Re:cap - the thing in the black containment suit shrugs off bullets from the soldiers. Superman faces it. John Henry revives and asks for his suit. He starts running and the suit merges with John Henry, more impressive than Iron Man, and he blasts the creature. The blasts tears open part of the helmet it is a pale, scarred (like a zombie) Superman(!) that flies off. This is Bizarro Superman! The reverse Superman first appeared in Superboy #68 (1958). He appeared in Smallville and in the Superboy series played by Barry Meyers. Sam Lane says that it could be Superman of John Henry's Earth, but that idea is dismissed by John Henry. He calls it the "bizarre version of Superman." Sarah has her mother on a podcast answering questions. We also have Jonathan asking Candace to sell him crystals! We flashback five years ago with Lucy Lane (Jenna Dewan), packing up and Lois checks on. Dewan was in the Supergirl show with her last episode was "Better Angels" (2016).
Lucy is frustrated staying with her sister’s family. She is going to stay with Ally.Lucy says she lost her job, fiancee, and mother. Now, we have the diner with Lois wanting see her sister from Ally. She calls her followers, congregates, and Lois says she preys on the “weak-minded.” Lois says she pulled Lucy out of a bathtub to save her. Ally says Lois should listen to the podcast. She stands up along with four other men. Lois calls up Chrissie and wants to find Lucy. The Bizarro Superman uses his flame breath (his powers are reversed) on Arctic ice. He finds a purple crystal necklace and has visions of breakfast which causes Clark pain. Jordan uses his super hearing to find out that Lois is listening to the podcast. Clark to check on Lois who says Lucy is covering for Ally. At the barn with the Steel suit, Natalie is working with her father. Clark walks in and Natalie admits she knows more than her father about the suit.
At the diner, Emily Phan (Leeah Wong) talks with Lana, she confides that men are asking about her and Sarah. Emily has been in season one and also “What Lies Beneath." John Henry is enjoying the quiet of the farm. Clark is struck with another vision. A fast moving Bizarro who arrives next to the barn! The frayed cape of Bizarro is seen, they collide in a bubble of power, the necklace begins leeching power from Clark. John Henry asks for his kinetic hammer to separate the two Supers. Bizarro flies off. I can't shake the feeling that Bizarro was somehow formed by Tal-Rho. Chrissie is working all night and has checked the dark web. She found an invite at an event at New Carthage. Kyle walks into his house angry about Mayor Dean. Lana is worried about Sarah. Smallville High, Jordan walks with Sarah down the hall, he wants to go with her to the grocery store, Britt & Dunn.

Jonathan is met by Candace who says the crystal makes you feel like Superman. John Henry explains that they can track the Superman twin. He says Clark will need help from Anderson’s team. At the grocery store, Sarah sees a school friend, Denise Olowe (Kelcey Mawema). Jordan hears something and uses his super breath to freeze the floor to make teen thieves fall along with the liquor bottle they were trying to steal. Denise explains that her father has a security camera, his identity might be compromised! Jordan is worried as the police interview Denise with Sarah. He calls up his grandfather, Sam Lane, who is on a golf course and has scrambled the video! Sam tells him to be aware of his surroundings. Chrissie in a blond wig goes to find Lucy Lane. Ally is giving a lecture on “Finding Your Self.”
At the DoD, Superman super speeds to Lt. Anderson’s office. He gives the tracking drive and will need the DoD satellites. On the field, Jonathan takes a whiff of the yellow crystal, his eyes go into super vision at the football, and an extreme closeup of a girl’s face. He convinces the coach to send him in. Natalie watches in the stands. Jonathan throws perfect passes with his super vision. Scary. Lois in her car is seen by Lucy with a box in her arms. She says that Lucy sent Ally after her and goes to see her sister at her apartment. Ally talks about betrayal and then turns to Chrissie, caught! Chrissie is sitting and says it is a “brainwashing session.” Lucy blames Lois for their mother leaving and that Lois keeps changing the story. She shows Chrissie the apartment room of Lois and Lucy’s argument! She wanted to “cross over” taking pills.
Ally wants her to reconsider her beliefs. The beep of the recording has Lucy take up the camera. Lois sees Chrissie who knows about the argument. Chrissie feels betrayed. Lana and Kyle are at the dinner table when Sarah enters the house. She says that Mayor Dean is checking up on Sarah and may bring up her suicide attempt. Sarah wants to move on and says she would like to go on the debate stage to talk about Mayor Dean. Sarah may need Jordan to help her get through this situation. Lois is on the porch joined by Clark, her belief is shaken. At the DoD, the control room has detected Bizarro and wants Tag and the two others (Evelyn Garcia and Dominique Termansen), calling themselves the Supermen of America!, to face him! The name of the team came from a similar titled comic book special in 1999. It is Natalie's destiny to wear the Steel armor! Superman and Lois is full of twists, this episode is in serious need of heartwarming moments, it is the fall before the rise!
Four Crystals out of Five!
