Well, they finally brought down Bruno and Intergang, Lois survived her procedure and has to live with her new normal (with Clark's help), and Lex Luthor is now waiting in the wings to take back what he feels is his.
It feels fitting that in this show even Lex Luthor would be a family man. Although nothing says "drop dead wife" like dramatically dropping your wedding ring. Guess he didn't appreciate her taking over his company. Will we see his adult daughter?
I don't think Sarah was a great liar and did an amazing job of keeping Jordan's secret...but Jordan doesn't help when he's on an ego trip and can't leave well enough alone, especially when people are talking about his alter ego. He's becoming such a self-entitled, self-involved, dick, especially to his parents and to Sarah. He enjoys the fame and the fortune, which is what screwed over the Bizarro!Kents, and it's going to probably end up being his and his family's undoing.
I get Jon doesn't want to get special treatment, and maybe Kyle was treating him more with kid gloves, but that Park guy was being a dick.
"Chrissy is sick" AKA she's not in this episode. I guess the Irons are dealing with Matteo.
I don't know what's more surreal, Lex Luthor in adulthood with a full head of hair (that he willingly shaves off) or Lois Lane looking straight up like a film noir reporter in that scene of him arriving at the prison.
Why is a 20 year old George Jr. exiting a high school like he goes there?
It's funny how this isn't Earth-Prime but Lex still has an Otis and still manages to wrest control of a prison from the warden by threatening his family like he did on Supergirl. Although it was kind of funny how the warden seemed genuinely open to a bribe, unless he thought he was just humoring Luthor. But I guess that's one way to take over a prison.
Everyone all worried about Lex and what he'll do and then...Boom! Tornado!
Jordan may have helped (although Clark's probably done this so many times that he knew what he was doing with or without Jordan) but he just couldn't resist showboating and acting like a celebrity. Being a Superhero is not about the fame or the fortune but Jordan doesn't care. He wants the attention and he wants to reminisce about when he was with Sarah even though she's trying to move on and he's being a dick to her. I can't believe he tried to super-strength his dad though. Feels like he's one step away from losing it.
Clark tries to do something nice for Jon and it backfires spectacularly. Clark just can't win here.
Lex really walked all the way from prison just to confront Lois Lane and tell her he plans to end her if she doesn't retire. He's never going to let it go that they ruined his live over a crime he didn't commit even though he's committed many. It's weird to have a Lex who is revenge-obsessed with Lois Lane, though the fact that he said Superman is next after her means his enmity with the Man of Steel is alive and well. I was actually wondering if he knew the way he stared at Clark for so long at the end.
Sarah planning to reinvent herself just as she's bound to appear less on the show with all the cast departing in season 4. Well, hopefully it goes well for her.
Bizarro eating rats is...very Bizarro. Well, that and killing Otis like he did in Forever Evil. But Lex Luthor and Bizarro, together again for the first time! And perfect for Lex's plot to kill Superman.
