In the 13th episode of Superman and Lois, things slow down and we get to see the Kents and Cushings deal with the fallout from Morgan's use of Smallville. It isn't as incredible as the previous episodes but still a great one, it also gives the characters time to reflect and develop as characters. The writing is still on the same level as before, you see again and again how much the writers love the source material. Ian Samoil directed "Fail Safe" and there were some good direction in this episode, but notably really well shot. He have worked on so many shows as a Second Unit Director, it probably were an exciting experience for him to be the director and the passion he has for the work shows.
For a build up episode, this does everything right. There's now two episodes left and this slower paced episode was needed. For a "filler" this episode contains a lot of new locations, and with the beautiful cinematography, it's presented to the screen so well. Visual effects are too great, it's also shot and edited in a smart way. Every main character gets their fair share of screen time and it's never wasted, the scenes serves the overall story and the characters own character arcs. There's also some fantastic acting and drama. An episode you don't want to miss.
