Re:cap, last ep, Superman’s mother, Lara reveals to him that the underground threat is otherwordly. Lana runs for mayor. Jonathan believes that the sudden strength of his teammate, Ron, was due to steriods. Could he be a candidate for Lt. Anderson’s Threat Reduction Agency? Sarah reveals to Jordan that in summer camp, she kissed a girl, which she says was just a casual thing. Jordan walks away. Superman is floating above the Earth, this is as powerful, as Superman Returns (2006). He struggles with something that makes his temples glow and crashes to Earth! At the barn, Clark explains the situation, John Henry says he will go to the mines.
In his room, Jonathan looks over pic of Ron on his cell phone, they talk about the situation with Sarah. Natalie drops in and gives her perspective, Jonathan agrees especially when he compares it with the revealing of Jordan’s powers. Lana goes over some of her points with the family, Kyle and their younger daughter Sophie, she is worried, but Kyle believes in her. Kyle is eager to get ready for Sarah’s quincinera. On tv, is “Inverse Theory”, the show hosted by Ally Allston (Rya Kihlstedt) watched by Lois. It's strange to have a cult the subject of this season since we had IRL problems with a Smallville actor, ripped from today's headlines or something else? Her father, Sam Lane (Dylan Walsh), says he is relaxing on a lake. As they are about to leave, Jordan wants to reveal his powers to Sarah, Clark is angry and has his heat vision eyes flare! Lois finishes her phone call, Sam is on the way, and she drives the family in the car.

At the farm house, Clark thinks over his angry, and Lois returns. Smallville High, Jordan is conflicted about his problems, and sees Sarah. Jonathan is obsessed about Timmy, she tells him that he took some kind of crystal at a party. Lana has a citizen’s meeting to talk about her ideas about small business loans to farms. One man, Chuck (Toby Hargrave), asks if she had reverse mortgage that made him lose his farm and her recruiting of people for Morgan Edge. Sam Lane says they will eventually have to tell Lt. Anderson. Lois shows him the podcast and wants him to talk to Lucy. He is protective of his baby girl. Football practice, Jonathan watches on the sidelines. Timmy tells Jonathan it is his girlfriend, Candace, who is selling the crystals. Jonathan tackles him and they get into a fight. A stray punch knocks down Clark! Another rage spell, he throws a football helmet into a wall, he blasts his heat vision into his hands, burning them!
His powers are out of control and Jonathan wants him back home. This reminds me of DC Comics Presents #85 (1978) where Superman’s powers suddenly shut off. Sam Lane is at the farmhouse, when Jonathan drives up with Clark, Lois asks him how he feels. Lois says he is feeling what the underground creature is feeling! An empathic bond? John Henry is taken to the mines by Dr. Faulkner. Lana is back home giving up. Natalie is getting no calls when Jonathan stops by to talk to her. They go off to play a game. The burn marks are fading on Clark’s hands. Lois tells him to apologize to his sons. She says, “Now is not the time to go all doomsday on me.” John Henry is searching the mines and finds blood on yellow crystals. They find the collapse and John Henry finds marks on crystals thinking it was an explosive. Dr. Faulkner knocks him out with her flashlight!

At the kitchen, Clark goes to speak to his sons, Jonathan doesn’t blame him. He only wants to learn how to drive the truck. Clark speaks to Jordan alone. He says that if anything would happen to Sarah, Jordan would feel worse. Clark promises Jordan can tell Sarah in a year. Dr. Faulkner sets explosives around the cave-in. Sam Lane tells Lois that he read her article. He says that after his wife went away, he concentrated on work, Lois tearfully says she wanted him around. I really like this development of General Sam Lane. He says he contacted Lucy and she will meet with her sister. Lana throws darts with a glass of wine when Sarah joins her. Sarah admits that she kissed a girl. Lana tells her that if Jordan doesn’t forgive her, he doesn’t deserve her. Sarah takes her mother away for her idea. Lois talks with Clark who feels like a failure. They kiss, and then Clark falls down at the creature breaking free, he flies away as Superman. Troops surround the creature in a containment suit, it’s Doomsday! He is not what you expect!, a misdirect? Superman and Lois has those dramatic, family moments mixed with a threat that is tearing up Superman!
Five Crystals out of Five!
