You had an ocular release of energy.

You almost hurt a bunch of kids.

My dad said it was

- Is that your brother?

I hear Jordan's quite the football star.

What? That he's good at football?

He has powers, and you didn't tell me.

All right, well, it'll probably

never even happen again.

Bottom line, he doesn't have powers.

We just wanna keep an eye on him.

That's why you moved to Smallville?

No... well, yeah, sort of.

And now he's playing football?

Mistake.

The Kent family needs
to fly under the radar.

My sons need to live their lives.

Dad, Clark and I can handle this.

Clark? How is he helping?
By coaching the team?

He's involved,

which is a hell of a lot
more than you ever were.

I don't like his priorities changing.

It's called being a father.

Coaching my sons, yes.

And there are nutjobs who
wanna kill me all the time.

You need to understand,

the military is terrified of you.

They note any change in routine.

I'm the one keeps them in check.

Yes, and we are grateful for that.

Moving out of Metropolis
raised a red flag.

Nobody's seen you in the skies.

Crime groups like Intergang

are already planning
an uptick of activity.

The higher-ups wanna transfer

high-risk inmates out of
Metropolis Penitentiary.

Why? Because if Superman's not around,

the site is more vulnerable to attack.

So what? Is he supposed
to babysit a prison?

Show of good faith.

Escort the transfer.

They're moving Thaddeus Killgrave,

radicalized off hating you.

If anything goes wrong, I will be there,

No. He's in national security mode.

It has to do with the assembly.

I was thinking that since
my article was shredded

the next best thing would be to
have Smallville's favorite son

show up and say some
words on behalf of justice.

Okay.

Well, when you put it that way,

Dad's too busy saving the world.

Look, he's not the only

You good?

Jordan,

what, uh,

what happened to Tag...

Don't try to tell me it wasn't my fault.

You saw the video.

My heat vision, it gave
Tag those powers...

No, that's not how it works.

- Yeah, you don't know that.
- You're right. I don't.

I don't know how or why
any of this is happening, okay?

And the truth is,

um...

I've honestly been
really jealous about all of it.

And I'm sorry about that,

but, Jordan, look, I do know this.

You would never hurt anyone. Ever.

So whatever happened,

it was an accident, okay?

It was an accident.

So where's Tag now?

He's with the doctors at the DOD.

And apparently, they're taking
really good care of him.

Did they say I did this to him?

I had a team analyze
that cell phone footage.

Your heat vision caused a blast,

but there was another
material present...

a yellow phosphorescence.

We think that may have triggered

the boy's meta-human development.

Can we see him?

Well, son, DOD protocols
are pretty strict.

24/7 monitoring, cover
stories, transferring.

What your grandpa's
trying to say is that

he's gonna go to a special school

for kids with these sorts of abilities.

Wait, there's a special school
for kids with powers?

- That's pretty cool.
- No, it's not.

How many of these kids are there?

That's classified, but let's just say...

Dad.

Look, guys, we have to
be clear on something.

Why did you wait so long to use the ELT?

Why didn't you call me
the minute you knew

something was wrong?

Look, I may have misspoke.

"Misspoke"?

You cannot tell the boys
not to come to me for help.

My point was to help them

see the life-and-death
stakes of your job.

My job is I'm their dad. That's my job.

You're not just their dad.

You're the most important
person in the world,

and now that they know
that, they need to respect

the obligation that comes with it.

I have to respect that obligation! Me.

And believe me, I live
with it every day.

- Then act like it.
- Stop!

Stop it!

This is the same toxic
"honor above all else" crap

you used to pull on me when I was a kid.

Lois, please. This isn't about us.

No, it's about you and
your parenting choices,

and how they sucked
then and they still suck,

and we're not gonna be
applying them to our boys.

I made a choice to dedicate
my life to the armed service.

You could have done both.

That's what Clark is doing,

he can't be the father he is

'cause you never
bothered to give it a go.

You keep pushing us, you won't
be welcome here anymore.

Fine.

I'll get my things.

I have a long drive ahead of me.

Um...

Dad's making pancakes.

He hasn't burnt a single one yet.

- Don't jinx me.
- Yeah, he's on a roll.

Figured I'd let you
sleep in a little bit.

Thank you.

Dinosaur pancakes, huh?

Yeah, it's kind of
like my one specialty.

That's not true.

You got dinosaur pancakes

and you work your tail off
