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!
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!
