Episode 4:
Saskatchewan, 6 years ago. War zone? Meteor shower? Humvee team. Something landed. Morgan Edge says now the resurrection begins.
Football game in the rain. Edge touring. The cheer coach is my wife. Also an employee of your bank. Edge insists they join for dinner. Lois and Chrissy watching. Town votes tomorrow about granting mining rights. Lois' dad sits with her. It's Johnathan's opener. Coach asks for Jordan. Get me that ball. Clark tells Jordan it's just like practice. You can do it. Jordan plowed through to give the running back space to run for the touchdown. Lois' dad asks something you want to tell me?
How could you not tell me? He's t-boning players twice his size. Lois says he doesn't have powers. Her dad says the Kent family needs to be under the radar. They keep arguing until Clark enters. He says we know what we're doing. There are nut jobs that want to kill me all the time. Sam says the military is terrified of you. Escort the transfer from Metropolis prison. Clark isn't throwing away time with his family for a show of good faith. I don't work for you, Sam. Sam's going to stick around this weekend. Get his bag from the car. Maybe it'll be easier if I pitch in.
Jordan the team star at the post game diner party. Johnathan sitting at the bar. Until two teammates get tense with each other.
Edge talks to Lana about the bank at dinner. She thinks she's only helping the shareholders lately. He pours champagne. He wonders why she came back to Smallville where her options were limited. If you want to make a real impact, I can be a resource. I pride myself at making people their best selves.
Lois wrote an article that's savage. She debated a mayor. A woman visits. Your article is in breach of your previous contract. I told you he will crush you. Chrissy is afraid and won't print it.
The player with the broken arm struggles with his cast. His arm shakes! Vibrates too fast! What is happening to me?
**He got the injury in the bonfire incident. Something from the area infected him?
Clark drilling the boys on a play. Then steals the ball. Never celebrate until you reach the goal line. Tosses at Jordan. Oh, well, that's why he plays defense. Johnathan's taking it hard that he sits on the bench. It's not fair to any of the other players, honestly. Lois appeals to Clark for a favor. the assembly. She can't speak out about Edge, so she wants him to. He agrees to be there. She found out Edge is at the mines. Says she can handle it.
Kyle reading the paper. Lana isn't impressed. She thinks Edge is a jerk, too. You didn't think it was awkward, him cornering me? Do you care that I was uncomfortable? I was annoyed. He made me uncomfortable and you didn't even notice. Is that where our marriage is at? He just keeps digging a hole.
Lois arrives at the mine. Lays it out on the table for Edge. Let me tell you how this goes. You sue me, I counter sue, your records get opened, and that's not good for your brand. Why Smallville? Edge asks her the same question. You're past your prime playing a high stakes game with a losing hand. She has one more ace to play. For now, she's done with him unless this creep show has anything to add. Didn't think so.
Coach is being a jerk to the kids again. Picks at broken arm kid. He leaves the locker room and John follows.
General Lane monitoring the prisoner transfer.
Creepy bad guy in the security truck. Society is spoiled rotten. They need a wake-up call. He made a resin in his cell that is about to blow the door.
John in the boys room. Other player in a stall. The arm is vibrating again. Blows the cast off.
Clark hearing things.
Kilgrave issue. Sam calls for Superman at the same time John tells Clark something's wrong.
Kilgrave is picked up by a team come to rescue him.
Kid comes out of the bathroom stall with no cast and Clark asks where it is. Kid says it was bugging him and he took it off. Leaves the room annoyed at John for bringing his dad. Clark hears the General tell him Kilgrave escaped. Clark has to tell John they'll talk later. Got a call.
Sam directing Superman to the location. He lands and looks for Kilgrave. There's a disc left behind. See you soon, big blue.
**Superman's code word on comm is Bishop 6. Wonder if it means something?
**Plenty of small town coaches are great people. Why does this one have to be an asshole?
Metropolis. Superman searching for Kilgrave.
Sam leaving the farm in uniform. I'm sorry for the changes you have to endure. Jordan, you show signs of being special. Your dad is very special. I didn't want you to know that, yet, but here we are. Don't waste his time. When you're dad gets distracted, lives are at stake. Are we clear? Yeah. He leaves. Boys are going to text Sarah for a ride to a party. John worried about Tag.
Lois can't get Clark to the meeting. Chrissy curious. The meeting is one-sided in Edge's favor. Lois leaves a message for Clark again. Lana asks Lois if she's okay. Wanna grab a drink tonight? A girls night out? Vote for Edge rights to mines. Chrissy is the one nay. Motion approved. Lois agrees to meet Lana.
Dresses up in heels. Clark comes in and apologizes. You clench your jaw when you're mad. She doesn't want an excuse. She just wants to go. Even though she knows he was saving lives. But lately with everything, it feels like I'm far down your list of priorities. She feels that way in this moment that she might regret later. Tells him Lana asked her out for a drink and right now I really need one. Leaves in a Lyft.
Kids at the lake house. John joins the boys. Have a beer, it's a party. Sarah and Jordan greeted. Cheerleader misses Sarah.
Superman and Lane. Clark's not taking the bait.
Lois complaining about men. Lana wants shots. Lois says I know the good outweighs the bad. Thinks Kyle adores Lana. Lana says we're going on 16 years of marriage and have our moments. Lois respects his love of Smallville while disagreeing about Edge. Lana says Clark is my oldest friend. We dated in high school until he disappeared to Metropolis. Totally different guy. It was you. You brought out the best in him, Lois, and that's not getting lost in the shuffle. They do a shot.
John still keeping an eye on Tad. Sarah feels for John. Popular kids don't know how to function as outsiders. He looks lost. Whereas she and Jordan.... Jordan likes being on the team. It's good to be good at something. For the first time in a while, I'm happy. Sarah thinks he got lucky with the company he keeps. Should we go save your brother? Jordan suggests 5 minutes.
Tad's arm goes nuts when he cuts his hand. He's shaking a table. Gets roughed up. Tad runs when his arm vibrates again. John goes to check on him.
Superman goes after a hit. Where's Kilgrave? Sonic blast. Kilgrave firing at Superman. His ear is glowing.
Kilgrave obsessed about Superman. You haven't been in Metropolis much. I knew the bigwigs would move me. You're distracted. Vulnerable. A weakling. He keeps shooting at Superman.
John tells Tad, breathe, it's going to be okay. He's vibrating all over. Jordan thinks he did this. When my heat vision blew up the keg. John says they'll ponder that later. We need Dad. Jordan says Dad's saving the world. John, trust me. He grabs Tad and it pauses him. Then he's tossed. John turns on the beacon. Calls for Dad.
Superman fights back when he hears it. Claps the bad guys back, melts the sonic gun, tells the feds to get medical for bystanders. Then races to the kids.
Jordan's out. John crouching with him. Tad's coming closer to the boys until Superman grabs him and takes him up into thinner air. Tad passes out.
Tad with the doctors at DoD. Sam says another material was present. Yellow phosphorescence. Tad will go to a special school for kids with abilities. Clark wants to know why the boys waited so long to call him.
Sam says I may have misspoke. Clark is pissed. Lois yells at her dad to stop it. This is the same toxic honor above all else that you pulled on me as a kid. Your parenting choices suck and still suck. How dare you tells Clark he can't be the father he is? Keep pushing and you won't be welcome here anymore. Sam's going to pack and go.
Kyle cooked for the girls. Lana gets up. Dinosaur pancakes. She's sweet to him this morning. She kisses him.
Jordan gets Lois outside. Clark has a surprise in the barn. Romance. He's in a suit an set up lights and a table and candles and wine. Catching up on date night. May even be a massage in it for ya. He says she deserves to be spoiled. This, my time with you, is what gets me through everything else. First thought of the day, last of the night. I love you. Phone is buzzing. Hey, Sam. He's got a situation in Malawi. You can decide for yourself if you want to get involved. Is Lois there? Clark makes an excuse. Lois tells him to go. I'll be waiting.
Sam looks at the tag from Luthor again. Gets on the phone. Go secure. I have reason to believe we may need to consider a contingency plan. Project 7734.
Edge in the mine. His henchwoman punches through the wall. Kryptonite! Enough to raise an army.
Next ep - Johnathan's struggling. And a man looking for Lois. Wherever Lois Lane goes, Superman follows. He's seen firing a rocket launcher.
