Superman and Lois returns!, gets to the truth behind Bizarro, plus Jonathan misusing the Yellow Kryptonite spray, and we have a revelation that could shatter a family! Re:cap last episode - Clark sees the Superman Bizarro defeat the Supermen of America team. Only Tag remains who takes away the pendant lost by the other Superman. Steel joins the battle, but his suit is still damaged and weak. Ther other Superman wounds John Henry and Superman right crosses the villain from the sky. Superman can see John Henry suffered brain trauma! Lois tells Natalie about her father in intensive care at the DoD base. She is angry at Superman. Kyle confronts the Mayor Dean who brings up his drinking problem. General Lane had helped Jordan keep his identity secret so Jordan wants training from him!
Kyle enters a bar with a bartender, Tonya Martinez (Cynthia Mendez), who flirts with him! Lois is trying to contact Chrissy and flashes back to confront Lucy over Ally. Chrissy gets a call from Ally! The title of the episode is a nod to the Neil Diamond 1967 song and also was recorded by Urge Overkill in 1992, used in Pulp Fiction (1994). It begins in “Metropolis - 1979”, a young girl, eight year old Ally (Amber Taylor), is given a candy by her Uncle David (Matthew Graham). They are told by Attorney John Pugh (Jim Thorburn) that a will has been made for a pendant to be given to young Ally to get her inheritance. Her uncle warns her that it killed her father. She spits out the candy and the lawyer speaks to Ally alone. The title has a double meaning with not only Sarah, but Ally?
The older Ally is given the pendant wanting for her special guest. Lois has banana muffins for Clark to bring to Natalie to see Tag. Lois brings up a mirror self and a shadow dimension which she sees a possible connection to Bizarro. She is having second thoughts about Ally. Jonathan and Jordan enter the kitchen and he asks their mother about John Henry who is out of the ICU. So Natalie won’t be able to make Sarah’s quinceañera (the celebration of her fifteenth birthday moving her to becoming a woman). Lois has people getting the barn ready. At the Cushing house, Kyle is practicing dancing with his daughter and then switches partners with Lana. Kyle ges a call from Tonya Martinez and he says is from work. Sarah is going to take (grandmother) abuelita’s name. She says her abuelito (grandfather) changed his last name from Cortez to Chandler to get a job. Kyle dances and hugs them both.

Tag is in the hospital bed still recovering when Superman asks for the pendant which he gave to Lt. Anderson. He thanks Superman. General Lane stops by and Jonathan is surprised. Jordan admits that he is being trained and General Lane brings in Jonathan to help. Lois has Chrissy angry at feeling she is working for Lois and has her secrets. Lois finds in the video on Ally, Dr. Faulkner. The doctor leaves her car and is seen by the telescopic vision of Bizarro! Superman sees Lt. Anderson who sent the Supermen of America who killed two of the members. He wants the pendant that he can detect touching it. Anderson notes that there is an energy field that may connect them. At the barn, General Lane sees the brothers doing pushups, then has Jonathan leave them.
Lana waits as Sarah puts on her stunning, black and pink quinceañera dress and she is unsteady on her high heels. A sweet mother daughter moment. Clark walks into the Smallville Gazette and Lois tells Lois that she is going to check out the mines. He says he wants to see her in the dress for Sarah’s quinceañera. At the Smallville Inn, Chrissy interviews Ally who says she was chosen for the Ascension. Chrissy had drunk tea drugged by Ally and a follower catches her. Lois heads to the trailer of Dr. Faulkner and sees the Bizarro Superman who flies away. Dr. Faulkner is on the ground with her head snapped, a disturbing sight for a prime time series! Lois watches as Superman arrives and sees Dr. Faulkner’s body. She finds a crumpled copy of Ascension.

Ally and associate wait as Chrissy wakens with the pendant, Ascended? Making a duplicate Chrissy? Jonathan enters the house and uses the Yellow Kryptonite inhaler! Jordan is using the punching bag when Jonathan enters. He wants to spar with his brother. Jordan faces Jonathan who strikes first, his brother recovers from his strike, throws a series of punches. Jonathan punches his brother down. A buelito Maryann Cushing (Carmen Aguirre) wants to take a picture of the family all dressed up and smiling. Chrissy tells them about the experience, a “Bizarro” version of herself. She says she saw Ally everywhere. Lois enters and then Superman. Lois says Faulkner was murdered. Superman hears the warning and Bizarro plows him across a wall! Lois, Chrissy, and Ally see the hole in the wall.
Bizarro is thrown against a building. He says in Kryptonian, “Get out of my way.” Superman stops him with several punches. Another sends him through several walls. Bizarro sends out his flame breath, countered by Superman’s frost breath, then trapped him with frost vision. Superman knows that Bizarro is his opposite. He uses Yellow Kryptonite crystals to strike his double. A record is played for the quinceañera to begin. I'm not certain if there has been a quinceañera on prime time shows, so here's a thanks to the network, producers, and show cast and crew for bringing this bit of culture to our homes. Jordan sees Sarah and can’t form words. Clark superspeeds into the house getting ready in his suit. Lois is ready, always the stunning couple. He says Bizarro is in the Fortress. Jordan dances with Sarah and finds that Jonathan is angry at him now. Clark and Lois are greeted by Kyle.

He gets a call from Tonya Martinez! Sarah and Jordan are relaxing outside. He admits that Jonathan had an argument. Sarah tells him about her depression and how she had suddenly changed. They kiss. Kyle sees outside Tonya who told her girlfriend about him. The story came out from Tonya. He is not doing well as a father on his daughter’s quinceañera. Kyle walks back and doesn’t know that his daughter and Jordan had been listening! I suspected the affair from last episode, but my mind is reeling. Kyle returns, Clark tries to talk to him, and then he sees the mayor who is talking to Lana. They both go to find Sarah. Chrissy is getting a plate of food and Lois asks about her investigation.
She admits she was drugged and saw the different dimension. She mentions “Other Dad” and that Ally has taken over the other world! This reminds me of the dark, parallel world in Coraline (2009). The mother daughter dance is about to begin, Lana hugs Clark, the spotlight is out. Kyle waits and Jordan takes Sarah out to the spotlight. Kyle puts a crown on his daughter’s head. This scene is too intense! Sarah can’t look at her father and she starts to cry. She tells her father that she knows the truth and runs away. Kyle’s world is collapsing. Lana walks after them. Sarah says what she saw. Lana says it was the girl from the bar. She wants her daughter back to her quinceañera who is in tears. Lana wants Sarah to be strong to get through her night. These are the moments that separate this show from any series, superhero or drama. Superman and Lois offers several dramatic storylines with touches of the super heroic and very relatable, human scenes!
Five Crystals out of Five!
