Reeling from failure, Jordan begins to spiral; Jonathan discovers newfound strength; Gen. Lane recruits John Henry and Natalie Irons, before making a choice that will change everything.

• I CAN’T SEE THE SHOW IT’S TOO DARK! Make TV Turn Up Brightness Again!
• “Can you ever truly explain how much a person meant to you?” The opening montage with Lois’ monologue is almost too much to handle. They are really laying it on thick. Is that a funeral? Did they bury him or are they just talking in front of a tree?
• I don’t understand the conversation Sam is having with the other DOD agent. Is she a superior? Or is he ordering her around?
• Oooh flashback! Omg I loooooove that Clark is awkwardly telling Sam the secret lol. “Superman - I’m me, we’re the same person” Haha the slo mo glasses reveal. I have to say, he does look and seem different! Very reminiscent of Reeve in that famous scene from STM in Lois’ apt!
• Great seeing John Henry and Nat!
• What a scoop for the Smallville Gazette!
• I actually really like that Jonathan is mad at Jordan and needs some space. This is real brother shit. Especially with twins. “You were never trying to save dad, you were trying to be a hero and now he’s dad, my dad is dead and I never get to see him again.” This was great acting. JONATHAN HAS POWERS!!! FUCK YES!!!!
• “Can’t believe he’s flying already” - me too Lois, me too. 
• They call freeze breath, “ice breath,” what do you think about that?
• Lois calls this bad timing, but I think it’s GREAT timing. The more stable brother got powers. Let’s fucking go.
• They are doing a great job with keeping Tyler in the mix with these flashbacks. “We don’t get to sign up for the friends and family program.” This is great showing us these conversations between Sam and Clark because we’ve earned these flashbacks from what we went through with Sam in the first season and then seeing him come around and then now seeing that version of him again, seems like a familiar reminder.
• What’s Doomsday eating? Lex: “The difference is I like him” That’s messed up lol
• Wow I love Jonathan cutting up fruit and smelling it! I don’t think I’ve ever thought about that particular power being intense for Superman. “Your father hated limburger cheese”
• Do you feel it’s realistic that Jordan still plays video games? I feel like if I had powers I would fly to every place in the world I’ve always wanted to see. Instead of a racing game I would actually race. 
• “G’afternoon Superboy” lol
• Ohhhh F, Lois chose Jonathan. Damn. Didn’t see that coming. 
• All this backdoor politics in the DOD is boring to me. 
• MARTHA!!!!!!! “Clark you’re gonna be a great husband and a terrific father” Love that she has the signature bun too
• Lois: “don’t you ever say that to me again, EVER. “Lex Luthor is using you to hurt me”
• Who is “Jones?!” J’onn J’onez?
• jesust how many times is Sam Lane going to almost die. Super-Sam let’s GO! Did NOT see this coming. “Suit up John.” Oh yeah they’re both suiting up! Double STEEL. 
• Lois in a Wedding Dress! She looks beautiful, I’m crying. “You fell in love with Clark Kent but you’re marrying Superman.” 
• “Ok Pumpkin, I trust you. But I see how much you love him….you have my blessing.” That actually is a huge revelation that they got the blessing.
• You called Superman with a human heart!!!!
• Great character arc for Sam Lane. I love that he got to be the hero saving Lois, the kids and Superman. “He’s gonna come back, I’ll be there too for every beat”
• Ah so the funeral was for Sam, not Superman. Nice twist. What was the significance of the matching shirts the boys were wearing? Update - the shirts were gifts from Sam for their fishing trip. This is long term story telling.
