Superman & Lois

Previously on "Superman & Lois"...

I'm really glad that you and Mr. Irons are

spending time together... you deserve it.

I think that you should go study abroad.

Really?

The armor has been infused with

kryptonite-laced screws to explode

that old man's heart of his.

We're partners. You can't just...

I am in control!

Not you!

Are you ready to die for me one more time?

He found that monster.

He's going to unleash that thing

on everyone here.

I love all of you.

Clark?

I always will...

It couldn't have been easy.

I just don't wanna be like my parents

and say no to this kind of opportunity.

It was a miracle they let me

go away for college at Stanhope.

And the program's for the whole semester?

Whole year.

I don't know how Kyle and I are gonna pay for it,

but we'll figure something out.

How are you feeling about Sarah being out of the country?

Nervous.

Scared.

But also, I'm excited for her.

She gets to do the thing I never did, travel the world.

It's still gonna be hard, you know,

not seeing your daughter every day.

It's always hard not seeing the people you care about.

Best of three?

You know I would spend more time with you if I could.

I know.

But I think we should be honest with each other.

I mean, we've gone on, what, four dates in how many months?

Too many.

Maybe it's just not meant to be.

What was that?

Yo, everybody get out of here.

- It's back. - No, no.

Stay here. OK?

Where... where are you going?

That thing killed Clark last time.

I'm not gonna let that happen again.

John!

Find cover!

Take cover!

Do you see what you did?

This was never part of the plan!

There was only one plan!

To hurt me and my family.

- I tried stopping him. He wouldn't listen.

Because you thought you could fix Lex Luthor.

There's no fixing that psychopath.

I told you this is exactly what would happen,

and now everyone in this town is in danger.

Which is why they should leave.

- What are you doing here? - Just trying to help.

No. You're not ready to fight that thing.

How are you gonna stop it?

- I'll find a way. - Dad!

This is not up for debate.

Just keep everyone safe.

John?

John?

It's OK.

It's OK.

I'm just a little shaken up.

Your side.

I must have fallen on something.

- It's fine. - No...

- I'm fine. - It doesn't look fine.

Look, I need to get back to my garage.

There has to be something that I can help.

Then I'm coming with you.

No, Lana.

I am the mayor of Smallville.

I am not hiding.

Not this time.

OK.

Come on.

- Where's your father? - He took off with that thing.

- You have to help him. - We tried.

He won't let us.

What the...

Boys!

Clark!

Clark, please get up!

- Help him. - But Dad said that...

Forget what he said. That thing's about to kill him.

Both: Fraternals.

Come and get me.

Or me.

How close are you to finishing the war suit?

I'm nowhere near.

Are you sure you're OK?

Yeah, it's fine.

Is there anything else?

Everything is at the DOD.

Except for the prototype Nat and I have been working on.

What's it do?

It attaches to anything metal or kryptonite nearby.

And then?

Boom.

How many of these do you have?

This is it.

You're only gonna get one shot at this.

What are you gonna use?

Something that makes a bigger boom.

Clark.

Clark, please.

You have to wake up.

Please.

Clark.

What?

I know where to go.

It took off after the boys.

I told them to stay away.

I told them to save their father.

Lois!

It was gonna kill you, Clark.

I'm their father.

I have to keep them safe.

And how do you plan on doing that if you're dead?

The boys do not live in a bubble anymore.

They live in the real world with real threats.

They're not ready.

Alone, sure.

But they have each other, and they have you.

And that's gonna have to be enough.

It is time you finally accept you can't do this

on your own anymore.

He doesn't have to.

We have an idea.

Boys.

Lure that thing to Main Street.

When you get to me, split off.

Let's go!

Now!

Nice work.

Is it dead?

For now.

Won't it just come back stronger?

Not if I get it to the sun first.

You're taking it to the sun?

It doesn't heal from the sun like I do.

The sun will make it weak.

What if it wakes up

before you get there?

This is gonna work.

We need to hurry.

Once Luthor realizes that thing is gone,

he's gonna come after us.

All of us.

That's a lot of people.

Even for Luthor.

Yeah, but he doesn't leave loose ends.

Like Amanda McCoy.

Who?

The ice queen that works for him...

she knows everything about Luthor.

If she turns on him...

you need to find Amanda and bring her here.

Now we show the world who Luthor really is.

What?

I expect loyalty, Amanda.
