Superman & Lois 3x6

1. Previously on Superman & Lois...

2. That feeling to give in to the disease gets to be so strong.

3. This drive that your wife has,

4. she's going to need to use all that energy to survive.

5. I'm not okay with Lois getting her treatment

6. at Bruno Mannheim's hospital.

7. Being a patient here

8. will allow me to move around more freely.

9. I can get access to Dr. Hook's files.

10. You have Superman's blood,

11. and you are having Dr. Hook use it

12. to make powered people like Henry Miller.

13. The only thing I'm doing here is trying to save lives.

14. While you were fighting Deadline,

15. Intergang was silently raiding the cupboards.

16. - What did they take? - This is our new priority.

17. Hi. I'm Clark. My wife, Lois, has breast cancer.

18. She's been coming here to Hob's Bay for chemo.

19. And... thanks for having me.

20. Who'd like to start?

21. Avi? How's Raj?

22. Oh, still a big baby.

23. Surgery went well, but the recovery is long.

24. So, now I'm doing everything.

25. The burden on a spouse is real, and it's healthy to be honest about it.

26. Have you told Raj how you feel?

27. Well, how I feel is I never should have let him

28. move his big, dumb TV into the bedroom.

29. Talk to him. Something tells me he'll surprise you.

30. Victor? How are things at home?

31. I guess I'm just trying to count my blessings.

32. Nancy's last scan was better than expected.

33. But our doc keeps warning me, someday soon, that won't be the case.

34. And I...

35. And I don't know how I'll be able to face it.

36. The end.

37. We can't, really, until it's our turn.

38. I haven't shared this in a while, but six years ago,

39. my husband was diagnosed with colon cancer.

40. Dan was a runner, 4:00 a.m., six days a week.

41. Through chemo and all the surgeries, he kept getting back out there.

42. He was my miracle.

43. Until he wasn't.

44. He was told the end was inevitable. But Dan had no quit in him.

45. Even as the chemo took his body

46. and the pain became a constant,

47. he pressed on.

48. But then one day, I realized

49. he was only doing it,

50. hanging on,

51. for me.

52. So,

53. I sat beside him, took his hand.

54. And I told Dan that it's okay to let go.

55. So he went to group therapy. Good for him.

56. It's good for both of us.

57. Dr. Hook's research files, as requested.

58. And Mr. Mannheim wishes you well on your article.

59. - Thank you. - You're doing a story on Dr. Hook?

60. More like Hob's Bay.

61. - Oh, what's your angle? - Depends on what I find.

62. If there's anything I can do,

63. lucky for you, I am born and raised right here.

64. I might take you up on that.

65. Your next treatment's, what, number three?

66. Four. Over halfway.

67. Four was when my taste buds went to hell.

68. Let me take you out before you can't get anything down.

69. You can ask me all about Hob's Bay.

70. - Hi there. - Done already?

71. - It's good to see you again. - I hear you're doing group.

72. That's great. It really helped my husband.

73. These the files?

74. - Yeah. - Okay.

75. I'd love to get a meal.

76. It's a date.

77. - You okay? - Yeah, I'm fine. Just wasn't for me.

78. But you said we'd watch a movie.

79. I know, honey, and I'm not happy about it either.

80. But there's a huge mess at work that can't wait until Monday.

81. Can I come with you?

82. Honey, I'm already late for an interview with Chrissy Beppo from The Gazette,

83. and then I have meetings all day.

84. But maybe you and your sister can do something fun today.

85. What? No. Mom, I have to study for my geometry midterm.

86. Why can't Dad take her?

87. Um, it's not his day. But if you want to ask him, be my guest.

88. - Are you serious? - I believe in you. I love you.

89. Wanna play a game I downloaded? You get chased by zombie cats.

90. Soph, I'm, like, up to my ears in trapezoids right now. Maybe later.

91. - Chrissy. - Ms. Mayor. Lana. Hi.

92. I am so sorry to keep you waiting.

93. There just never seems to be enough time anymore.

94. Tell me about it, girlfriend.

95. You're mayor and now you're a single mom.

96. I mean, it must be so hard to do it all.

97. I'd forget to eat my lunch if Lois didn't remind me.

98. Um...

99. Yeah. No, it's difficult. Sure. It's more just that, um...

100. It's weird. You know what I mean?

101. Kyle and I are still trying

102. to figure out the whole co-parenting thing,

103. and it's just...

104. Wow. I've turned into that divorced person

105. people cross the street to avoid.

106. No.

107. No worries. It's all good.

108. Um, so, you said that you had a statement about the new town hall.

109. I look like a deflated balloon.

110. I guess it's vintage?

111. Mr. Cushing says I gotta wear a trainee uniform

112. until I earn a better one.

113. - Who's Rusty? - I don't know.

114. But the crew keeps saying he died in these.

115. Dad, I beat the last Fortress hologram.

116. It was that Kryptonian martial arts lady.

117. You look like a guy who made a wish to be a kid again.

118. Hilarious. I have to go.

119. If I'm late, the crew might make me dress up as a dalmatian or something.

120. Hey. It might be an improvement.

121. Take it easy on him.

122. - He's training, just like you. - All right.

123. Well, Dad said that after I won the last hologram fight

124. that I can actually do some saves on my own.

125. That is not even close to what I said.

126. I'm sure it's what you wanted to hear me say, but—

127. It's your dad. Something's happening with Deadline.

128. It's been over a month since you fought him.

129. Maybe he's finally ready to talk.

130. Well, whatever it is, it sounds urgent. You coming with?

131. Maybe you should go ahead. I kind of overdid it a little.

132. Plus, I have plenty to do here.

133. Can I go? Just for backup.

134. Stay here with your mom. We'll talk about your training later.

135. Mr. DiStefano insists he'll only talk to you.

136. - Why the change of heart? - Says he's sick.

137. Superman, take me to Bruno Mannheim.

138. Seems pretty fishy to me.

139. It's not. He's got tumors everywhere.

140. - What did Mannheim do to you? - Please.

141. Take me or I'll die.

142. Take him.

143. Mannheim.

144. You're crossing a red line coming back here.

145. He's dying and he says only you could save him.

146. I didn't tell him anything.

147. Bruno, you're killing him.

148. What do you want from me? I'm not a doctor.

149. His body is tearing itself apart.

150. Then you should take him to a hospital.

151. Yo, Rusty Nail. I think you missed a spot.

152. Your dad has had me washing this truck all day.

153. Okay, every time that I think I'm finished,

154. he somehow finds a smudge and makes me start over.

155. I think I'm losing my mind.

156. Yeah, well, that sounds better than studying parallelograms for eight hours.

157. - That's this Monday. - Yeah.

158. Well, I'm gonna be a sophomore the rest of my life.

159. I'm hitting it hard tomorrow, if you want to join me.

160. Hey, mijita, let's not distract Rusty Buckets here

161. while he's in training mode.

162. Okay, can I at least just get a shirt with my real name on it, please?

163. See, that's the deal with your generation right there, right?

164. Y'all just want to skip right to the top with a little dance move,

165. a little cat meme, something like that.

166. No, you're Rusty till I say otherwise.

167. Okay.

168. Okay. Come on, Soph. Mom's making dinner.

169. But we didn't get to do anything.

170. Um...

171. I'm at work, sweetie. What'd you expect?

172. I don't know. Something fun?

173. - When's the fair coming? - Not till summer.

174. Hey, look. I promise I'll take you then, okay?

175. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay. Soph.

176. Hey.

177. All right. Chop, chop, Crusty Rusty. Let's see what you got there.

178. I'm not paying you nothing to stand around.

179. There you go. Put your shoulder into it a little bit.

180. Deadline died?

181. They definitely had a deal, but Mannheim wouldn't admit it,

182. and then it was too late.

183. Before Bruno had him released,

184. James DiStefano was diagnosed in prison with stage-four lymphoma.

185. The only other prisoner he got out early,

186. who was also terminal—

187. Was Henry Miller. Right before he showed up with powers.

188. And when the DOD took DiStefano into custody,

189. he had traces of X-K and your blood in his system.

190. Okay, so Mannheim is what?

191. Giving powers to dying criminals? I mean, why go through the trouble?

192. What if— And I know it's a big if, it's Mannheim.

193. But what if this isn't about powers?

194. What if he's actually trying to keep these guys alive?

195. No, carpet. Uh-uh.

196. - Where were you? - There was a flash flood in Utah.

197. It was, like, a wall of water and trees and all kinds of stuff.

198. I mean, like, I saved, like, this hiker and maybe a yoga instructor.

199. It was nuts.

200. Jordan, how many times do I have to say it?

201. - No saves without me. - Babe, wait.

202. We still don't know your limits. What if you had gotten hurt or worse?

203. I told him he could go.

204. I know. I'm sorry. It was just a flood. I thought he'd be okay.

205. And there wasn't time to check with you.

206. You think you're ready? Tomorrow, it's you and me at the Fortress.

207. Yeah? That's awesome. Thanks, Dad.

208. - Yeah. Now go shower. - All right.

209. - Watch the mud. The mud. - Carpet.

210. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.

211. Blend of Kryptonite and Superman's blood in our new subject

212. has incredible potential to reanimate cells.

213. "Potential" isn't good enough. I need the new serum.

214. And you'll have it.

215. As long as Lois Lane stops poking around Hob's Bay Medical.

216. Don't worry. She'll be up to her ears in admin records.

217. What about Superman? He showed up to your office again.

218. - If he finds us down here— - Focus on the work.

219. Let me handle Superman.

220. This is reckless.

221. We either make our move now or let Superman make his.

222. We only have one shot.

223. Then make sure you don't miss.

224. What? What is it?

225. Oh, garlic. Okay. Here. Let me hit another bit of this.

226. I interviewed Lana today.

227. Yeah, and the whole time, I couldn't stop thinking about you.

228. - Sweet. - I know.

229. No, but no. No, it was...

230. It was awful.

231. It was like I was trapped in some Edgar Allan Poe story,

232. and she could hear my heart beating out of my chest.

233. - Why can't we just tell her? - I get it.

234. I do. Okay? But it's just... so soon after the divorce.

235. Kyle, I don't want to be some side piece.

236. No, no, no. You are not a side piece.

237. I just don't want anyone to get hurt. Especially my girls.

238. I put them through enough already.

239. Can you just give me a little more time, babe?

240. I like when you call me babe.

241. - Babe. - Oh, do you?

242. Mmm. Mmm.

243. Babe.

244. - Hey. Is everything okay? - James DiStefano had three girls.

245. I know he was troubled, but they lost their dad today.

246. It's so sad.

247. Estate planning? What's this?

248. Something we should have done so long ago, it is embarrassing.

249. "Healthcare Power of Attorney. Last Will and Testament.

250. End of Life Decisions"?

251. - Lois— - This does not have to be a big deal.

252. But today, if nothing else, was a reminder

253. that we need to be ready just in case.

254. There's no reason for any of this.

255. Except for the fact that I have cancer,

256. a disease that killed the man in front of you this morning.

257. - Yeah, I know, but that was different. - How?

258. He was one of Mannheim's test subjects.

259. I mean, who knows what other chemicals he was exposed to?

260. Besides, babe, you're young and strong,

261. and I know you're gonna get through this.

262. - Clark, can you at least consider— - Nope. I don't have to.

263. Clark, come on.

264. Look, babe, if you want to have these papers in order

265. and that makes you feel better, fine.

266. But I'm telling you, it's not necessary.

267. See? Told you I'm ready.

268. Well, it's a good start, but simulations can only tell us so much.

269. Come on. I've literally done everything you've asked.

270. Jordan, you're still growing and you're only half Kryptonian.

271. We still don't know all of your vulnerabilities yet.

272. - Or how strong I am. - It's not just about strength.

273. It's about risk assessment, tactics, experience.

274. Okay, how am I supposed to get experience if you won't even let me try?

275. You'll get your chance. You just have to be patient.

276. I've been patient. You can't hold me back just 'cause you're afraid.

277. I didn't mean that.

278. You really think you're ready? Okay.

279. - I've already beat him. - Well, then let's crank it up a notch.

280. All right. Bring it.

281. I'm impressed. Online it says a two-month wait.

282. - Here you go. - Thanks, Tom.

283. - So, has this place always been here? - In one form or another.

284. I remember when it had red leather booths

285. and you could bring your own wine.

286. It's been a while since I've felt hungry,

287. but I'm excited to try it.

288. - And it looks amazing. - It really is.

289. Why am I doing this to myself?

290. It's okay. I knew what I was getting into.

291. - Are you sure you're okay if I— - No, please.

292. - I'm just happy you're here. - Me too. I really needed this.

293. So, is it that obvious?

294. Yeah. Oh, I'd recognize that look on your husband's face anywhere.

295. - Okay, let me guess. Everything is okay? - Yes.

296. If Clark says it's all gonna be fine one more time, I might actually lose it.

297. It's bad enough other people always insist on saying that.

298. But at home too, it's exhausting.

299. Clark's amazing and he is the most optimistic person I have ever met.

300. It's one of the things I love the most about him...

301. but any time I even acknowledge that not everyone beats cancer,

302. he just refuses to believe that I could be one of them.

303. For you and me, that's a reality we have to face all day, every day.

304. For everyone else? To really get that?

305. I've been in this a long time.

306. And my husband's still getting his head around it.

307. How do you handle it?

308. I remember he's doing his best and try to be patient.

309. And other times, I yell. A lot.

310. You're chipper. It's weird.

311. Hey. Sun is out and the day is upon us. What more can you ask for?

312. Trusty Rusty. No trainer today, buddy.

313. Actually, I'm here to study with Sarah, if that's okay.

314. Oh, yeah, by all means.

315. Uh, keep an eye on your sister for me, okay? I'll be right back.

316. Russell, it's not a wiggle.

317. Uh, I don't know.

318. - Did Dad leave? - Do you see him here?

319. - But I'm hungry. - Sophie, we got to study.

320. If you're hungry, then go get something to eat.

321. This tortellini was magical.

322. I just wish I had my appetite. How have I never heard of this place?

323. No one really paid attention to Hob's Bay. Until recently.

324. It seems like Bruno Mannheim likes to take most of the credit for that.

325. Well, I mean, he's not wrong.

326. Look at what he's done for the schools and all the new parks, the hospital.

327. It's his investments that brought this neighborhood back to life.

328. Yeah, but where did all that money come from?

329. I can't prove it yet, but I think the hospital's a cover for something.

330. You mean something bad?

331. It's too soon to tell.

332. And you're basing this theory on what? A feeling?

333. The same one that has led me to every big story I've ever broken.

334. I'm not about to argue with Lois Lane,

335. but, I mean, the hospital has done so much good for so many...

336. Including you. And the doctors there...

337. Five years ago, they took the time.

338. They cared. They caught things that my first team missed.

339. If they hadn't, I wouldn't be here.

340. So it's hard for me just to imagine them doing something that could hurt people.

341. - You're right, and I'm sorry. - No, it's— Don't be.

342. It always surprises me how it all comes flooding back.

343. Thank you.

344. Oh!

345. Okay, maybe I can find room for a bite or two.

346. If you don't, you will never forgive yourself. Trust me.

347. I can do this all day.

348. - All right, that wasn't fair. - Fair's got nothing to do with it.

349. You have to make sure you've disarmed all your enemies.

350. All right, enough with the sucker punch lasers.

351. But, Jordan, this is the real world.

352. These guys will be trying to kill you every time,

353. and it takes one mistake to lose everything.

354. Okay, this is stupid.

355. Every time I finish one of your lessons, you just add another.

356. Because I'm trying to keep you safe and alive.

357. If you would stop fighting me and just listen—

358. All I've done is listen and wait.

359. - And I'm sick of it. - I'm trying to teach you something.

360. Yeah, it's not about me.

361. I just don't think you can handle someone else being super too.

362. It's open.

363. It's a cylinder? It looks more like a sad poop emoji.

364. - Okay. - How's the studying going?

365. - Pretty great, actually. - Where's your sister?

366. Oh, she was hungry, so I told her to go get something to eat.

367. Alone? How long ago was that?

368. It's, like, right after I showed up.

369. About, like...

370. an hour ago.

371. - Uh, where's your dad? - He went to go run an errand, I think.

372. Mom, I'm so sorry. I...

373. - Uh, we could check the house. - We can take my truck.

374. We're gonna find her. Everything is gonna be fine.

375. I'm gonna go to Brit and Dunn's.

376. She probably got into the comics and lost track of time.

377. - So just text me. - Okay.

378. Come on.

379. Thank you.

380. Hey. There you are. I've been calling you like crazy.

381. Hey. Uh, sorry. Yeah, I've been out of cell service.

382. - Everything okay? - No, it's not. Sophie's missing.

383. Sophie is supposed to be at my apartment with Sarah.

384. Yes, she left and didn't come back. Why weren't you with them?

385. Um...

386. - I had to do a thing. - What kind of thing?

387. - Just went on a quick hike. - A hike?

388. Lana, I had plans, okay? I'm allowed to do things, all right?

389. And besides, yesterday I took Sophie to work.

390. Sorry to inconvenience you with your own daughter.

391. That's not what I meant.

392. No, what you meant was to blame me for your mistake.

393. - No, Lana, just please listen. - You should've been there with her.

394. And since when do you even hike? In 20 years, you never once...

395. Really?

396. Wow.

397. Lana, I can explain.

398. No explanation necessary. I need to go find my daughter.

399. - Jordan, come back here. - Leave me alone.

400. - What's going on? - Dad shot me with a laser.

401. - What? - He's overreacting.

402. - Not if you shot him. - Look, babe. Don't worry. It's fine.

403. How is this fine? You're shooting our son with lasers.

404. It wasn't me, it was the program.

405. And besides, I'm just trying to prepare him for the worst.

406. Okay, so then it's just different when it comes to me?

407. I'm just saying, you walked out of therapy

408. and you said it wasn't for you.

409. And last night, you walked out of our bedroom,

410. refusing to believe that I can die.

411. - What is going on with you? - Okay, look.

412. Our first day at Hob's Bay, I heard about this feeling

413. that some people with cancer experience this pull

414. to surrender when things get bad.

415. Like, it'd just be easier to give in.

416. And then at the support group,

417. the therapist was talking about telling her husband to let go and—

418. Okay, so you're worried I'm just gonna give up?

419. No, of course not.

420. Well, that's basically what you implied.

421. No, but—

422. I mean, now you're writing a will and acting like you might not make it.

423. Because I might not. I'm not you. You don't get sick.

424. Bullets literally bounce off of you, but everyone else on Earth,

425. all the rest of us, could drop dead any moment of any day.

426. And you not acknowledging that that's how it is isn't helping me.

427. Lois, I'm always going to believe that you're gonna beat this.

428. I'm not gonna fixate on the alternative being a possibility.

429. It already is.

430. And you acting like cancer or old age

431. or some random bus that doesn't see me crossing the street

432. isn't a possibility—

433. Okay, that's not what I'm saying.

434. But you are failing to see that this is my reality.

435. Cancer is my villain, Clark.

436. And you keep acting like it doesn't exist.

437. Wait. Where are you going?

438. I'm going for a ride. Just please don't follow me.

439. And while I'm gone, maybe apologize to our son

440. for laser-beaming him, or whatever the hell that was.

441. Soph! Soph, are you here?

442. I checked everywhere outside.

443. She's not in here either. God, I can't believe I let this happen.

444. Hey. It's not all on you, okay? I was with her too.

445. But she's my sister.

446. It's, like, no matter how hard I try,

447. I can't stop screwing up and letting my family down.

448. Nice try, rookie.

449. I took space drugs

450. and destroyed high school football for the entire town.

451. Okay, yeah, your massive failures do kind of make me feel better.

452. Don't think. What are Sophie's favorite places?

453. The movie theater,

454. but they're still playing Dumb Einstein and—

455. Hold up. What Soph said to my dad at the fire station...

456. I think I know where she is. Come on.

457. Oh, my God. There she is. Soph!

458. Leave me alone.

459. - Sophie. - Go away.

460. I think I get it.

461. Let me try.

462. Last summer was my first time at the fair.

463. Sarah says you guys used to go all the time.

464. It must be tough. Everything with your mom and your dad.

465. Everyone always forgets about me. They never want me around.

466. I know how you feel.

467. I mean...

468. in my family, I'm pretty much always the one that's left out.

469. My parents, my brother, they're kind of a big deal, so...

470. Jordan's not a big deal.

471. - I mean, Sarah dumped him. - That's true.

472. - You're not wrong. - Sarah...

473. Dad, Dad, Dad.

474. I was running yesterday back in my head. Is she okay?

475. She's fine. She's fine. She's fine. She's okay.

476. Give him a second, okay?

477. When I first moved here,

478. it was like everyone from my old life was just gone

479. and I felt really alone.

480. I even tried to convince my parents to let me move back to Metropolis.

481. - By yourself? - It was not a good idea.

482. I was just upset.

483. And...

484. sometimes, I just took that out on my brother.

485. When things got tough...

486. he always had my back.

487. That's what family does.

488. But that's your family. Mine doesn't care about me.

489. I kind of doubt that.

490. You should've seen how fast your sister made me drive.

491. I should probably lose my license.

492. - Soph, I was so worried. - We all were, hon.

493. Come on. We gotta get you home, okay?

494. Your mom is probably halfway to New Carthage now looking for you.

495. - Oh, my gosh. You keep getting bigger. - Thank you.

496. Okay.

497. Come on, Soph.

498. Hey, uh...

499. Might be a new shirt in your future, little kid.

500. I know you're mad at me. I just wanna say I'm sorry.

501. You're a great kid.

502. And your heart's in the right place.

503. And every day, I'm amazed at how far you've come.

504. - But— - But there's no reason to rush this.

505. Look, I've had a lifetime of experience

506. and plenty of mistakes to become who I am.

507. Yeah. You had to figure it out by yourself.

508. I have Superman to learn from. There's no better teacher than that.

509. - Superman! - What is it?

510. Superman!

511. Please hurry.

512. - Mom. - Stay here.

513. Superman.

514. Superman.

515. Help me, Superman.

516. Mom, you're okay.

517. - Yeah. Why wouldn't I be? - We heard you screaming.

518. - We thought the worst— - Calm down and tell me what happened.

519. I don't know. It sounded like you were hurt

520. so Dad told me to stay here and then he left to go find you.

521. You need to listen for your father and tell me exactly what you hear.

522. Impressive.

523. - We need to call Grandpa. - The DOD won't make it in time.

524. You need to help him.

525. - Dad said I wasn't ready. - Then prove him wrong.

526. You can do this, Jordan. Go save your father.

527. No!

528. Jordan. Jordan. Jordan.

529. No. No.

530. Come on, Jordan. Come on. Jordan. Jordan, please. Please.

531. Oh, Jordan.

532. Check it out, Mom.

533. No more Musty Rusty. I'm moving up in the world.

534. You okay?

535. - Yeah, it's okay. - Mom, you were right.

536. I took down a bunch of bad guys,

537. even got shot with Kryptonite, but I didn't get hurt.

538. We're gonna run some more tests at the Fortress

539. but it seems like Kryptonite doesn't affect him the same way.

540. - What did I miss? - Just, you know, Jordan saving my life.

541. Li'I Kent?

542. What are you? The worst rapper in Kansas?

543. Okay. Well, Sarah thought it was cool, so...

544. You hung out with Sarah? Yo.

545. - I'm sorry. - No, you were right.

546. I have been in my head a bit lately,

547. and when I heard you calling for help, I didn't even think,

548. and Jordan could've got hurt.

549. But this human side of him, this side he got from you...

550. saved him.

551. - Might even make him stronger than me. - I'm just glad you guys are both okay.

552. When he got shot...

553. that was the worst moment of my life.

554. It was like living in a nightmare...

555. and I realized I've been so obsessed with keeping him safe

556. because for the first time I can't keep you safe.

557. I feel really powerless.

558. Yeah, this is different from anything we've ever faced.

559. - Even Superman has his limits. - I don't wanna lose you.

560. It's terrifying.

561. Maybe, one day, I will feel that pull,

562. but you have to know I have every intention of beating this

563. and that I will do everything I can and give everything I have

564. to stay with you and the boys.

565. And I'm always gonna believe that you're gonna make it.

566. But I promise you, I will be better at being here for you...

567. in whatever way you need me to be.

568. Oh, baby, I'm sorry.

569. I've been so busy lately,

570. I didn't realize how left out you were feeling.

571. And I know I've been a crappy big sister,

572. but I was wondering if you wanted to play video games with me.

573. Zombie Cat Chasers?

574. I don't really get that one, but if you do like evil pets,

575. wait till you see the zombie dogs.

576. All right, let's do it.

577. You don't play video games.

578. Excuse me. I used to crush at Burger Time.

579. You know, you climb the ladder and make hamburgers?

580. Yeah, I guess it sounds pretty dumb.

581. Okay, come on.

582. Soph, come help me get the rest of Dad's gamer stuff from the garage.

583. - Maybe Dad wants to play too. - You know what? Maybe another time.

584. - Okay. - Come on.

585. Hey. Uh, I don't know if you're getting any of my texts or my calls.

586. Kyle, I'm really glad that Sophie's okay, but I'm super busy.

587. Okay. Um...

588. Look, what happened today with Lana, it was awful

589. and I should've just listened to you.

590. I know, but you didn't.

591. So, now I feel rotten and Lana hates me.

592. Come on, Chrissy. Lana doesn't hate you.

593. Look, I'm pretty sure you're about to break up with me,

594. so why don't we just get it over with?

595. Whoa, whoa. No, no, no. That is...

596. not even close to what's happening here.

597. You know, I never could've imagined finding someone like you so fast.

598. It took me by surprise in the best kind of way.

599. And as far as Lana finding out like that, it was a shock.

600. But I promise that she is not mad at you.

601. I don't want her to be mad at you either.

602. Hopefully, she's not.

603. But it's complicated.

604. Well, where does that leave us then?

605. I thought maybe we should stop sneaking around

606. and make this a little more— I don't know.

607. Public?

608. Okay.

609. Chrissy Marie Beppo...

610. will you be my girlfriend?

611. Um...

612. Yeah.

613. I'm glad things are getting better.

614. - Hi. Uh, sorry. I'm— - Clark. Of course.

615. I wasn't sure we'd see you again. Please, come in.

616. Your timing's perfect. Reggie just finished.

617. - Would you like to share? - Sure. Um...

618. Hearing your story about your husband,

619. telling him to let go.

620. I couldn't fathom saying, "That's my wife."

621. That scared me...

622. in a way that I don't think I've ever been scared before.

623. Superman's still alive.

624. I can't do this anymore.

625. That affected the way I dealt with my family,

626. the people more important to me than...

627. anything else in the world.

628. I find myself facing a problem that I can't do anything about.

629. I have no idea what's gonna happen.

630. There's so much we don't know, so much... uncertainty.

631. My powers are fading.

632. I'm getting worse. I can feel it.

633. Don't worry. Dr. Hook is so close.

634. Peia...

635. I'm going to save you.

636. What I do know is

637. I need to be the best version of me...

638. so I can be there for my wife

639. and my boys, in any way they need.

640. So that's why I'm here. To ask for help.
