Previously on "Superman and Lois"...

I've known about the double mastectomy since day one.

It just feels like every day I lose something.

You'll still be you.

You looked annoyed that I came to talk to you

when you were with him.

Stop making me feel weird whenever I'm around you.

Sometimes I really wish I never fell in love with you.

- Sheriff! - Sheriff!

Go! Go!

We're gonna charge her with a DUI.

- Somebody saved us. - Junior.

There's no way we could have just gotten out.

Is that Superman?

This Superman is how I found the cure to save your mom.

Your mother's dying. She needs you.

The cure, it works.

Come on, Kent. I know he's got powers.

I know it was him. - No, it wasn't.

I'll explain it all to you tomorrow.

She's gone.

- You did it. - We did it.

Where is it coming from?

Someone get me eyes on the shooter!

This is Peia.

There are no bullets!

These fake attacks keep happening.

When's this gonna stop, Superman?

I'm working on it.

Any sign of Peia?

Seems like she's everywhere.

Whatever cure she got from Mannheim

must have kicked her powers up tenfold.

It's throwing me off.

I can't tell where she and Bruno are hiding.

If you don't figure it out soon,

I'm worried someone's gonna get hurt.

We need to stop her!

There will be a little discomfort.

But once this is done, you'll be all prepped

for tomorrow's surgery.

Now, once you're numb, I'll be using ultrasound

to locate the problematic lymph nodes,

then injecting a tiny radar reflector.

So you can biopsy it during surgery

and find out if the chemo's been working--I got it.

You all set for your recovery?

Bags are packed. Boys are prepping the house.

And, uh, tonight we're hosting some friends

for her last meal before the surgery.

I know how scary this is-- having a bilateral mastectomy.

But I promise, I'll do everything I can

to get the surgery done right.

- Thanks. - So will I.

The subway car is almost ready...

get us to the plane.

This time tomorrow, we'll be halfway around the world.

House on the beach...

that was always your mother's dream.

Sir? A word.

Yeah.

All I ever wanted was for you to have a normal life.

Now, because of what you did for me--

Mom, it's okay. It was worth the risk.

You gave up being with Natalie.

But I got you back.

And you're finally healthy again,

for the first time in I don't know how long.

That's what matters. - Mm.

What did I ever do to deserve you?

You dealt with Dad for so long.

Matteo, come give us a hand.

Yes, sir.

It just--wow, you know, like, you're Superman.

But you were always such, like, a wiry little kid

in high school, though. - Yep.

It doesn't make any sense.

Um, by the way, I-I really appreciate you not--

not lasering my ass that time that I, uh...

pantsed you in gym class.

Maybe we just, uh, don't do it again.

Hey, those days are long gone.

Okay.

Um, so all I ask is that you keep

everything I just told you a secret.

Oh, y-yeah. Yeah, of course.

Uh, anything you say, Superman.

Ah, let's, uh--let's just stick with Kent.

Got it.

- Um... - Yeah.

Crazy, right?

Babe, I went flying.

Oh, my God, it killed me not to tell you that.

I am so glad that you finally know

and we can put all this behind us.

Yeah, except, uh, I already did know, right?

And when I went to talk to you about it,

you acted like I was crazy.

Babe, I-- you heard Clark.

I had to protect the secret.

Okay, still doesn't change the fact that you lied to me.

Kyle.

This--this is funny to you?

You made me feel stupid.

I didn't have a choice.

See, I-I've said those exact words,

you know, several times,

always with the best of intentions,

and it never ended well.

Kyle, you are overreacting.

Oh, I really don't think I am.

Oh--

We'll be right down, Lana.

Please, can I just go home?

No chance.

Until you earn my trust back, where I go, you go.

Because of me, Dad figured out Mr. Kent's secret,

and Jordan's so angry, he won't even answer my texts.

I spoke to Clark. It's all good.

And if you want to make up with Jordan, just go talk to him.

- Hey. - Hey, Lana.

- Hi. - Good seeing you.

Hey, sweetie.

So Lois told me everything that's going on.

Are you doing okay?

As long as the Mannheims are free, no one is safe.

They can't run forever.

Uh, that's for another time.

Tonight is all about Lois.

- Amen. - Smells great.

Uh, what's on the menu? - You know, a little, uh...

- Bazoombas? - Yes.

Lois has a great sense of humor.

She does.

- I smell Bazoombas. - Yeah, you do.

♪ Come back to mine, to mine ♪

♪ I found a list of things I never told you... ♪

I know what Matteo did was wrong, but...

now he's just gone.

I really miss him.

That really sucks. I'm sorry.

You know, even if it's just to say goodbye,

I just want to talk to him one more time...

tell him how I feel.

I'll be right back.

Okay. Why are you being like this?

I said I was sorry.

You're only sorry because I saved your life.

And that's why you feel bad about what you said to me.

No, it was a stupid fight,

and we both said things that we didn't mean.

I meant everything I said.

Oh, come on, Jordan, that's--

I thought we were friends.

So did I.

Okay, um, well, good luck at the hospital.

My mouth is on fire.

These Tallahassee hot wings are not screwing around.

They're actually not that bad.

See? It's what they're known for--the wings.

The wings.

This is perfect.

I wasn't sure I was gonna be able to face tomorrow,

but I feel ready.

Thank you. - I love you.

Yeah.

Oh, who would have thought Bazoombas would make me cry?

Phone?

You're enjoying this part way too much.

Yeah.

How are you feeling, Miss Lane?

- I'm ready. - Good.

Dr. Lincoln and the team are on the way.

- Dishwasher's clean. - Oh, gosh.

I didn't see you there.

Honey, what are you doing up so early?

I can't sleep.

Hey.

Hey.

Talk to me.

Jordan hates me.

That is physically not possible.

He hates me, and he should, I mean...

because I ruined everything.

I messed up my car, our friendship,

I mean, my whole life.

A DUI stays on your record for five years.

How am I gonna apply to college?

I don't know...

but we will figure this out together.

There's nothing to figure out.

I mean, my life is basically over now.

I'm never getting out of Smallville.

Um, I am...

gonna reach out to Dr. Lawrence

and see if she can fit you in. - I don't want to see her.

It's really important to talk this through.

Okay, honey? It'll help.

If you want me to see the shrink, fine,

but it's not gonna undo everything

that I just did, Mom.

Sarah...

- What are you doing here? - You tracked my suit.

Of course you did.

Are you meeting him?

Is he here? - No.

But I was hoping he might be.

Matteo is gone. He made his choice.

But it's not that simple. He was just helping his mom.

He broke the law.

I mean, what he did wasn't that bad.

Tell that to the DOD

or the people of Metropolis who are scared

because of what Matteo unleashed into this world.

How could you possibly think that's okay?

You need to let him go, Nat.

But I still love him.

I can't just turn my back on someone I love

'cause they made a mistake.

This is not about him.

This is about you.

If they find Matteo, they're gonna send him away

to a DOD facility for a long time.

And if they don't find him,

you're gonna be left waiting around for a ghost.

I know what it's like to be stuck in the past, Bug.

I don't want that for you.

Maybe you're right.

It happens from time to time.

Come on.

Last one home makes the pancakes.

Looks like the whole family's here.

I'm Dr. Lincoln, and I'll be performing your mom's surgery.

Dr. Brennan is our anesthesiologist,

and we'll also have our fellow, Dr. Lee,

and nurse practitioner, Abigail,

with us in the operating room.

Are we supposed to remember all their names?

Do you have any questions for us?

Uh, yeah, I got one.

Um, what's the deal with, uh, aspiration?

Lois hasn't eaten since last night,

so it's highly unlikely that--

Her entire diagnosis was unlikely.

So what will you do

if my daughter starts choking during surgery?

Dad--

There are risks with any surgery,

but the greater risk would be not to perform a mastectomy.

Uh, uh, I-I can't do this.

I got it.

Hey, man. Are you good?

- I-I can barely breathe. - Okay, okay.

- That's just a panic attack. - No, no, this is weird.

Okay, okay, come on, deep breaths, just like we used to.

Can you breathe in and hold?

And out. Good.

It's not working. - Okay, try again.

- Hey, is he okay? - I-I don't--

I-I can't close my eyes.

Dude, they're closed.

Your X-ray vision's coming in.

How--how do I make it stop? How do you make it stop?

Okay, Jordan, Jordan, time to calm down.

Time to calm down, okay?

For Mom. - Okay. Okay.

We're going to do this at the same time.

Okay.

I want you to breathe in...

And hold and out.

Good. Again.

And hold.

Okay, we are on our way.

Train's ready.

Thank you for never giving up on me.

Forever and always.

Ugh. Which one of us is in high school again?

You.

Get used to it.

There'll be more of that where we're going.

Mom? Mom?

Mom, it's okay.

Everything okay?

Yeah, all good.

What is that?

Dad, what's happeningto her?

Peia.

Day's off to a great start.

Okay, great, everything's...

out again.

Entire city's down-- power, phone, internet.

Hospital generators are shielded

against a surge like that.

Still knocked half of them offline.

The Mannheims must be somewhere nearby.

Peia's sound attacks have stopped.

She's quiet for the first time since she escaped.

Pumpkin, I'm sorry, but I got to call John Henry,

meet him at the DOD, try to get ahead of whatever this is.

Peia knows today's my surgery.

We talked about it before she broke out.

What are you thinking, she's trying to hurt you?

No. If she wanted to kill me, she could have.

This is something else.

The surge and now this silence...

So you think Peia's losing control?

I don't think Bruno's cure worked.

Dad, what's wrong with her?

It's okay.

She just needs another dose of the cure.

Where are the vials? - In cold storage on the train.

- Oh! - Then get them out!

Don't worry. You're okay.

Dad's got this.

- We need to talk. - Not now, Lana.

- Yes, now. - Hey--

Jeez, did you and Chrissy get in an argument or something?

Whatever, it's not my business.

Kyle, Sarah's in trouble.

That tends to happen when you get a DUI.

What'd you expect? - Would you just listen to me?

There is something really wrong with Sarah,

and I need your help.

Okay.

O-o-okay, you just t-tell me what happened.

She was up all night,

spiraling about the car, Jordan.

I haven't seen her like this...

not since...

Okay, we--we should go.

Bro, you're acting

like something terrible just happened.

'Cause it did.

How are you not stoked?

You have X-ray vision.

Why do my powers always come out at the worst possible time?

Okay, you know what happens to me

when I'm in a really bad spot?

Nothing.

I'm just still in a really bad spot,

and I don't get some superpower.

You should consider yourself lucky.

What if it happens during Mom's surgery

and I can't turn it off this time?

Bro, you have to chill.

This is why your powers come up at random times.

You need to try and relax

and breathe and just let go.

And I'm-- I'm sure you'll be fine.

Can you do that?

Right. Yeah. Yeah, you're right.

Thank you.

Oh, but I'm never looking over there again.

Some lady just gave birth to triplets.

The generators are online,

and we're ready to go, if you still are.

Yes.

Uh, with all that's gone on,

maybe we should consider rescheduling.

It took everything I had to psych myself up for this.

I don't think I can do it again.

Right.

But if that sound happens again--

Clark, you wanted a perfect day for my surgery?

Well, good or bad, this is what we have.

Can you make it work?

Of course I can.

Then let's get this over with, please.

Dad, you have to hurry!

Almost there.

It's all right.

Dr. Hook said you might need another dose.

Better.

See? You're gonna be fine.

Dad, she needs a doctor! The cure isn't working!

It will!

I can fix this.

- Aah! - Get me another vial!

No!

I'm getting her help.

Dad, I'm getting her help.

Matteo! Matteo!

Matteo.

- We went too far. - Peia...

I didn't-- I didn't want any of this.

This is not your fault.

You just need more of the cure.

It's over.

You have to stop.

Peia!

Bruno, you can't save me.

Peia, no.

No. Wait.

You got this.

So do you.

We love you, Mom.

We'll be here when you wake up.

Okay, um, I've got to check in at the DOD.

Are you guys good to stay here?

- Don't worry, Dad. - We'll make sure Mom's okay.

I still can't get a location on that last sonic disturbance.

Tell me some good news.

- Lois just went into surgery. - She what?

It was her choice. I promised her we could handle this.

We know the Mannheims are still somewhere in Metropolis.

Or at least Peia is.

What on Earth did Bruno do to her?

I don't know, but we need to find them

before it's too late.

Oh, come on.

Come--

Come on, something's got to be working!

Matteo Mannheim.

Who's there?

Scanning voice print.

Identity confirmed.

Natalie Irons will be arriving in three, two...

Nat?

Are you here to arrest me?

What? No, I've been worried sick about you.

Are you okay?

It's my mom. Something's wrong with her, and I--

Was it from the cure you gave her?

Look, I didn't know, okay?

My dad told me it would work, and it didn't,

and now he won't even listen to--

Okay, calm down. I'm here now.

We'll figure it out.

Get away from my son.

Look, this is gonna be tough,

but, uh, we need to have a talk...

as a family.

Your father and I are worried about you.

Yeah, I'm--I'm worried about me, too.

Hey, look, I...

I know what it's like to make a mistake

that feels like the end of the world.

And he's not just talking about the affair.

My problems started back when I was your age...

when I started drinking.

Dad, I'm-- I'm not an alcoholic.

No, I-I know.

That's not what this is about, okay?

It's--it's about the sadness.

You know, for a while there, my--my life felt like, um...

just one bad decision after another.

I lost your abuelita when I was young.

And I couldn't keep up with school.

About the only time I felt like I wasn't a screwup is...

when I was drinking, ironically.

And then I made the worst decision of all...

and it cost me dearly.

And that's when I knew I hit rock bottom.

I knew I had to make a change.

The hardest part is,

I don't even know if I'm at rock bottom.

It's just really scary

to think about things getting even worse.

Well, look, the only one who gets to decide

where you are, mi'jita, is you.

Truth be told...

sometimes I still feel like I'm falling.

But I look at the ground beneath my feet,

and I know why I'm here on this Earth...

you know, to help my town...

to be your dad.

And that gets me through...

every single time.

Yeah, but...

I don't know what I want to do.

Well, look, for starters,

you can just put down whatever it is you don't need--

you know, your--your guilt, your fears.

Replace all that with something that gives you purpose,

you know, something...

that gives you a sense of responsibility...

something like, uh...

Seriously?

- Baby steps. - Mom.

It's a long journey, mi'jita...

but you got to start somewhere.

I'll only say it one more time.

Step away from my son.

No, you don't understand. I'm here to help.

What are you gonna do--kill me?

Do it.

Show the kind of man you really are.

- Dad? Dad? - Look, Mr. Irons.

Mr. Irons, Mr. Irons, wait, wait, wait, please, please.

It's my mom. She needs help.

Where is she?

Look, I know how this feels.

You don't have much time,

so stop wasting it fighting me...

and let us help you.

It's Mom.

Come on. We got to get to the roof.

Can't stop now.

Do everything you can to keep the patient stable.

Is Mom okay?

For now.

Somebody get me a damn reading.

Where the hell is she?

Got her.

Peia!

Stay away from me!

Let me help you!

You can't, Superman.

No one can now.

No!

Peia.

We have to get to her. We got to do something.

Dad. Dad.

Fly me. Fly me to her.

Natalie, please.

You can't be near her right now--you'll die.

I'm sorry.

Dad. - Come here.

It's okay.

Can Superman do anything?

I don't know.

Keep her steady.

Mom.

- Is she doing okay? - Yeah.

Superman...

you don't get her out of there,

she's gonna bring down the whole block.

Peia!

It hurts! It hurts so much.

Just concentrate on my voice!

Matteo and Bruno...

I can't leave them, not like this.

It's okay, Peia!

It's okay!

They wouldn't want you to suffer.

It's okay to let go.

- Okay, okay. - Mom, Mom.

Mom.

Please don't... please don't--

She wanted me to tell you...

she'll love you both...

forever and always.

Mom.

How you feeling?

Like a toy doll that's been broken and put back together.

But I'm glad it's over.

I'm proud of you.

Dr. Lincoln said there were major tremors during surgery.

Is everything okay?

You were right about Peia.

The cure didn't work.

She lost control of her powers.

It was like Metropolis's version of the big one.

How did you stop her?

I didn't have to.

- What happened? - Lois--

What happened?

In the end, I was the only one who could get to her...

so I told her it was okay to let go.

Tried to make those last moments

as easy for her as possible.

I'm glad she had you there.

God, they really need to update these things.

There's so 1950s.

Yeah, it's a Smallville icon right there.

Go ahead.

I'll meet you in the car.

Thank you for doing this.

Yeah, of course.

I mean, if my mistakes can help her even a little bit,

then I guess something good came from them.

Hmm.

I think you ought to take your own advice.

I'm not sure I follow.

Yeah, you do.

Good night, Kyle.

Okay.

Um...

so, look, I-I've, uh...

I've been working on being a better man, you know?

And--and I-I think I'm making a lot of progress.

I do.

But sometimes I'm still a jackass.

And, uh...

you're right.

I overreacted.

Well, I knew you'd figure it out sooner or later.

And you might be a jackass...

But you're not an idiot.

Now, how about you get over here and make it up to me?

Yes, ma'am.

I think it's time we talk about next steps

for you and your son.

I'll tell you everything...

in exchange for Matteo's charges being dropped.

Dad, what are you doing?

I'm taking responsibility for my actions

so you can live the life you deserve.

Promise me my son will be looked after.

You have my word.

And I know exactly what kind of man you are.

So do we have a deal?

Real white-glove service there.

Nothing but the best for you, babe.

What?

You amaze me.

I was unconscious.

You were the one out saving Metropolis.

Seeing Peia at the end,

knowing that's what you've been fighting this whole time...

It just really hit home.

I couldn't have gone through this surgery without you.

We do make a pretty good team.

Ow.

You okay?

Just gonna be in pain for a while.

Well, until you're better,

I'm gonna do everything I can to make sure

I take the best careof you.

I know.

I love you.

Love you, too.

Greg, move your head.
