Sunrise at the Kent Farm, the Department of Defense: Threat Reduction Agentcy is empty in the early morning, Clark is unconscious in the hospital bed. Lois is asleep in the chair next to him until he calls out her name. The blue veins in his face are gone and Lois touches his face telling him, “You’re back.” Dramatic start, one scene, Bitsie Tulloch shines again. The farmhouse, Jonathan and Jordan are checking their phones listessly. Jordan hears the warning. They both walk out to their father slowly walking from the car and hug him. He needs to sit down, but stumbles. Lois says Ally drained him of all solar energy(!), but Clark says he isn’t able to recharge. He needs to go to the Fortress and ask his mother. Jordan worries about flying them. Lois says they can ask John Henry.
At the warehouse, John Henry wonders about Ally as an “energy parasite.” Parasite is an early Superman villain, usually Rudy Jones, introduced in Action Comics #40 (1966) as Raymond Jensen with purple skin. He has drained Superman of his powers. Natalie wonders how Ally’s powers work. They hear a knock at the door, it’s Clark, he thanks John Henry and especially Natalie for saving his life. He wants them to take him to the Fortress. At the Cortez kitchen, Sarah says she is tired and Lana point to herself as tired, then she hears Sophie cry out. On television, is Ally who says she is going to merge Earths. At the Smallville Gazette, Chrissie sees her computer distorted like Ally’s image, she asks Lois about Superman’s condition. She wants to write about what Ally did to Superman. Lois shows Chrissie that the distortion comes from Bizarro World !

At the Fortress, the Lara hologram analyzes her son, she says her cells were altered. He needs to heal and then his cells will adjust. Clark says he started having powers when he was 4. Her hologram starts to fluctuate, the Bizarro influence! John Henry gets his attention, the outside has turned red, this also seen at the Smallville Gazette and around Smallville. Lana’s kids show her the sky, Jonathan and Jordan sees it outside of the house, as does Kyle on Smallville streets. We hear the phone message of Clark Kent. There were red skies before the Crisis on Infinite Earths comic storyline. John Henry and Clark see the cubed sun of Bizarro World. He will not be able to recharge with a red sun.
Sam Lane drives up to the farmhouse, Lois asks about Lucy, and knows that Superman’s energy is helping her to merge worlds. John Henry and Clark land and they update everyone on the situation. Lois gets a text that Chrissie is going public with the Ally story. Sam Lane says the DoD will put a cover story. Lois reassures Clark that there will be “another way.” Kyle watches the news update along with other Smallville residents. They are worried and unsure with the square Bizarro sun. Lana takes her daughters to stay with Kyle. The citizens ask Mayor Lane about what is happening and she says she will make calls. She gets a call from Chrissie. John Henry and Natalie fly towards the new sun, he reports that it is giving 3% of solar radiation from the usual sun.

Sam Lane is confused by this data. Natalie says it is growing stronger. The Bizarro sun is getting more powerful with the merging as it enters this universe. Clark is about to walk out, but she drained his power because Sam says he saved him. Mayor Lane wonders about the truth told by Chrissie, Lois confirms it, about the loss of Superman’s powers. Lois wants to present the truth to Lana so she can tell what is best for Smallville. At the farmhouse, Clark is alone on a haybail, his sons watch him. Then, Jordan hears the warning, and superspeeds away his father, as Superwoman crashes down! Clark and Jordan are stunned to see her likeness to their Lana! Jordan warns her, but Superwoman bashes him against a truck choking him! Clark offers himself, then the arrival of John Henry and Natalie in their suits drives her off!
John Henry explains that they have less than 12 hours before the complete mergining. Natalie adds that sub-atomic merging of people will kill them. John Henry says the energy is coming from the Shuster Mines. Why do they keep it open? Clark says that Ally is in the other world. John Henry volunteers to stop her and Natalie joins him. Lana is worried and Kyle is there for a talk. She wants advice about the situation. Kyle asks her who it is she protecting by holding back the truth. Lana goes back about Tonya and he agrees and also says he was ashamed. Kyle says he didn’t say the truth of the affair when it mattered. Lana wants to see the girls first. Lois goes in worried about Jordan and what to do if Superwoman returns. She talks to Clark and how he inspires people even if he is not Superman. I really like Lois being the support system and booster for Superman when he is down! “Worlds War Bizarre” has a difficult choice for Mayor Lana, the escalating threat for the Steel duo, and the Kent family struggling over what to with a powerless Superman!
Four Crystals out of Five!
