Superman senses something in the mines, he flies out o the location but experiences another episode which causes him to go flying impacting a grassy landscape. Clark expresses this to Lois and Iron in the barn. Iron orders for Clark to call Sam. Jordan discusses his worries about Sarah to Jonathan with being interrupted by Nat joining in the conversation. Kyle and Lana are having some big plans for the future of Smallville with Kyle leaving. Lois gets a call from her dad asking him about the mines. Jordan expresses telling Sarah that his dad is Superman, stuff like wanting to marry her, but Clark refuses to let out a demonic scream. Lois decides to drop them off for School. Dang. Later, the two have a brief discussion about him.
In school, Sarah stumbles upon Jordan for a bit explaining that "the kiss" isn't some big deal, but Jordan shuts himself up before telling her about the truth walking away. Lana calls for a gathering in the diner. Clark and Lois meet up with General Lane and Iron about the mines with Clark leaving. Lois shows her dad a podcast that is spreading misinformation which can spread harmful lies, but the two argue. Lois makes it up that she'll do this alone. Another round of Football occurs. Jonathan pushes a fellow punching him because of some stuff about drugs. Hell. Clark gets punched by Jonathan, Clark immediately brings him to a building lashing out at him.
The two arrive at the Kent Farm with the two walking in. Lois orders the boys to go upstairs, confronting Clark. Clark explains that something Krypontstion is affecting him. Kyle and Lana arrive back home from the gathering that was ruined by a fellow pushing Lana's buttons. Lois tells Clark that he should apologize to the boys. Clark expresses his concerns about all of this. Lois tells Clark that he won't be leaving out of the house until Henry comes back. Speaking about Henry, he is roaming around the mines with a woman discovering blood on X-K, but is betrayed by the woman.
Clark apologizes to the boys, orders Jonathan to go, and discuss with Jordan. The woman sets off detonation devices. In the RV, General Lane discusses with Lois Lucy and Ally. Sarah expresses her worries about Jordan that she kissed a girl at camp to Lana. Sarah brings Lana in which she has an idea. Lois has another brief talk with Clark in which Clark is having another episode telling her it's breaking out. A mysterious figure stands in the mines with soldiers surrounding and firing at it, but it's bulletproof.
It lifts a car throwing it until Superman arrives! John is informed that it escaped the mine ordering his battle armor to join in the fight. Yeah, that's not Doomsday. Bizzaro? It escapes in the air. The team relocated to the Kent House. So, it might be a doppelgänger, but not the Superman that is from John's World. Nat expresses her concern to her dad. Lois farewells Clark to meet up with her sister.
Sarah records a video of Lana in her kitchen being asked questions and answering them. Jordan walks in with Kyle's permission to see Sarah showing her a case that contains his grandmother's jewelry to apologize which in fact, works. Jonathan meets up with Candice. Lois meets with Not-Lucy. The mysterious figure arrives at the Fortress of Solitude revealing itself to be BIZZARO. Jesus Christ, I never thought I would ever see Bizzaro in live-action again.
Thoughts?
Finally, some action! Tons of character development like General Lane isn't what he was in Season 1, but has grown softer rather than having that serious harsh tone, Lois getting it all together, and the stuff with Jordan. I will always keep on saying this and never stop - the characters feel so real with having problems and more exploration within their character.
More interesting story set-up, brilliant dialogue + writing, better pacing than the last episode, great performances all around, good subverting of expectations about the villain reveal like I thought we were going to see Doomsday since we got hints that references him in some manner, plus the cinematography is killing it! John and Nat are still adapting to their new life which is still interesting. Nat is getting along with the boys well. The pep talk with Clark between his sons was well done, shocking moments where Clark lashes out at his sons and you just wonder what is exactly causing this?
I do have four problems with this episode is that the first 20 minutes were eh, but it manages to be better than that later on + the subplot with Lana being the Mayor was uninteresting and barely has to do anything with the main storyline. But it was charming having a mother & daughter moment, and what a way seeing the problem between Jordan and Sarah concluded.
What I mean is, they still love each other, BUT the cheating context is yikes like the choice of whether you should forgive someone that was cheating on you. Still, it's a horrible thing to do. I am not an expert about all of this romantic relationship stuff- yeah, I don't even know. It's icky. The final thing is the subplot of Jonathan doesn't grab my attention.
"You got to be freakin' kidding me. Freakin' joke. Look at this. Ryan just, uh... posted another freshmen thirst trap."
8-9/10.
