1. Previously on
Superman & Lois...
Copy !req
2. Your mom wanted us
to move to Smallville.
Copy !req
3. This family needs Smallville.
Copy !req
4. About a year ago,
I took a bunch of my mom's pills.
Copy !req
5. She made a really big drama out of it.
Copy !req
6. Lots of therapy.
Copy !req
7. Hey! That's my girlfriend!
Copy !req
8. Girlfriend?
Copy !req
9. It is an article I am working on
about Morgan Edge.
Copy !req
10. He's not here to save Smallville.
Copy !req
11. Edge changed my story.
I can't let him do this.
Copy !req
12. That is the best writing I have done
since you took over.
Copy !req
13. I already quit.
Copy !req
14. When can you start?
Copy !req
15. So I can go to school?
Copy !req
16. We have to keep an eye on your powers.
Copy !req
17. The photo-nucleic effect
appears to be insignificant.
Copy !req
18. But he will never be like you, Kal-El.
Copy !req
19. Does this have too much blue in it?
Copy !req
20. I still like the Huntsman's Tribute.
Copy !req
21. Dad, I'm pretty sure
that's just slang for poop.
Copy !req
22. - Hey.
- Jonathan.
Copy !req
23. Don't be gross. Also, he's not wrong.
Copy !req
24. Mom, can we just pick something?
Copy !req
25. Sweetie, this is an important decision.
Copy !req
26. We're finally putting
our own stamp on this house.
Copy !req
27. If you make up your mind.
Copy !req
28. What about this color?
You like this color?
Copy !req
29. Yeah, it's fine.
Copy !req
30. - Yeah?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
31. Someone is just asking
for the Huntsman's Tribute.
Copy !req
32. Anything but Dad's color.
Copy !req
33. Oh, come on.
Copy !req
34. - You really wanna do this?
- No super tricks, all right?
Copy !req
35. Come on.
Copy !req
36. Come on. You can do better than that.
Copy !req
37. Okay. That's it. That's it.
Copy !req
38. Clark? Clark?
Copy !req
39. Guess there is no reason to hide it
now that you both know he's Superman.
Copy !req
40. Wait. So you can hear
every sound in the world at once?
Copy !req
41. It's more like I hear
all the fluctuations taking place
Copy !req
42. in the collective sonic frequency.
Copy !req
43. That makes zero sense to me.
Copy !req
44. So how do you tell between, like,
Copy !req
45. someone in trouble
and someone shouting for a taxi?
Copy !req
46. Well, it took lots of years
of training at the Fortress,
Copy !req
47. but that's where I learned to hone in on
certain sounds, like people in distress.
Copy !req
48. Wait. De for real, though.
Copy !req
49. What's the most embarrassing thing
you've ever heard?
Copy !req
50. Nope. Not appropriate.
Copy !req
51. Be honest. Was there nudity involved?
Copy !req
52. - Maybe when you guys are older.
- Oh!
Copy !req
53. - Come on.
- What?
Copy !req
54. - Come on.
- Another time. Another time.
Copy !req
55. You know, I would've much rather had
super hearing than crazy-ass laser eyes.
Copy !req
56. Hey, let's just stick with calling it
heat vision for now, okay?
Copy !req
57. - Mm-hmm.
- And don't be so sure.
Copy !req
58. Every power comes with its own burden.
Copy !req
59. - And responsibilities.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
60. - You mean rules.
- Which are meant to protect you.
Copy !req
61. Yeah. Don't use my powers,
don't draw attention to myself.
Copy !req
62. Oh. Don't feed him after midnight.
Copy !req
63. Hey, it's important that we don't draw
unnecessary attention to our family.
Copy !req
64. If anyone ever found out the truth
about me, it would change everything.
Copy !req
65. It's not like we're worried
you two are gonna post it on Facebook.
Copy !req
66. I mean, yeah, we're not soccer moms.
Copy !req
67. My point is you need to be
mindful of your actions.
Copy !req
68. It's the small things
that will raise suspicion.
Copy !req
69. Look, when I was your age,
my dad was really strict,
Copy !req
70. and at the time, it seemed unfair.
Copy !req
71. But now, I realize
it gave me a normal life.
Copy !req
72. And that's what I want
for the two of you.
Copy !req
73. Yeah. If by normal you mean
we're cast out like lepers,
Copy !req
74. Smallville High has it covered.
Copy !req
75. All I'm asking is that
you're careful, okay?
Copy !req
76. I can't always be there.
Copy !req
77. - Okay.
- Yeah. All right.
Copy !req
78. Couldn't we have just sat
in the waiting room?
Copy !req
79. What if somebody we know came in?
Copy !req
80. They might ask questions.
Copy !req
81. You know, if this is something
you're so embarrassed about
Copy !req
82. then maybe we shouldn't be
doing it anymore.
Copy !req
83. We agreed, Kyle. This is important.
Copy !req
84. It's been a year, Lana.
Copy !req
85. Why does it feel like I'm the only one
that's still worried about this?
Copy !req
86. Will you stop with this again?
Copy !req
87. You're not the only one
worried about this.
Copy !req
88. Yeah, well, you sure have
Copy !req
89. a funny way of showing it.
Copy !req
90. Hey, honey.
Copy !req
91. Hey, mija.
Copy !req
92. How did it go with Dr. Lawrence?
Copy !req
93. That's between me and her.
Copy !req
94. I just want to make sure
you're doing okay, that's all.
Copy !req
95. Then stop asking me about it
every ten seconds.
Copy !req
96. I'm seeing Dr. Lawrence
like you asked, okay?
Copy !req
97. Can we just go now? Dad?
Copy !req
98. Roger that.
Copy !req
99. Hey, you weren't in
first period class this morning
Copy !req
100. Everything all right?
Copy !req
101. Uh, not according to my mom.
Copy !req
102. It's fine.
Copy !req
103. It's just some dumb family drama stuff.
Copy !req
104. Hey, I...
I've been meaning to ask you this.
Copy !req
105. After school could we possibly hang out,
Copy !req
106. - or maybe we could...
- Oh, I...
Copy !req
107. I'm gonna be late.
So I'll talk to you later?
Copy !req
108. - Close, but no cigar, pal. Nice try.
- No.
Copy !req
109. Hey, short stack.
Copy !req
110. Why is it every time I see you,
you're flirting with my girlfriend?
Copy !req
111. Uh, look, I don't know
what you're talking...
Copy !req
112. Hey, what are you doing?
Copy !req
113. First you kiss Sarah, now I catch you
slobbering all over her like a lap dog.
Copy !req
114. Hey. Get away from him.
Copy !req
115. What are you doing? Come on.
Copy !req
116. Jordan, come on.
Copy !req
117. Don't you walk away from me.
Copy !req
118. Jordan, are you okay?
Copy !req
119. Jordan.
Copy !req
120. - Jordan.
- This dude's about to cry.
Copy !req
121. Do you need the clicker thing
Dad gave you? Jordan!
Copy !req
122. Hey, guys.
Copy !req
123. Wow.
Copy !req
124. - This place has, uh, really...
- Whatever.
Copy !req
125. not changed since I went here.
Copy !req
126. I didn't need your help.
Copy !req
127. Apparently, you needed Dad's.
What are you doing here?
Copy !req
128. Oh, just wanted to, you know,
Copy !req
129. see how things were going
at your new school.
Copy !req
130. So you decided to randomly drop by
during fifth period?
Copy !req
131. This wasn't random.
Copy !req
132. He was spying on us.
Copy !req
133. What?
Copy !req
134. I was just making sure
that you were okay.
Copy !req
135. Yeah. You could have
said something this morning,
Copy !req
136. but instead you lied to our faces.
Copy !req
137. It wasn't a lie. You just didn't ask.
Copy !req
138. How long have you been doing this?
Copy !req
139. Since we moved here? Our whole lives?
Copy !req
140. It's not like I'm listening
all the time.
Copy !req
141. That is... That is the wrong answer.
Copy !req
142. You know, I thought you said it was okay
for me to go to school.
Copy !req
143. - It is. Jordan.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
144. Having a new power is a lot.
Copy !req
145. Yeah, so that was a lie, too.
Copy !req
146. Great.
Copy !req
147. So, how was your first day?
Copy !req
148. I tried following up
on those reverse mortgages,
Copy !req
149. but it turns out
people aren't interested
Copy !req
150. in talking to someone
not from Smallville.
Copy !req
151. Trust takes time.
Copy !req
152. People around here, though,
warm up soon enough.
Copy !req
153. You spoken to the boys since earlier?
Copy !req
154. Nope. Radio silence.
Copy !req
155. Do you remember the first time
I caught you listening in on me?
Copy !req
156. How could I forget?
Copy !req
157. I thought I was gonna lose you forever.
Copy !req
158. You almost did.
Copy !req
159. Pretty sure I spent about
a week's salary on flowers
Copy !req
160. just to get you to talk to me again.
Copy !req
161. It was two,
Copy !req
162. and you got off easy because
I was still madly in love with you.
Copy !req
163. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
164. Well, any suggestions on how
to make things right with the boys?
Copy !req
165. Make them the same promise you made me.
Copy !req
166. You both were right.
Copy !req
167. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
168. No more listening in
on your conversations.
Copy !req
169. I give you my word.
Copy !req
170. Mom mentioned something about flowers.
Copy !req
171. What are the chances
of you raising my allowance?
Copy !req
172. Nice try.
Copy !req
173. We good?
Copy !req
174. Sure. Whatever.
Copy !req
175. How'd you like to interview
the keynote speaker
Copy !req
176. at this year's Harvest Festival?
Copy !req
177. Not sure puff pieces
are really my brand.
Copy !req
178. Well, around here, they sell papers.
Copy !req
179. I'm afraid not everything you write
for me
Copy !req
180. is gonna change the world.
Copy !req
181. This the paper
that just published that article
Copy !req
182. about Edge EnerCorp?
Copy !req
183. Yes, along with a great piece
on bird watching
Copy !req
184. and a pretty tricky crossword puzzle.
Copy !req
185. Ah, it wasn't that tricky.
Copy !req
186. Now, which one of you is calling around
New Carthage looking for a new story?
Copy !req
187. That would be me, Miss...
Copy !req
188. Powell. Sharon Powell.
Copy !req
189. Miss Powell, I'm Lois Lane.
Copy !req
190. Does this have anything
to do with Morgan Edge?
Copy !req
191. Yeah, you're damn right it does.
Copy !req
192. I'm hoping you can help me
nail that bastard's ass to the wall.
Copy !req
193. My son was a miner
at the Edge Facility in New Carthage.
Copy !req
194. - Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
195. He worked there six months.
Copy !req
196. Made good money, too.
Copy !req
197. He even sent some of it back home.
Copy !req
198. But that all changed the day Morgan Edge
offered him
Copy !req
199. the opportunity of a lifetime.
Copy !req
200. What kind of opportunity?
Copy !req
201. He was never too clear on that.
Copy !req
202. Derek had to sign a bunch of paperwork
keeping him quiet.
Copy !req
203. Why do you think
there was foul play involved?
Copy !req
204. Hey, Mom. I wish I'd caught you.
Copy !req
205. This opportunity isn't
what I thought it was.
Copy !req
206. I'm not sure what's gonna happen,
Copy !req
207. so I just wanted you to know
that I loved you.
Copy !req
208. Bye.
Copy !req
209. That was the last time
I ever heard his voice.
Copy !req
210. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
211. Thank you.
Copy !req
212. You can't just break up with me.
Copy !req
213. Have you not been paying attention?
Copy !req
214. - Come on.
- Don't.
Copy !req
215. Better learn to stay in your lane.
Copy !req
216. One, two, three, four, five,
seven, eight.
Copy !req
217. One, two, three, four, five,
seven, eight.
Copy !req
218. One, two, three, four, five,
seven, eight.
Copy !req
219. What is with the timing?
Copy !req
220. - Sarah.
- What?
Copy !req
221. 14 other girls
are working their butts off
Copy !req
222. and you're barely paying attention.
Copy !req
223. What's going on?
Copy !req
224. Relax, Mom.
Copy !req
225. Don't tell me to relax.
Copy !req
226. This is important.
What has gotten into you lately?
Copy !req
227. You know what, Mom? I quit.
Copy !req
228. How about that?
Copy !req
229. Sarah, get back here. Sarah!
Copy !req
230. Get 'em, boys!
Copy !req
231. Come on, boys.
Copy !req
232. Get your hands into it. Let's go.
Copy !req
233. Pick up that knee! Let's go!
Copy !req
234. - Uh, Kent, is that your brother?
- Come on. Let's go, people.
Copy !req
235. - Two hands on that ball.
- Hey, Pee-Wee, practice is on Saturday.
Copy !req
236. He's a walking Disney movie in cleats.
Copy !req
237. Hey, hey, hey. Hey.
Dude. What are you doing?
Copy !req
238. Trying out for the team.
Copy !req
239. That is a terrible idea
on so many levels. I can't even...
Copy !req
240. Since when did you become
such a pessimist?
Copy !req
241. I don't know.
Probably since I saw you in pads.
Copy !req
242. - Jordan, what about your powers?
- I'll go easy.
Copy !req
243. All right?
Copy !req
244. Do you even know how to do that?
Copy !req
245. Don't worry.
Copy !req
246. Now who wants to play some football?
Copy !req
247. In the middle.
In the middle, 13. Let's go.
Copy !req
248. Jordan.
Copy !req
249. It literally goes against everything
that we talked about with Dad.
Copy !req
250. You play for the team all the time.
Copy !req
251. What's the difference
if I give it a try?
Copy !req
252. Are you being serious?
Copy !req
253. What is this even about, Jordan?
You hate sports.
Copy !req
254. These guys think
they can push us around.
Copy !req
255. Well, guess what. I'm pushing back.
Copy !req
256. Let's go. Drive that through.
Drive, drive, drive!
Copy !req
257. Come on. Let's go, people.
Copy !req
258. All right.
Copy !req
259. When you came by earlier, I thought
the other coaches were pranking me.
Copy !req
260. Well, here you are.
Copy !req
261. All right.
Copy !req
262. Simon!
Copy !req
263. Go on, take some reps at the corner.
Copy !req
264. Go on.
Copy !req
265. Yes, Coach. Thank you, Coach.
Copy !req
266. It's not a military drill, Jordan.
Copy !req
267. You're gonna need to put that helmet on.
Copy !req
268. Let's go, people. Let's go!
Come on now. Let's go!
Copy !req
269. Pick up the pace.
Copy !req
270. Red Eighty.
Copy !req
271. Red Eighty, set, hut!
Copy !req
272. This is my lane now, bro.
Copy !req
273. Set, hut.
Copy !req
274. Set, hut.
Copy !req
275. That's what I'm talking about.
Copy !req
276. - Thanks, Coach.
- Whoo!
Copy !req
277. Thank you. Thank you. Ah!
Copy !req
278. Uh-uh.
Hey, where are you going, QB2?
Copy !req
279. Not so fast.
Copy !req
280. Excuse me, Coach?
Copy !req
281. You got the big cheese Ronnie Lott
for a little brother,
Copy !req
282. and you didn't say anything to me?
Copy !req
283. Someone's running today, smart ass.
Copy !req
284. You give me five
for keeping that from me.
Copy !req
285. Yeah, go on.
Copy !req
286. Pick up the pace or I'll put five on it.
Copy !req
287. So when did you turn into
Mr. All American football player?
Copy !req
288. I've been practicing
in the backyard with Jon.
Copy !req
289. Oh, yeah. Yeah, for sure. Every day.
Copy !req
290. You two are very unusual people.
Copy !req
291. So I kind of heard you and Sean earlier.
Copy !req
292. It was long overdue. He's just...
Copy !req
293. everything I'm not looking for.
Copy !req
294. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
295. So you broke up with Sean then?
Copy !req
296. Well, aren't you super perceptive?
Copy !req
297. So that's why you walked
off the cheer squad earlier?
Copy !req
298. Ah, maybe.
Copy !req
299. We've been in school for what,
exactly like a week?
Copy !req
300. And it feels the exact same.
Copy !req
301. Have you guys ever just wanted
to change your everything?
Copy !req
302. - Yeah.
- Not until I moved here.
Copy !req
303. Uh, Sarah, your mom's coming in
at like an EF4 right now.
Copy !req
304. Hi, boys.
Copy !req
305. Hi, Mrs. Cushing.
Copy !req
306. Sarah, can I talk to you for a minute?
Copy !req
307. Whatever you wanna say,
you can say it right here.
Copy !req
308. Do you want to explain to me
what happened back there?
Copy !req
309. Isn't it obvious? I quit the team.
Copy !req
310. Mm-hmm. You don't need
to give me attitude.
Copy !req
311. Well, you don't have to hover
every single day.
Copy !req
312. Look, I'm just trying to keep you safe.
Copy !req
313. Because you think I'm gonna kill myself?
Copy !req
314. Okay, this is not the appropriate place
to be having this conversation.
Copy !req
315. How many times do I have
to tell you? I'm fine.
Copy !req
316. Can't you just trust that and back off?
Copy !req
317. I know you're not telling me
everything that happened.
Copy !req
318. That's hilarious,
Copy !req
319. coming from the most
full-of-crap lady in all of Smallville.
Copy !req
320. - Okay, Sarah...
- No.
Copy !req
321. You act like our family's so awesome
when it's literally a dumpster fire.
Copy !req
322. - Enough.
- Dad sleeps on the couch every night.
Copy !req
323. Sophie bullies all of the kids
in her class,
Copy !req
324. and you can't go to bed
without taking a pill.
Copy !req
325. I said that's enough.
Copy !req
326. Look, grab your stuff. Let's go.
Copy !req
327. Now!
Copy !req
328. - Lana?
- Not now, Clark.
Copy !req
329. Is everything okay with Lana?
Copy !req
330. Not really.
Copy !req
331. Yeah, she just went
all scorched earth on Sarah.
Copy !req
332. Oh.
Copy !req
333. Well, your mom's working late,
so it's just us.
Copy !req
334. Anything exciting happen
at school today?
Copy !req
335. Actually, football practice
was pretty interesting.
Copy !req
336. - Yeah?
- Yeah. Uh...
Copy !req
337. Jonathan got a couple of good reps in.
Copy !req
338. I really think Coach
is starting to take notice.
Copy !req
339. Yeah, there's just a little more
to it than that, but...
Copy !req
340. That's great.
Copy !req
341. Let's, uh, oh, celebrate with some
chili cheese fries.
Copy !req
342. I think Sharon Powell
might have given us our big break.
Copy !req
343. Or... And here's another theory,
Copy !req
344. that lady was half in the bag,
Copy !req
345. selling a conspiracy theory
about her son.
Copy !req
346. Did you smell her breath?
Copy !req
347. I'm aware she'd been drinking.
Copy !req
348. I looked into Derek Powell
while you were with his mom.
Copy !req
349. It turns out, the guy
has a pretty checkered past.
Copy !req
350. Even if that's true,
that voicemail was really compelling.
Copy !req
351. Out of context, sure.
But he never once mentioned Morgan Edge.
Copy !req
352. Maybe it was just a drug deal
gone wrong.
Copy !req
353. That is a stretch.
Copy !req
354. But a bazillionaire
making the guy disappear isn't?
Copy !req
355. At least give me the chance
to prove I'm right.
Copy !req
356. Look, this isn't the Daily Planet.
Copy !req
357. We don't have the resources to run
an investigation for weeks on end.
Copy !req
358. But you hired me to write
this kind of story.
Copy !req
359. I hate to ask, but you don't happen
to drive a station wagon
Copy !req
360. that's on fire right now, do you?
Copy !req
361. We've got this.
Copy !req
362. Real sorry about your car, Lois.
Copy !req
363. Morgan Edge was behind this, Kyle.
Copy !req
364. Hold on. You shouldn't go around
making baseless accusations like that.
Copy !req
365. It's not baseless. We just finished
talking to a source about him.
Copy !req
366. We still haven't verified those claims.
Copy !req
367. Y'all have a good night.
Copy !req
368. - Yo! Give it back.
- Hey, why'd you lie to Dad?
Copy !req
369. Why are you whispering?
Copy !req
370. I'm not whispering.
Copy !req
371. And I didn't lie to him.
I'm following his example.
Copy !req
372. Okay, well, now that
you've made your stupid point,
Copy !req
373. you're done playing football,
right?
Copy !req
374. No, the team needs me.
Copy !req
375. And besides, Coach Gaines
may even send me a valentine.
Copy !req
376. Jordan, football is my thing, not yours.
Copy !req
377. You don't own football, you egomaniac.
Copy !req
378. The only reason that you're even playing
Copy !req
379. is 'cause you have your little
super strength or whatever.
Copy !req
380. The only reason I'm playing
Copy !req
381. is 'cause your little football buddies
need to back off.
Copy !req
382. You're welcome.
Copy !req
383. And, besides,
I don't have super strength.
Copy !req
384. I'm just a little stronger than before.
Copy !req
385. Stop. What if someone gets hurt?
Copy !req
386. You know, I'm getting a little tired
of everyone treating me
Copy !req
387. like I'm some sort of ticking time bomb.
Copy !req
388. You know Dad's gonna find out.
Copy !req
389. So what? I'm not doing anything wrong.
Copy !req
390. Guess you got nothing
to worry about then.
Copy !req
391. Thought you could use this.
Copy !req
392. I made a total fool of myself
accusing Edge like that.
Copy !req
393. It's an honest mistake.
Copy !req
394. We have been here for a week,
Copy !req
395. and somebody has already tried
to blow up my car.
Copy !req
396. Look, folks in Smallville,
they're good people.
Copy !req
397. Don't let what happened today
change that.
Copy !req
398. Besides, it's not like
it's your first Molotov cocktail.
Copy !req
399. I just feel like everyone here
has their walls up.
Copy !req
400. Maybe I should just hand the story off
and mend some fences.
Copy !req
401. - What's your gut telling you?
- That there's more to this.
Copy !req
402. Then you have to dig deeper.
Copy !req
403. Listen, I will support
whatever decision you make.
Copy !req
404. I just want you to be able
to live with it.
Copy !req
405. - I love you.
- Still?
Copy !req
406. Thanks for the flowers.
Copy !req
407. - Hey.
- Paperwork is all signed.
Copy !req
408. Ah, great.
Copy !req
409. Listen, Clark. About yesterday...
Copy !req
410. Oh, no. No need to apologize.
Copy !req
411. It's just, Sarah quit cheer
out of nowhere,
Copy !req
412. and I suddenly feel like
my whole family is falling apart.
Copy !req
413. - Can you walk?
- Uh, yeah.
Copy !req
414. Oh, I left my keys in the...
It's Smallville.
Copy !req
415. It's Smallville?
Copy !req
416. Uh, and I doubt that, by the way.
Copy !req
417. Well, of course you do.
Copy !req
418. I mean, that's the image
I've worked so hard to put out there.
Copy !req
419. And the truth is,
Kyle and I barely talk.
Copy !req
420. When we do, we're yelling at each other.
Copy !req
421. And Sophie...
God, Sophie's just become mean,
Copy !req
422. and Sarah, I just feel like
I'm losing Sarah.
Copy !req
423. Hmm, don't be so sure.
Copy !req
424. Really hard to know
what they're thinking at this age.
Copy !req
425. Oh, God. Part of me wants to know
Copy !req
426. and the other part of me is terrified
at what I might find out.
Copy !req
427. Yeah. I miss having Mom around
to help with this sort of thing.
Copy !req
428. She would be so happy
to know you're finally home.
Copy !req
429. And at least the boys are
finally settling in.
Copy !req
430. I hear Jordan's quite the football star.
Copy !req
431. I think you mean Jonathan.
Copy !req
432. No.
Copy !req
433. It's time to get locked and loaded.
Let's go. You ready?
Copy !req
434. That's where the rubber meets the road.
Copy !req
435. You ready?
Copy !req
436. Sean, you're up.
Copy !req
437. Who do you want?
Copy !req
438. - I want short stack, Coach.
- Short stack.
Copy !req
439. All right.
Copy !req
440. Time to lock horns, gentlemen.
Copy !req
441. You ready?
Copy !req
442. You ready?
Copy !req
443. That's what I'm talking about!
Copy !req
444. I shouldn't have kissed Sarah.
Copy !req
445. It wasn't cool. I apologize.
Copy !req
446. All right.
Copy !req
447. Yeah. Thanks.
Copy !req
448. The team that plays together
stays together.
Copy !req
449. All right. Who's next up?
Copy !req
450. How could you possibly think
it was okay to join the football team?
Copy !req
451. You didn't say it wasn't.
Copy !req
452. No, no, don't, don't do that.
I see what you're doing.
Copy !req
453. As long as you don't mention it,
it's not a lie, right?
Copy !req
454. Your father apologized for that.
Copy !req
455. Your powers are not something
to be taken lightly, Jordan.
Copy !req
456. Yeah, well, I barely have any,
remember?
Copy !req
457. That's what Grand Pabbie told us
at Elsa's Ice Castle.
Copy !req
458. That's not funny.
Copy !req
459. He was only comparing your powers
to mine.
Copy !req
460. No, he said my powers suck.
Don't act like he didn't.
Copy !req
461. I admit taking you to see him this early
was a mistake.
Copy !req
462. Mistake?
Copy !req
463. You know what?
Everything you do is a mistake.
Copy !req
464. You get fired, you bring us here...
Copy !req
465. You know, I just wish you would go back
to not being around anymore.
Copy !req
466. - Go upstairs.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
467. - Right now.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
468. Uh, I'm with you guys.
I don't know what he was thinking.
Copy !req
469. You too.
Copy !req
470. Hmm, come on, boys.
Copy !req
471. Sarah.
Copy !req
472. Would you please sit down
and have dinner with the rest of us?
Copy !req
473. No.
Copy !req
474. - He didn't mean all that.
- You sure?
Copy !req
475. He's 14. He was lashing out.
Copy !req
476. I'm not saying that
that makes it acceptable,
Copy !req
477. but we can't take everything
he says at face value.
Copy !req
478. And how am I supposed
to know what he needs?
Copy !req
479. All I'm saying is, maybe figure out
the reason behind Jordan's anger
Copy !req
480. and address that.
Copy !req
481. You going somewhere?
Copy !req
482. Yeah. Turns out Miss Powell's son
Copy !req
483. isn't the only worker
who's gone missing.
Copy !req
484. There's three other employees
I can't account for.
Copy !req
485. - So you were right.
- Looks like it.
Copy !req
486. We're meeting in New Carthage
to go over it all.
Copy !req
487. So I'm gonna need to borrow your truck.
Copy !req
488. - You gonna bring it back?
- 50-50.
Copy !req
489. You should be glad Dad found out.
Copy !req
490. Now you can just go back
to hanging out with Sarah
Copy !req
491. and listening to El-P remix Morrissey,
or whatever.
Copy !req
492. Morrissey's a xenophobic has-been.
Copy !req
493. Well, you hate football, right?
So, who cares?
Copy !req
494. - You don't have to pretend anymore.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
495. You were right.
I should have said something.
Copy !req
496. That's my bad.
I know I'm not a perfect person.
Copy !req
497. Trust me. We all make mistakes.
Copy !req
498. Yeah, but what if Jordan joining
the team wasn't a mistake?
Copy !req
499. I'm not sure I see your point.
Copy !req
500. Trust me, this...
this feels really weird to say,
Copy !req
501. but maybe Jordan needs football.
Copy !req
502. I mean, he's been a really messed-up kid
for a really long time.
Copy !req
503. And, I don't know, what if
joining the team is a good thing?
Copy !req
504. I appreciate you sticking up
for your brother...
Copy !req
505. No. Look. It's not even like that.
You should have seen him out there.
Copy !req
506. He's making friends.
Copy !req
507. He's been happy
for the first time in forever.
Copy !req
508. Jonathan, there's nothing I want more
than for you guys to be happy.
Copy !req
509. But we have to be careful.
Copy !req
510. And him using his strength like this,
it could raise suspicion.
Copy !req
511. Yeah, but he doesn't have
super strength like you.
Copy !req
512. That's what Jor-El-DeBarge said, right?
Copy !req
513. Just because his strength isn't like
mine doesn't mean it's not elevated.
Copy !req
514. Okay, so maybe that puts him
on the level of the other kids.
Copy !req
515. Okay, maybe he's a little stronger,
Copy !req
516. but maybe that does even
the playing field for a kid his size.
Copy !req
517. - You don't know that.
- Neither do you.
Copy !req
518. I know that having powers
is a total game changer,
Copy !req
519. but what's the point
of having something special
Copy !req
520. if you're not actually
allowed to be special?
Copy !req
521. Sharon?
Copy !req
522. Oh, that won't help you.
Copy !req
523. No. But he will.
Copy !req
524. Sharon. Sharon.
Copy !req
525. Sharon, wake up. Sharon.
Copy !req
526. Sharon! Superman!
Copy !req
527. Superman!
Copy !req
528. - He's gone. Are you okay?
- She's barely breathing.
Copy !req
529. You need to take her to the hospital.
I'll be fine.
Copy !req
530. Come in.
Copy !req
531. I heard about Sean.
Copy !req
532. Nothing travels faster
than Smallville gossip.
Copy !req
533. Honey, I'm here
if you want to talk about it.
Copy !req
534. I'm fine.
Copy !req
535. I just can't tell anymore.
Copy !req
536. Ever since last summer,
Copy !req
537. I have no idea
if I might lose you forever.
Copy !req
538. I'm okay, Mom. I promise.
Copy !req
539. It's just...
Copy !req
540. We used to be so close.
Copy !req
541. And now there's this distance.
Copy !req
542. When am I gonna know
that you're really okay?
Copy !req
543. Because I'll tell you.
Copy !req
544. I've been telling you the truth
this whole time.
Copy !req
545. Not about why it happened.
Copy !req
546. Honey, you can quit cheer,
Copy !req
547. and you can keep me
at arm's distance if you want.
Copy !req
548. But please, I need to know
why it happened.
Copy !req
549. I just felt trapped.
Copy !req
550. By this town. By this family.
Copy !req
551. Everything was getting so bad
and I just never saw myself escaping.
Copy !req
552. It was like the only future that I saw
for myself was
Copy !req
553. a life that I didn't want.
Copy !req
554. You saw yourself turning into me.
Copy !req
555. - That's not what I meant.
- No, it's okay. It's true.
Copy !req
556. I'm the most full-of-crap lady
in Smallville.
Copy !req
557. And most days when I'm smiling,
that's not now I feel inside.
Copy !req
558. I feel lost.
Copy !req
559. Why do you pretend?
Copy !req
560. It's how I was raised.
Copy !req
561. Always smile at your neighbor.
Copy !req
562. Never let them
see the hurt inside.
Copy !req
563. I don't really think that's healthy.
Copy !req
564. Yeah.
Copy !req
565. I think you're right.
Copy !req
566. Do you know what kind of life
would make you happy?
Copy !req
567. I don't know.
Copy !req
568. I guess I'm figuring it out.
Copy !req
569. Yeah, me too.
Copy !req
570. Come here.
Copy !req
571. I love you so much.
Copy !req
572. So, is creepy lurking
one of your super powers now?
Copy !req
573. Come on. I want to show you something.
Copy !req
574. When I was in ninth grade,
Copy !req
575. I wanted to try out
for the baseball team,
Copy !req
576. but my dad didn't let me.
Copy !req
577. I begged him over and over,
but he always said no.
Copy !req
578. So you never even tried out?
Copy !req
579. I came close.
Copy !req
580. Showed up at the field and everything.
Copy !req
581. But at the last minute I realized
Copy !req
582. one of the main reasons
I wanted to try out
Copy !req
583. didn't have anything
to do with baseball.
Copy !req
584. Was it a girl?
Copy !req
585. It's always a girl.
Copy !req
586. So did you regret not playing?
Copy !req
587. Yeah, I did.
Copy !req
588. Now it's been over 20 years
and I still think about it.
Copy !req
589. Which is why I need you
to be very honest with me.
Copy !req
590. Is playing football something
that you really want?
Copy !req
591. To be honest,
at first I wasn't sure or anything,
Copy !req
592. but these last couple of days,
they've kind of just been incredible.
Copy !req
593. And you're sure you can keep
your powers under control?
Copy !req
594. Yes. I'm...
Copy !req
595. I don't know how to explain it.
It's just a feeling.
Copy !req
596. I guess you would know.
Copy !req
597. Yeah.
Copy !req
598. Yeah, I think I do.
Copy !req
599. Wait. Does this mean I can play?
Copy !req
600. - It does.
- Really?
Copy !req
601. Yes, but there's one last thing
we have to talk about.
Copy !req
602. You want to be an assistant coach?
Copy !req
603. I just want to help out.
Copy !req
604. I don't know if you know this,
Copy !req
605. but I was actually the team manager
back in high school.
Copy !req
606. Linkedln résumé notwithstanding,
you're a little late.
Copy !req
607. We've been staffed-up since the summer.
Copy !req
608. Well, you see, the thing is,
with both my boys on the team now,
Copy !req
609. I'd really just like to find a way
to spend more time with them.
Copy !req
610. Take 'em camping, rent a canoe,
make some s'mores.
Copy !req
611. Look, I promise I won't get in the way.
I'll do whatever job you need.
Copy !req
612. Not to mention he'll work for free.
Copy !req
613. You should've started with that, Kent.
Copy !req
614. Oh.
Copy !req
615. Welcome to the team.
Copy !req
616. Bring that cooler,
meet me on the sidelines.
Copy !req
617. - Thanks for the assist.
- Are you sure about this?
Copy !req
618. No. But I've got to try.
Copy !req
619. All right, I got to run.
See you later, Coach.
Copy !req
620. So your dad did a 180
on the whole football thing?
Copy !req
621. Got a little help from Jon.
Copy !req
622. Well, uh, I can neither confirm
nor deny, but I will say that
Copy !req
623. let's just assume you owe me now.
Copy !req
624. - Jonathan, you ready?
- Yeah. Oh!
Copy !req
625. - See you guys later.
- Bye.
Copy !req
626. Um, so, Friday's gonna be
your first game?
Copy !req
627. Yeah, um...
Copy !req
628. You quit the cheer team.
Are you still gonna go?
Copy !req
629. Do you want me to?
Copy !req
630. - I mean...
- Yeah.
Copy !req
631. Yeah.
Copy !req
632. It might be fun to see you
as a bystander.
Copy !req
633. Your dad seems like
he's really struggling.
Copy !req
634. Oh, yeah.
That's our new assistant coach.
Copy !req
635. Do you need any help, Mr. Kent?
Copy !req
636. Hi, Sarah. I'm great.
Copy !req
637. Hey, Coach gave me a jacket,
and I bought a hat.
Copy !req
638. - I...
- Um...
Copy !req
639. - I'll... I'll see you...
- Have fun at practice, guys.
Copy !req
640. - Bye.
- See you, Sarah.
Copy !req
641. - Looks like you guys are getting along.
- All right, all right.
Copy !req
642. Just pretend like you need my help
with this, all right?
Copy !req
643. Yeah. I really have to be like...
Copy !req
644. Is it too much?
Copy !req
645. - No.
- All right.
Copy !req
646. Lois, I need to apologize to you.
Copy !req
647. I mean, after what happened
to Sharon Powell last night,
Copy !req
648. - I feel like such an idiot.
- Chrissy...
Copy !req
649. It's just... I've never had something
like this fall in my lap before.
Copy !req
650. Stories this important don't usually
happen in Smallville.
Copy !req
651. But see, that's where I was wrong.
Copy !req
652. Stories like this happen
in small towns everywhere.
Copy !req
653. Stories that need to be told,
but they get missed
Copy !req
654. because there aren't enough reporters
looking for them.
Copy !req
655. Come on. Let me show you what
I've been working on.
Copy !req
656. - Where'd you get this?
- From the gas station near the motel.
Copy !req
657. This feels big, doesn't it?
Copy !req
658. Yeah.
Copy !req
659. Now it's up to us
to put it all together.
Copy !req
660. Who are you, and why is a person
with powers working for Morgan Edge?
Copy !req
661. No,
Superman saved Powell's mother.
Copy !req
662. Well, how is Larr gonna take care of it?
Copy !req
663. It's done. I'll call a team.
Copy !req
