"Superman & Lois"...

Your mom wanted us
to move to Smallville.

- It's a simpler life.

- What does Morgan Edge
want with Smallville?

- He's retrofitting
the coal mines.

- He's gonna put a lot of folks
back to work around here.

- That ship brought me
to Earth.

I had certain powers.

- You're saying
you're Superman?

- That's my girlfriend!
- Back off!

- I felt something
come over me.

The only remnants of
your real home are kryptonite.

- I'll start the upgrades

Captain Luthor.

- What can you say about
leaving a place you loved?

a thousand questions

about how to solve this problem

a mistake by moving here?

We just have a lot
of questions to answer...

Like what are you gonna do
about "The Planet"?

I've never been
rewritten before.

with that story,

I haven't seen that look
in your eye in a long time...

and I know this family
is closer this week

than we were last week,

so it's okay if we've got
a lot of questions.

We're gonna find
the answers together.
