Superman and Lois, “Into Oblivion”, Review!

 Last ep. re:cap: Jonathan takes the fall for the possession of the X-K drug!  Sarah meets with Aubrey whom she kissed in summer camp.  John Henry was out of action seriously damaged by Bizarro in “The Inverse Method” which aired February 1st (a lifetime ago?)!  We see one year ago on Earth-TUD22, John Henry flashes back to spending time with his daughter.  She wakens to an alarm.  The A.I. Hedy (Daisy Tormé) used by John Henry notes an anamoly that is going to destroy the Earth.  She pursues her father in an escape pod when the power goes out.  In current time, we have Natalie checking on her father in the hospital room.  He is cleared to return and says he wants to spend time with his “two girls.”  He does not recognizing this worlds’ Lois who walked in with Clark! 

Natalie asks the doctor about what happened with her father and wants another brain scan.   She leaves Clark and Lois not happy.  This episode is in part Natalie’s story with the flashbacks.  At the home, an awkward conversation with Kyle and Lana who are apart.  He wants to know about her preparation for the mayoral debate.  Sarah walks in wondering about her parents’ relationship, he wants to take his daughter to breakfast.  Lois and Clark return home, he is not ready to talk with Jonathan and they roshambo, I’ve always heard it as Rock Paper Scissors.  Of course, Clark loses and meets with his sons at the kitchen table.  He also wants Jordan there in case he makes the same mistake!  Clark mentions that the parents are calling not wanting their kids to be around Jonathan.  Clark tells him that football season is cancelled. He asks again about who had the X-K drugs and hears the warning from Sam Lane.

He speeds away, Lois tells Jonathan that he has to go to online school and work at the Brit & Dunn store.  Jordan gets a message from Sarah to talk.   In her office, Ally talks to Anderson about the pendant.  He says he has two of the pendants.  She hopes to ascend, but Anderson is confused.  Ally has Anderson transferred to the other world to contact her other shadow self.  Anderson says that Ally’s other self told her to ascend now.  Jonathan says to Lois that he thinks his father hates him.  Lois gets a call from Crissy that Ally is going to give her a ride.  A van pulls up with a mysterious man who takes her phone before she gets in.  Crissy is stunned that the people inside are in hazmat suits.  At school, Sarah tells Jordan about Aubrey, they are “just friends.”  She wants them to hang out and he hears the warning signal.  He watches a man (Kenny Wood-Schatz) harrassing Candice about money.  Maybe Jordan uncovers who is supplying the X-K.  


At the DoD, Sam Lane tells Superman that Anderson is missing.  He mentions the apology from General Hardcastle.  He is on temporary duty, opens a safe, and sees the pendant is missing.  At the mines, a soldier is tossed by super powered Anderson, Ally is there in a Hazmat team along with Crissy.  At the Kent home, Clark tells Lois about the missing pendant.  Lois and Sam get a call from Lucy.  Crissy sees the glow on Ally’s glove as they enter the tunnel.  Clark returns, no Lucy, and they put the connections together.  The tunnel opens to a cavern with circles of blue energy and a red sun.  Lucy floats up followed by others.  Crissy follows them with Ally watching them.  They start to scream in pain.  Crissy is about to be taken in , Anderson takes a hit of X-K.  Superman at the last moment grabs hold of Crissy.  Anderson floats up with the pendant and enters the vortex.

Crissy is tearfully stunned that Superman only saved three of them.  At the mines, Crissy explains what happened to Superman in the back of a hospital van.  Sam Lane wants to know if he saw Lucy.  He gets a warning, he missed taking John Henry back, Sam Lane says he will take care of Ally.  Clark returns home to find John Henry and Natalie who is angry at him.  She is upset that her father will share the same fate as her mother.  Natalie worries about the A.I.  that puts her in suspended animation until a solution can be found.  At the store, Jonathan is mopping the floor as Jordan tells his brother about what happened at school.  Lana has a conversation with Kyle about how the mayor will use their relationship in debates.  In the DoD interrogation room, Ally with a bruised face, is questioned by Sam Lane.  He wants to know about the names of the seven missing people.  She brings up Lucy pushing him.  


Lois watches and then goes into the room to see her father shaking Ally.  She smiles at Lois.  Sam Lane is angry that Lucy died to Lois.  At the Cushing home, Kyle goes over the questions with his wife.  Clark talks with Sam Lane and then hears something at Lucy’s apartment.  He appears as Superman there and sees Lois.  She wants to find out what happened to her sister.  At the store, Jonathan talks to Candice about what his brother heard and walks her out.  They walk in the night street and she tells him that she loves him.  Headlights appears from a car.  The tough guy, Mickey Jeroux, takes a hit of X-K. Is he behind everything?, forcing Candice to work for him?  Jordan is walking up tot he cafe to see Sarah and Aubrey.  Jordan hears the warning signal about his brother.  His life is complicated without saving Jonathan.  Mickey pushes around Candice.  Jonathan throws his car keys.  Jeremy knocks him down the street.  Superman and Lois is filled with dramatic moments, but there are so many, it is difficult to invest in one or two or three.
