Superman & Lois, “Broken Trust”, Review!

 Superman & Lois continues with “Broken Trust.”  Tag has suddenly appeared, he was in the episode “Haywire”, and punches Jordan.  He comes after Jordan in a yellow suit striped with a yellow V, like the X-Men? Jordan suddenly hear a high-pitched sound.  Superman suddenly lands and sees Tag superspeed running next to a train.  He veers next to a train track and Superman lifts up the locomotive and heat visions the track, very impressive effects!  At the farmhouse, Lois checks on Jordan bashed up from the encounter.  Lois and Clark send away their kids to talk.  Clark says that her father said he is on the case.  Lois wants to investigate the mines.  She thinks it’s too much of a coincedence that the Stranger has shown up.  Morning, Jonathan’s spoon on his cereal bowl causes a seering pain for Jordan.  Clark wants Jordan to be careful at the football game.

At the mines, Morgan Edge makes an announcement to the miners.  Kyle is happy and Edge says he wants Lana on his Smallville team working on the community center.  Leslie wants to “deal with Lois”, but Edge says that Lois is helpless.  At the high school, Jonathan closing the locker causes another pain to his brother.  Sarah checks on Jordan and then the school bell goes off and he falls, his eyes start to burn red.  Jonathan takes his brother to the bathroom and Jordan admits he hears a “high-pitched noise.”  His brother worries about football, but of course this is more serious.  At the Cushing house, Lois meets with Kyle and Lana.  She wants to get access to the mines through him.  They both refuse to help Lois.  At the barn, Clark is about to have both brothers training given by their grandfather.  Clark reveals a massive log filled with fist impressions, he fails, then Jonathan says “imagine Cutter’s face” and he smashes the log.  


Clark gets a call from General Lane and he says that Tag was seen at the game.  Night, Lana is with Sarah looking for a sitter so she can celebrate her new job.  Sarah offers to sit for her sister.  Looking like a stalker is Tag watching outside the window.  The game is about to begin, Clark watching on the field, the coach sends in Jordan.  He gets the high pitched sound and the quarter back is sacked by the Metropolis Meteors.  Clark checks in with Lois and hasn’t seen Tag.  Jonathan wants the coach to send him in as quarterback!  Cutter (Samuel Braun) jokes to Jonathan that his former girlfriend, Eliza, is with him.  He gets plowed by Jordan.  Clark sends him to the benches.  Lois gets a knock at the door, she has the Superman signal, Marcus is there with badges.  Marucs bluffs their way into the mines.  Sarah is trying to work out something to watch and gets a door bell chime.  It’s Tag!  He shudders and then knocks Sarah out when she tries to close the door!

The Metropolis Meteors pile on Jordan, Jonathan scores the touchdown, and Jordan’s eyes start to flare.  Clark checks on him and uses his hands telling Jordan to unleash the power, it burns his hands.  This is a stunning scene with Clark taking the pain to help his son.  

Night, after their date, Kyle and Lana are at the kitchen.  Appears and Kyle finds that Sarah is not in her room.  Kyle checks the security cam footage.  At a hotel room, Clark chastizes his son, Jonathan says that there was an “episode” at school.  Jordan is still angry and doesn’t want to know his father has been through the same bullying.  Clark gets a call from Lana about Sarah.  Kyle shows Sarah the security footage of Tag.  Clark leaves and wants his sons to stay in the room.  Lois is surprised that Marcus has the right equipment.  Sarah wakes up and Tag tells her they are in Metropolis.  Marcus uncovers the crystals which he calls X-K.  Leslie appears and blasts at them with heat vision!  


Superman flies over Metropolis.  Jonathan and Jordan are bored.  They get the football players at the door.  Jordan convinces his brother to go along with the team.  In the mines, Marcus has a device, he zaps Leslie and they run.  Superman is isolating the sounds and finally hears Sarah’s voice.  Tag shows the video of Jordan and says he’s responsible for the flare at the bonfire.  Superman lands.  Cutter and the Metropolis players appear and he starts calling out Jordan.  Superman asks for trust and the DoD guards enter.  Jonathan tries to stop Jordan, still Jordan throws a fist at Cutter, Jonathan catches the fist!  There is the sound of broken bones, ouch!  The soldiers shoot at Tag, Superman deflects the bullets, and then Kryptonite rounds hit him!  He falls and then gets up with his eyes red with heat vision!  We later get Clark trying to explain why he holds back, every time that he is Superman he has to be in control, or he will break trust.  If you don’t understand Superman, watch this episode, now you know.  Another brilliant episode of Superman & Lois!   


Five Kryptonite Crystals out of Five!
