Greetings Super friends! Welcome to Superman & Lois & Pals. I’m Henry Bernstein and alongside me is my favorite super pal, Professor Sam Brody. 

Another long hiatus in the books (hopefully the last one) as the Pals are back to talk Episode 12. We open the show talking about Sam's rewatch of Superman IV The Quest For Peace. How did it stack up with Sam's Superman III rewatch? Both Pals are over Lana being mad about "the secret." Is the secret even a big deal? Is Ally the Parasite? Sam and Henry both loved the kids forming their own little Scooby gang and want to see more!

HENRY'S NOTES:

EPISODE  12 - “They Weren’t Just Flowers, They Were Peonies”

S02E12 - “Lies That Bind” 

Directed by:

Writing Credits:

We pick up right where we left off with Clark levitating in front of Lana. Meanwhile, Jordan and Jonathan question whether Lois and Clark are telling them the complete story. Lastly, Natalie tries her best to get Sarah to acknowledge Jordan.

The Lana Stuff - Lana asking the obvious question right off the bat, “How did people not put this together” and Clark having a great response for the age old question - “People see what they want to see.”

“After saving you and Pete that night” - confirmation of Pete Ross’ existence. Also reminiscent of the famous Dan Jurgens’ story from Adventures of Superman #474 about drunk driving.

“Did you ever love me?” I mean yeah in the way that a 14 year old loves his girlfriend aka JORDAN AND SARAH. Sorry, Lana has NO reason to be mad. This is contrived. 

Now she’s mad at Lois? Oh please. I mean I get it, they are lying but it’s too protect everyone. Lol to Lana BREAKING UP with the Kent-Lanes.

The Kids - Finally the boys with Nat IN school…and I guess out of school. What happened to Jon-El’s S shield. 

SUIT!!!!! FINALLY!!!! How do we feel about Nat giving her suit to a boy? Love the kids being a scooby gang searching the caverns. Love that Jordan saved them and that they were all sitting around laughing about it. This is a good team that I wish had come together sooner. It was nice not seeing Nat so crabby. 

Awwwww - Kyle! What a sweet dad, making an open mic night for Sarah. LOVE THIS. Huge babyface turn for this guy. Who actually wrote that song? Didn’t see it in the credits. 

Tal-Rho - Do we trust him? Or do we smell another double cross? I like the idea of redemption because Superman trusts him. 

Does yelling while doing heat vision help? Did it hurt?

Ally - She can siphon powers? Cool action scene. Fun that she’s a god now but like, still what are her motivations?
