her. What the hell?
Boy, between the slapping and the negligence, these two are really parents of the year
Sad, sad Sophie at the abandoned fair. That is bleak. Sophie’s character arc is going away, then when they need a story for the Cushings, they bring her back.
Haha, nice reference to Burger Time.
Kyle and Chrissy going steady, cute.
