Let’s talk about Superman & Lois Season 3, Episode 8

S03E8 - Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner

Directed by:

Gregory Smith

Written By:

Aaron Helbing

The IMDB & Apple TV Recap is: In the wake of learning that Bruno and Peia are married, Clark works to reignite Lois' interest in taking Bruno down; Natalie meets Matteo's parents for the first time, with disastrous consequences; Jordan interferes with Jonathan's training.

Henry's notes:

This episode felt the most like a Superman comic with, a quote from Bamsmackpow “Superman & Lois begins to coalesce its multiple season plots in this episode in a fantastic, organic way, while setting the stage for a classic villain.”

Superman stuff

• Cute that Clark took Chrissy flying
• Damn Peia is fucking scary
• BIZARRO IS AWAKE!

Manheim investigation and Family

• It’s always funny when I see Clark doing human things like texting. 
• Are Matteo and Sarah serious? Like already meeting the parents?
• Interesting twist of Lois defending Bruno. “It reads like gossip to me”
• It’s funny that Lois did a masterclass
• “He’s the leader of Intergang and the biggest weapons dealer in the country.” Wow. He’s kinda like the toastmaster guy in Man of Steel plus Manheim.
• Lois is done. Wow. 
• Lex Luthor Killed Boss Moxie - father of Bruno, leader of Intergang. Superboy Prime killed him in Infinite Crisis 7
• Whoa, Peia’s powers fluctuate when she’s having a reaction
• “Flying is awesome”
• Lois is back after seeing some evidence.
• I love the slow burn of getting Luthor back in
• Little Aces is basically a known mobster hang out
• Oh my god, they pulled guns out with the kids there! Finally we get to see Bruno as a BAD GUY. 
• Onomatopoeia imitated Lex’s voice. 
• Does Manheim have super strength? 
• “I think we put Lex Luthor in prison for a crime he didn’t commit” - WHOA

Cancer stuff

• Oof, Lois is weak. This is a tough watch. Clark had to turn the downstairs office into a bedroom. This is a very real portrayal of what goes on with chemo

Twins, Sarah, Nat, John Henry

• Jordan busting Jonathan’s balls about being a trainee. Cute. The Rookie hazing stuff is weird on the FD, like aren’t firefighters hard to come by? 
• Ooh Jordan got Jonathan in trouble
• Hahahaha Jordan is listening to The Cure!!!!! “Pretty dark for my mom, who is she?!”
• John Henry and his “sister” - starting to make a connection.
• Oh boy, John Henry going nuclear. But he’s kinda right. The phone was a bit much though.

Lana/Sarah/Kyle/Chrissy

• Girls night out Lana/sarah - I love how Lana’s 90’s music taste is a running bit. THE CURE! CD MIX! LOL 
• Did Sarah get a new haircut/color? 
• “I wasn’t using the super stuff and I could hear your heartbeat” - Clark
• Omg is Lana going to go with Sam Lane to the concert?
  • Way off on this one. I really thought she was going to take Chrissy and then Sam
  • If they were just going to have a dance party at home, why not go to the concert?
