Episode 3:

Superman hovers in space, listening to Earth. Flies through the crowds and he's struggling with the visions again. Falling to Earth. Crashes.

Kent Farm. Clark tells Lois and John that he can't do anything with the visions. Couldn't get near the mines. AmerTech is shut down and DOD is back in charge. John wants to help again. They have no one else. Call Sam.

Johnathan looking at Ryan's social media. Convinced Timmy is juicing. Jordan doesn't know what to say to his girlfriend. Natalie offers a girl's opinion. Johnathan says at least Sarah told you. If you're going to be honest about your powers one day, how do you want her to react?

Lana wants to incentivize graduates to stay in Smallville and old residents to return. Kyle advises her to speak off the cuff a bit more. She's nervous about public speaking. She wants to be instantly seen as a serious alternative to the mayor. Sarah doesn't want a quinceanera. Kyle says she's getting one. It's supposed to be the most special day of her life.

Ally Allston video. Lois watching Inverse Theory. Sam calls her back. He's been fishing on Deer Lake. Paradise. She says she needs to get John Henry in the mines without Anderson finding out.

Jordan talks to Clark about Sarah. He wants to be honest about everything. Clark says no. Because I said so. Lois overhears them. Jordan and Clark argue about telling Sarah and the risks inherent. Jordan insists he wants to marry her one day. Clark says he only told Lois as an adult and Jordan's too young. Clark gets mad and his eyes light up and his voice is thunderous. Lois takes the kids to school instead. Clark's horrified at what came over him.

Clark siting in the house. Lois returns. Is Jordan okay? He didn't talk much on the ride. Clark says he doesn't remember everything that happened. Lois says your reaction was strong. Clark can't handle it today.

Sarah finds Jordan. Jordan says I don't know how to fix this. She says the kiss meant nothing. I want to be with you. I love you. He says it's not about her. He doesn't know where they go from here.

Johnathan's girlfriend tells him about the crystal crap Timmy is taking. Don't tell him I told you.

Lana giving her speech to townsfolk. Are the zero interest loans just for small businesses? Lana is asked about the reverse mortgages. People lost their farms. And you recruited for Morgan Edge. She can't answer a simple question.

Sam gives John clearance. He thinks they need to tell Anderson. John says let me find out exactly what this is, then we can decide from there. Clark thanks Sam.

Lois shows her father about the podcast. She wants Sam to get Lucy to talk to her. Why won't you help me when it comes to Lucy? You still can't pick a side? Lois figures he didn't read her piece. I'll do this without your help like always.

Football practice. Johnathan on the sidelines. He says to Timmy the drugs are the only way you can beat me. The boy says your girl is selling to me. You didn't know. Which one of us is pathetic now? Johnathan tackles him and they fight. Clark gets knocked down trying to break them up.

Clark loses control of his temper and powers again. Tells John to get out of the room. Beams into his hands. Johnathan says we need to go home now!

Johnathan drove the truck home. We need Mom now! Lois tells the boys to go upstairs. Clark, you need to calm down. Clark can't control it. All this anger is not mine. It's not me! That thing is trapped! Sam says it's a national security issue. Lois says until we hear back from John Henry, we don't know what it is. Natalie asks why her dad? Uh oh.

John at the mines.

Lana wants to quit. Kyle says don't let them rattle you. She says stop trying to make me feel better. This town will never see me as someone that can win. She's going to take a hot bath with a lot of bubbles. Keep Sophie from bothering me.

Natalie can't reach her dad. Johnathan tries to help with perspective. They banter until they agree to play Madden in his room.

Lois tells Clark to apologize to the boys. He says my dad never yelled at me like that. It feels like the end of the world. She says not the time to go all doomsday on me. LOL. You're not leaving this house until we hear back from John Henry.

John and the AmerTech woman investigating the mine. Is that blood? What collapsed the X-K? He says it wasn't seismic. He finds a detonation charge. She hits him from behind. And again when he's not immediately unconscious.

Natalie won the game. Clark comes to apologize to the boys. I want to make it up to you both. Johnathan wants to learn to drive. Clark says they'll start next Saturday. Wants to talk to Jordan alone. Clark says if something happened to Sarah because you told her your secret, the guilt would be a hundred times worse. Jordan doesn't think his feelings will change. Clark says give it the year and they'll talk again. But he has an idea to show her he cares.

AmerTech lady talks to someone on the phone. Accelerated timeline.

Sam tells Lois he read the article. I should've paid more attention to Lucy, to both you girls. Easier to focus on work. At home, I felt out of my depth. You girls were my world. You're everything to me. I couldn't bear to do anything to lose that. She says it was really hard to not have him around. He apologizes. He's picking a side now. Lois, you're right, Ally Allston is a bad egg. He called Lucy. She did agree to meet with you. Lois thanks him. He says don't scare her away. Lucy isn't strong like you. She needs a delicate touch.

Sophie's wondering what's for dinner. Sarah finds Lana. Jordan blew me off again. I kissed someone at camp. A girl. I told him. But......I'm not ashamed or embarrassed, but what if he never forgives me. Lana says if that happens, he doesn't deserve you. You've never been afraid to show who you were to the world. It makes me so proud as a mother. You have a strength inside. I don't know where you get it from. Not from me. Lana feels fake in her run for mayor. Feels like she's playing a part. Sarah has an idea.

Lois checks with Clark. He feels like a complete and utter failure. It's terrifying that I might mess them up forever. Especially when I'm not feeling myself. She says kids are resilient. She turned out okay. He teases her. They kiss. He gets a vision, falls, and says it's breaking out. John Henry won't be able to stop it.

Mine. Something is free.

**So, after Crisis, is Lucy not the same as the one we met on Supergirl, even though she'll still be played by Jenna Dewan? Supergirl's Lucy wasn't fragile. She followed her father into the military.

It's like a diver's suit. Soldiers fire at it and bullets bounce off. It keeps walking. Tosses an SUV. Superman lands. They rush each other and clash.

They wake John Henry. It broke out! John tells his AI to send his suit. It's only got a few solar charges remaining.

Superman and the suited being fight. John gets his suit on. Fires at the enemy that's beating on Superman. It hits John and sends him flying, then beats on Superman some more. Part of its face is exposed.  Bizarro! They share a vision, then it flies away.

Clark tells Sam and Lois it was a version of me. John says it's not the Kal-El from my Earth. Sam wants to tell Anderson. Lois says you shouldn't try to stop it on your own. John Henry says he won't have to.

Jordan and Johnathan. Timmy's the starting quarterback. Jordan wants to stay with him. John says go see Sarah.

Natalie staring at the suit. John Henry says I didn't have time to tell you. I'm not sure if normal will ever be part of our lives again. She doesn't want him out again. Until they fix the suit. It's not the way they wanted to do this.

Clark tells Lois she's going to be late to meet Lucy. It's okay to have a little hope. Go. You've got it. She gets in the car.

Lana in the kitchen. Sarah recording her. Lana talks about being a working mom. I want you to elect me because you know me and trust me. So ask me anything. Write in a comment and I'll answer on the spot. People are writing in. Doorbell. Kyle lets Jordan in.

Sarah asks if this is a good talk or a bad talk. Jordan says open this first. A heart locket. It belonged to his grandmother. Grandpa gave it to her back in high school. Jordan loves that she's bold and kind and honest. So you want to stay together? For a really long time.

Johnathan visits his girlfriend. You lied to me. You sold drugs to Timmy. She says I knew you wouldn't understand. She's trying to help her dad pay bills. Johnathan wants her to sell to him.

Lois in the diner. Ally arrives. Lucy isn't coming. She thought it'd be better if I came instead.

Bizarro lands in the frozen waste. His cape is tattered. He wears a necklace that glows.

Next ep - Anderson sends the team after Bizarro.
