[Clark] Previously on
Superman & Lois...

[Lois] Your mom wanted us
to move to Smallville.

This family needs Smallville.

About a year ago,
I took a bunch of my mom's pills.

She made a really big drama out of it.

Lots of therapy.

Hey! That's my girlfriend!

Girlfriend?

[Lois] It is an article I am working on
about Morgan Edge.

He's not here to save Smallville.

Edge changed my story.
I can't let him do this.

That is the best writing I have done
since you took over.

[Lois] I already quit.

When can you start?

So I can go to school?

We have to keep an eye on your powers.

The photo-nucleic effect
appears to be insignificant.

But he will never be like you, Kal-El.

Does this have too much blue in it?

- I still like the Huntsman's Tribute.
- [groans]

Dad, I'm pretty sure
that's just slang for poop.

- Hey.
- [Lois] Jonathan.

Don't be gross. Also, he's not wrong.

Mom, can we just pick something?

Sweetie, this is an important decision.

We're finally putting
our own stamp on this house.

If you make up your mind.

What about this color?
You like this color?

Yeah, it's fine.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

[squeals]

Someone is just asking
for the Huntsman's Tribute.

Anything but Dad's color.

Oh, come on.

- You really wanna do this?
- No super tricks, all right?

Come on.

Come on. You can do better than that.

[laughing]

Okay. That's it. That's it.

[rumbling]

[tires screech]

[Lois] Clark? Clark?

Guess there is no reason to hide it
now that you both know he's Superman.

[people screaming]

[kids screaming]

[man whimpering]

[laughing]

[speaks foreign language]

Wait. So you can hear
every sound in the world at once?

It's more like I hear
all the fluctuations taking place

in the collective sonic frequency.

That makes zero sense to me.

So how do you tell between, like,

someone in trouble
and someone shouting for a taxi?

Well, it took lots of years
of training at the Fortress,

but that's where I learned to hone in on
certain sounds, like people in distress.

Wait. De for real, though.

What's the most embarrassing thing
you've ever heard?

Nope. Not appropriate.

Be honest. Was there nudity involved?

- Maybe when you guys are older.
- Oh!

- Come on.
- What?

- Come on.
- Another time. Another time.

You know, I would've much rather had
super hearing than crazy-ass laser eyes.

Hey, let's just stick with calling it
heat vision for now, okay?

- [Jordan] Mm-hmm.
- And don't be so sure.

Every power comes with its own burden.

- And responsibilities.
- Yeah.

- You mean rules.
- Which are meant to protect you.

Yeah. Don't use my powers,
don't draw attention to myself.

Oh. Don't feed him after midnight.

Hey, it's important that we don't draw
unnecessary attention to our family.

If anyone ever found out the truth
about me, it would change everything.

It's not like we're worried
you two are gonna post it on Facebook.

I mean, yeah, we're not soccer moms.

My point is you need to be
mindful of your actions.

It's the small things
that will raise suspicion.

Look, when I was your age,
my dad was really strict,

and at the time, it seemed unfair.

But now, I realize
it gave me a normal life.

And that's what I want
for the two of you.

Yeah. If by normal you mean
we're cast out like lepers,

Smallville High has it covered.

All I'm asking is that
you're careful, okay?

I can't always be there.

- Okay.
- Yeah. All right.

Couldn't we have just sat
in the waiting room?

What if somebody we know came in?

They might ask questions.

You know, if this is something
you're so embarrassed about

then maybe we shouldn't be
doing it anymore.

We agreed, Kyle. This is important.

It's been a year, Lana.

Why does it feel like I'm the only one
that's still worried about this?

Will you stop with this again?

You're not the only one
worried about this.

Yeah, well, you sure have

- a funny way of showing it.
- [car door opens]

Hey, honey.

Hey, mija.

How did it go with Dr. Lawrence?

That's between me and her.

I just want to make sure
you're doing okay, that's all.

Then stop asking me about it
every ten seconds.

[Kyle clears throat]

I'm seeing Dr. Lawrence
like you asked, okay?

Can we just go now? Dad?

Roger that.

[car engine starts]

[school bell rings]

[Jordan] Hey, you weren't in
first period class this morning

Everything all right?

Uh, not according to my mom.

It's fine.

It's just some dumb family drama stuff.

Hey, I...
I've been meaning to ask you this.

After school could we possibly hang out,

- or maybe we could...
- Oh, I...

I'm gonna be late.
So I'll talk to you later?

- Close, but no cigar, pal. Nice try.
- No.

[kids chattering distantly]

[people chattering
in different languages]

[Jordan grunts]

[Sean] Hey, short stack.

Why is it every time I see you,
you're flirting with my girlfriend?

Uh, look, I don't know
what you're talking...

[Jon] Hey, what are you doing?

First you kiss Sarah, now I catch you
slobbering all over her like a lap dog.

- Hey. Get away from him.
- [Jordan breathing heavily]

What are you doing? Come on.

Jordan, come on.

[Sean] Don't you walk away from me.

[Jon echoing] Jordan, are you okay?

Jordan.

- Jordan.
- [Sean] This dude's about to cry.

Do you need the clicker thing
Dad gave you? Jordan!

[Clark] Hey, guys.

Wow.

- This place has, uh, really...
- Whatever.

...not changed since I went here.

I didn't need your help.

Apparently, you needed Dad's.
What are you doing here?

Oh, just wanted to, you know,

see how things were going
at your new school.

So you decided to randomly drop by
during fifth period?

[Jordan] This wasn't random.

He was spying on us.

[Jon] What?

I was just making sure
that you were okay.

Yeah. You could have
said something this morning,

but instead you lied to our faces.

It wasn't a lie. You just didn't ask.

How long have you been doing this?

Since we moved here? Our whole lives?

It's not like I'm listening
all the time.

That is... That is the wrong answer.

You know, I thought you said it was okay
for me to go to school.

- It is. Jordan.
- [Jordan] Yeah.

Having a new power is a lot.

Yeah, so that was a lie, too.

Great.

[Lois laughs]

So, how was your first day?

I tried following up
on those reverse mortgages,

but it turns out
people aren't interested

in talking to someone
not from Smallville.

Trust takes time.

People around here, though,
warm up soon enough.

You spoken to the boys since earlier?

Nope. Radio silence.

Do you remember the first time
I caught you listening in on me?

How could I forget?

I thought I was gonna lose you forever.

You almost did.

Pretty sure I spent about
a week's salary on flowers

just to get you to talk to me again.

It was two,

and you got off easy because
I was still madly in love with you.

[Clark] Mm-hmm.

Well, any suggestions on how
to make things right with the boys?

Make them the same promise you made me.

You both were right.

I'm sorry.

No more listening in
on your conversations.

I give you my word.

Mom mentioned something about flowers.

What are the chances
of you raising my allowance?

[laughs]

Nice try.

We good?

Sure. Whatever.

How'd you like to interview
the keynote speaker

at this year's Harvest Festival?

Not sure puff pieces
are really my brand.

Well, around here, they sell papers.

I'm afraid not everything you write
for me

- is gonna change the world.
- [door opens]

[door closes]

[woman] This the paper
that just published that article

about Edge EnerCorp?

Yes, along with a great piece
on bird watching

and a pretty tricky crossword puzzle.

Ah, it wasn't that tricky.

Now, which one of you is calling around
New Carthage looking for a new story?

That would be me, Miss...

Powell. Sharon Powell.

Miss Powell, I'm Lois Lane.

Does this have anything
to do with Morgan Edge?

Yeah, you're damn right it does.

I'm hoping you can help me
nail that bastard's ass to the wall.

My son was a miner
at the Edge Facility in New Carthage.

- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.

[Sharon] He worked there six months.

Made good money, too. [chuckles softly]

He even sent some of it back home.

But that all changed the day Morgan Edge
offered him

the opportunity of a lifetime.

What kind of opportunity?

He was never too clear on that.

Derek had to sign a bunch of paperwork
keeping him quiet.

Why do you think
there was foul play involved?

[Sharon sighs]

[Derek on recording]
Hey, Mom. I wish I'd caught you.

This opportunity isn't
what I thought it was.

I'm not sure what's gonna happen,

so I just wanted you to know
that I loved you.

Bye.

That was the last time
I ever heard his voice.

I'm sorry.

[Sharon] Thank you.

[camera shutter clicking]

[Sean] You can't just break up with me.

Have you not been paying attention?

- [Sean] Come on.
- [Sarah] Don't.

Better learn to stay in your lane.

[Lana] One, two, three, four, five,
seven, eight.

One, two, three, four, five,
seven, eight.

One, two, three, four, five,
seven, eight.

What is with the timing?

- Sarah.
- What?

14 other girls
are working their butts off

and you're barely paying attention.

What's going on?

Relax, Mom.

Don't tell me to relax.

This is important.
What has gotten into you lately?

You know what, Mom? I quit.

How about that?

Sarah, get back here. Sarah!

- [whistle blows]
- [Gaines] Get 'em, boys!

Come on, boys.

Get your hands into it. Let's go.

Pick up that knee! Let's go!

- Uh, Kent, is that your brother?
- [Gaines] Come on. Let's go, people.

- Two hands on that ball.
- Hey, Pee-Wee, practice is on Saturday.

- [laughter]
- He's a walking Disney movie in cleats.

Hey, hey, hey. Hey.
Dude. What are you doing?

Trying out for the team.

That is a terrible idea
on so many levels. I can't even...

Since when did you become
such a pessimist?

I don't know.
Probably since I saw you in pads.

- Jordan, what about your powers?
- I'll go easy.

All right?

Do you even know how to do that?

Don't worry.

Now who wants to play some football?

[Gaines] In the middle.
In the middle, 13. Let's go.

Jordan.

It literally goes against everything
that we talked about with Dad.

You play for the team all the time.

What's the difference
if I give it a try?

Are you being serious?

What is this even about, Jordan?
You hate sports.

These guys think
they can push us around.

Well, guess what. I'm pushing back.

[whistle blows]

Let's go. Drive that through.
Drive, drive, drive!

Come on. Let's go, people.

All right.

When you came by earlier, I thought
the other coaches were pranking me.

Well, here you are.

All right.

[blows whistle]

Simon!

Go on, take some reps at the corner.

Go on.

Yes, Coach. Thank you, Coach.

It's not a military drill, Jordan.

You're gonna need to put that helmet on.

Let's go, people. Let's go!
Come on now. Let's go!

Pick up the pace.

[player] Red Eighty.

Red Eighty, set, hut!

[grunting]

[panting]

This is my lane now, bro.

[player] Set, hut.

[grunting]

Set, hut.

[whistle blows]

- [grunts]
- [all exclaim]

[whistle blows]

[grunts]

[whistle blows]

[Gaines] That's what I'm talking about.

- Thanks, Coach.
- Whoo!

Thank you. Thank you. Ah!

Uh-uh. [blows whistle]
Hey, where are you going, QB2?

Not so fast.

Excuse me, Coach?

You got the big cheese Ronnie Lott
for a little brother,

and you didn't say anything to me?

Someone's running today, smart ass.

You give me five
for keeping that from me.

Yeah, go on.

Pick up the pace or I'll put five on it.

[chuckles softly]

So when did you turn into
Mr. All American football player?

I've been practicing
in the backyard with Jon.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, for sure. Every day.

You two are very unusual people.

So I kind of heard you and Sean earlier.

It was long overdue. He's just...

everything I'm not looking for.

I'm sorry.

So you broke up with Sean then?

Well, aren't you super perceptive?

So that's why you walked
off the cheer squad earlier?

Ah, maybe.

We've been in school for what,
exactly like a week?

And it feels the exact same.

Have you guys ever just wanted
to change your everything?

- Yeah.
- Not until I moved here.

Uh, Sarah, your mom's coming in
at like an EF4 right now.

Hi, boys.

Hi, Mrs. Cushing.

Sarah, can I talk to you for a minute?

Whatever you wanna say,
you can say it right here.

Do you want to explain to me
what happened back there?

Isn't it obvious? I quit the team.

Mm-hmm. You don't need
to give me attitude.

Well, you don't have to hover
every single day.

Look, I'm just trying to keep you safe.

Because you think I'm gonna kill myself?

Okay, this is not the appropriate place
to be having this conversation.

How many times do I have
to tell you? I'm fine.

Can't you just trust that and back off?

I know you're not telling me
everything that happened.

[scoffs] That's hilarious,

coming from the most
full-of-crap lady in all of Smallville.

- [Lana] Okay, Sarah...
- [Sarah] No.

You act like our family's so awesome
when it's literally a dumpster fire.

- Enough.
- Dad sleeps on the couch every night.

Sophie bullies all of the kids
in her class,

and you can't go to bed
without taking a pill.

I said that's enough.

Look, grab your stuff. Let's go.

- Now!
- [scoffs]

- Lana?
- [Lana] Not now, Clark.

Is everything okay with Lana?

Not really.

Yeah, she just went
all scorched earth on Sarah.

Oh.

Well, your mom's working late,
so it's just us.

Anything exciting happen
at school today?

Actually, football practice
was pretty interesting.

- [Clark] Yeah?
- [Jordan] Yeah. Uh...

Jonathan got a couple of good reps in.

I really think Coach
is starting to take notice.

Yeah, there's just a little more
to it than that, but...

That's great.

Let's, uh, oh, celebrate with some
chili cheese fries.

I think Sharon Powell
might have given us our big break.

Or... And here's another theory,

that lady was half in the bag,

selling a conspiracy theory
about her son.

Did you smell her breath?

I'm aware she'd been drinking.

I looked into Derek Powell
while you were with his mom.

It turns out, the guy
has a pretty checkered past.

Even if that's true,
that voicemail was really compelling.

Out of context, sure.
But he never once mentioned Morgan Edge.

Maybe it was just a drug deal
gone wrong.

That is a stretch.

But a bazillionaire
making the guy disappear isn't?

At least give me the chance
to prove I'm right.

Look, this isn't the Daily Planet.

We don't have the resources to run
an investigation for weeks on end.

But you hired me to write
this kind of story.

- [explosion]
- [glass shatters]

[car alarm blaring]

I hate to ask, but you don't happen
to drive a station wagon

that's on fire right now, do you?

We've got this.

[indistinct chatter]

[Kyle] Real sorry about your car, Lois.

Morgan Edge was behind this, Kyle.

Hold on. You shouldn't go around
making baseless accusations like that.

It's not baseless. We just finished
talking to a source about him.

We still haven't verified those claims.

Y'all have a good night.

- Yo! Give it back.
- Hey, why'd you lie to Dad?

Why are you whispering?

I'm not whispering.

And I didn't lie to him.
I'm following his example.

Okay, well, now that
you've made your stupid point,

you're done playing football,
right?

No, the team needs me.

And besides, Coach Gaines
may even send me a valentine.

Jordan, football is my thing, not yours.

You don't own football, you egomaniac.

The only reason that you're even playing

is 'cause you have your little
super strength or whatever.

The only reason I'm playing

is 'cause your little football buddies
need to back off.

You're welcome.

And, besides,
I don't have super strength.

I'm just a little stronger than before.

Stop. What if someone gets hurt?

You know, I'm getting a little tired
of everyone treating me

like I'm some sort of ticking time bomb.

[chuckles]

You know Dad's gonna find out.

So what? I'm not doing anything wrong.

Guess you got nothing
to worry about then.

Thought you could use this.

I made a total fool of myself
accusing Edge like that.

It's an honest mistake.

We have been here for a week,

and somebody has already tried
to blow up my car.

[chuckles softly]

Look, folks in Smallville,
they're good people.

Don't let what happened today
change that.

Besides, it's not like
it's your first Molotov cocktail.

I just feel like everyone here
has their walls up.

Maybe I should just hand the story off
and mend some fences.

- What's your gut telling you?
- That there's more to this.

Then you have to dig deeper.

[chuckles]

Listen, I will support
whatever decision you make.

I just want you to be able
to live with it.

- I love you.
- Still?

Thanks for the flowers.

- Hey.
- Paperwork is all signed.

Ah, great.

Listen, Clark. About yesterday...

Oh, no. No need to apologize.

It's just, Sarah quit cheer
out of nowhere,

and I suddenly feel like
my whole family is falling apart.

[laughing]

- Can you walk?
- Uh, yeah.

Oh, I left my keys in the...
It's Smallville.

It's Smallville? [laughing]

Uh, and I doubt that, by the way.

Well, of course you do.

I mean, that's the image
I've worked so hard to put out there.

And the truth is,
Kyle and I barely talk.

When we do, we're yelling at each other.

And Sophie...
God, Sophie's just become mean,

and Sarah, I just feel like
I'm losing Sarah.

Hmm, don't be so sure.

Really hard to know
what they're thinking at this age.

Oh, God. Part of me wants to know

and the other part of me is terrified
at what I might find out.

Yeah. I miss having Mom around
to help with this sort of thing.

She would be so happy
to know you're finally home.

And at least the boys are
finally settling in.

I hear Jordan's quite the football star.

I think you mean Jonathan.

No.

It's time to get locked and loaded.
Let's go. You ready?

That's where the rubber meets the road.

You ready?

Sean, you're up.

Who do you want?

- I want short stack, Coach.
- Short stack.

- All right.
- [boys clapping and exclaiming]

Time to lock horns, gentlemen.

You ready?

[boys grunting rhythmically]

[Gaines] You ready?

[blows whistle]

[boys exclaiming]

That's what I'm talking about!

[applause]

[panting]

I shouldn't have kissed Sarah.

It wasn't cool. I apologize.

[Gaines] All right.

[applause]

Yeah. Thanks.

[Gaines] The team that plays together
stays together.

All right. Who's next up?

[Clark] How could you possibly think
it was okay to join the football team?

You didn't say it wasn't.

No, no, don't, don't do that.
I see what you're doing.

As long as you don't mention it,
it's not a lie, right?

Your father apologized for that.

Your powers are not something
to be taken lightly, Jordan.

Yeah, well, I barely have any,
remember?

That's what Grand Pabbie told us
at Elsa's Ice Castle.

That's not funny.

He was only comparing your powers
to mine.

No, he said my powers suck.
Don't act like he didn't.

I admit taking you to see him this early
was a mistake.

Mistake?

You know what?
Everything you do is a mistake.

You get fired, you bring us here...

You know, I just wish you would go back
to not being around anymore.

- Go upstairs.
- Yeah.

- Right now.
- Yeah.

[door slams shut]

Uh, I'm with you guys.
I don't know what he was thinking.

You too.

Hmm, come on, boys.

Sarah.

Would you please sit down
and have dinner with the rest of us?

[Sarah] No.

[door closes]

[clatters]

- He didn't mean all that.
- You sure?

He's 14. He was lashing out.

I'm not saying that
that makes it acceptable,

but we can't take everything
he says at face value.

And how am I supposed
to know what he needs?

All I'm saying is, maybe figure out
the reason behind Jordan's anger

and address that.

You going somewhere?

Yeah. Turns out Miss Powell's son

isn't the only worker
who's gone missing.

There's three other employees
I can't account for.

- So you were right.
- Looks like it.

We're meeting in New Carthage
to go over it all.

So I'm gonna need to borrow your truck.

- You gonna bring it back?
- 50-50.

[hip-hop song playing]

You should be glad Dad found out.

Now you can just go back
to hanging out with Sarah

and listening to El-P remix Morrissey,
or whatever.

Morrissey's a xenophobic has-been.

Well, you hate football, right?
So, who cares?

- You don't have to pretend anymore.
- Yeah.

[cell phone vibrating]

[door opens]

[door closes]

You were right.
I should have said something.

That's my bad.
I know I'm not a perfect person.

[Clark chuckles]

Trust me. We all make mistakes.

Yeah, but what if Jordan joining
the team wasn't a mistake?

I'm not sure I see your point.

Trust me, this...
this feels really weird to say,

but maybe Jordan needs football.

I mean, he's been a really messed-up kid
for a really long time.

And, I don't know, what if
joining the team is a good thing?

I appreciate you sticking up
for your brother...

No. Look. It's not even like that.
You should have seen him out there.

He's making friends.

He's been happy
for the first time in forever.

[Clark sighs]

Jonathan, there's nothing I want more
than for you guys to be happy.

But we have to be careful.

And him using his strength like this,
it could raise suspicion.

Yeah, but he doesn't have
super strength like you.

That's what Jor-El-DeBarge said, right?

Just because his strength isn't like
mine doesn't mean it's not elevated.

Okay, so maybe that puts him
on the level of the other kids.

Okay, maybe he's a little stronger,

but maybe that does even
the playing field for a kid his size.

- You don't know that.
- Neither do you.

I know that having powers
is a total game changer,

but what's the point
of having something special

if you're not actually
allowed to be special?

[brakes squeal]

[faint clattering]

[bottles clinking]

[door hinges creaking]

Sharon?

[music playing]

[video playing indistinctly]

[Lois grunting]

Oh, that won't help you.

No. But he will.

- [beeps]
- [whooshing]

Sharon. Sharon.

[Superman grunting]

Sharon, wake up. Sharon.

Sharon! Superman!

Superman!

- He's gone. Are you okay?
- She's barely breathing.

You need to take her to the hospital.
I'll be fine.

[panting]

[upbeat music playing over earphones]

[knocks on door]

Come in.

I heard about Sean.

Nothing travels faster
than Smallville gossip.

Honey, I'm here
if you want to talk about it.

I'm fine.

I just can't tell anymore.

Ever since last summer,

I have no idea
if I might lose you forever.

[sighs]

I'm okay, Mom. I promise.

It's just...

We used to be so close.

And now there's this distance.

When am I gonna know
that you're really okay?

Because I'll tell you.

I've been telling you the truth
this whole time.

Not about why it happened.

Honey, you can quit cheer,

and you can keep me
at arm's distance if you want.

But please, I need to know
why it happened.

I just felt trapped.

By this town. By this family.

Everything was getting so bad
and I just never saw myself escaping.

It was like the only future that I saw
for myself was

a life that I didn't want.

You saw yourself turning into me.

- That's not what I meant.
- No, it's okay. It's true.

I'm the most full-of-crap lady
in Smallville.

[laughs]

And most days when I'm smiling,
that's not now I feel inside.

I feel lost.

Why do you pretend?

[sighs] It's how I was raised.

Always smile at your neighbor.

[sniffles] Never let them
see the hurt inside.

I don't really think that's healthy.

Yeah.

[sniffles] I think you're right.

Do you know what kind of life
would make you happy?

I don't know.

I guess I'm figuring it out.

Yeah, me too.

Come here.

I love you so much.

[door opens]

[Clark clears throat]

So, is creepy lurking
one of your super powers now?

Come on. I want to show you something.

When I was in ninth grade,

I wanted to try out
for the baseball team,

but my dad didn't let me.

I begged him over and over,
but he always said no.

So you never even tried out?

I came close.

Showed up at the field and everything.

But at the last minute I realized

one of the main reasons
I wanted to try out

didn't have anything
to do with baseball.

Was it a girl?

It's always a girl.

So did you regret not playing?

Yeah, I did.

Now it's been over 20 years
and I still think about it.

Which is why I need you
to be very honest with me.

Is playing football something
that you really want?

[sighs]

To be honest,
at first I wasn't sure or anything,

but these last couple of days,
they've kind of just been incredible.

And you're sure you can keep
your powers under control?

Yes. I'm...

I don't know how to explain it.
It's just a feeling.

I guess you would know.

Yeah.

Yeah, I think I do.

Wait. Does this mean I can play?

- It does.
- Really?

Yes, but there's one last thing
we have to talk about.

You want to be an assistant coach?

I just want to help out.

I don't know if you know this,

but I was actually the team manager
back in high school.

Linkedln résumé notwithstanding,
you're a little late.

We've been staffed-up since the summer.

Well, you see, the thing is,
with both my boys on the team now,

I'd really just like to find a way
to spend more time with them.

Take 'em camping, rent a canoe,
make some s'mores.

Look, I promise I won't get in the way.
I'll do whatever job you need.

Not to mention he'll work for free.

You should've started with that, Kent.

- [Clark] Oh. [chuckles]
- [laughs]

[Gaines] Welcome to the team.

Bring that cooler,
meet me on the sidelines.

[door opens, closes]

- Thanks for the assist.
- Are you sure about this?

No. But I've got to try.

All right, I got to run.
See you later, Coach.

So your dad did a 180
on the whole football thing?

Got a little help from Jon.

Well, uh, I can neither confirm
nor deny, but I will say that

let's just assume you owe me now.

- Jonathan, you ready?
- Yeah. Oh!

- See you guys later.
- Bye.

Um, so, Friday's gonna be
your first game?

Yeah, um...

You quit the cheer team.
Are you still gonna go?

Do you want me to?

- I mean...
- Yeah.

Yeah. [hesitates]

It might be fun to see you
as a bystander.

Your dad seems like
he's really struggling.

[Jordan] Oh, yeah.
That's our new assistant coach.

- [Sarah] Do you need any help, Mr. Kent?
- [grunts]

Hi, Sarah. I'm great.

Hey, Coach gave me a jacket,
and I bought a hat.

- [Sarah] I...
- Um...

- I'll... I'll see you...
- Have fun at practice, guys.

- Bye.
- See you, Sarah.

- Looks like you guys are getting along.
- All right, all right.

Just pretend like you need my help
with this, all right?

Yeah. I really have to be like...
[groans]

Is it too much?

- No.
- All right.

Lois, I need to apologize to you.

I mean, after what happened
to Sharon Powell last night,

- I feel like such an idiot.
- Chrissy...

It's just... I've never had something
like this fall in my lap before.

Stories this important don't usually
happen in Smallville.

But see, that's where I was wrong.

Stories like this happen
in small towns everywhere.

Stories that need to be told,
but they get missed

because there aren't enough reporters
looking for them.

Come on. Let me show you what
I've been working on.

- Where'd you get this?
- From the gas station near the motel.

This feels big, doesn't it?

Yeah.

Now it's up to us
to put it all together.

Who are you, and why is a person
with powers working for Morgan Edge?

[man] No,
Superman saved Powell's mother.

Well, how is Larr gonna take care of it?

[tires screech]

It's done. I'll call a team.
