After the stunning last episode, we had Superman facing off against Tal-Ro’s army. He was able to stop and restore the Smallville citizens. Still, he found himself at the Fortress of Solitude. Tal-Ro’s plans are not finished and he continues to have Leslie as his second in command. The Artic plains, teen Clark Kent sees the light go out with the red crystal. He throws it into the snow and this of course raises the Fortress of Solitude. He is caught under snow and bursts out with his heat vision flaring. Clark enters the fortress and places the crystal in the console bringing Jor-El! We see Clark running across the snow, impressive, this switches to the older Clark who leaps into flying. Jor-El wonders why Clark wants to defend humanity. Clark lands at the farmhouse and hugs his mother. He tells Martha that he is Kryptonian. He looks at his yearbook and then goes to see Lana.

Martha console his son that Lana moved on from him. She shows him the costume she made. Clark goes to Metropolis and then reveals his costume! We see the first episode where he saved the kid. The first appearance of Superman! Daily Planet, Perry White rejects Clark as reporter. He meets Lois Lane. She is more interested in the problems of the city than some hero. She shows a file of a man with a metal mask. Jimmy Olsen is mentioned, but we haven’t seen him yet and what happened to him. He starts to work with Lois reseraching and interviewing people. Short, but you can see the working relationship of Lois and Clark. He detects a disturbance with his super hearing. A man fires a flame thrower and Superman stands in his way, freezing the weapon with his super breath. This is Atom Man (Paul Lazenby), who was featured on the old radio show, and also the name of a 1950 film serial, Atom Man vs. Superman, but this was Lex Luthor. He throws grenades at civilians which Superman stops and Lois tazers the villain.
Lois introduces herself to Superman and she first calls him Superman! This is a great summary of Superman and Lois similar to Superman the Movie, but with its own spin. Hosting Daily Planet Today, Lois interviews Superman, he tells about Krypton, I like him learning every language. Lois has to check her mic and meets with a co-worker, Janet (Yoshié Bancroft) who says he’s falling for her. Lois confides that she likes Clark. Janet brings up that Superman has super hearing. She continues the interview. Clark and Lois go to the farm, Lois meets Martha, Martha! She likes Lois and Clark wants to reveal his identity. Martha hugs her son. He shows Lois that he can fly. They kiss, he shows her a ring at the Fortress of Solitude, they wed. Strange, that this flashback does not cover the first meeting of General Lane and Superman. At the Fortress of Solitude, he tells Jor-El about the wedding and suddenly his father is screaming at him, a nightmare! Lois tells Clark that she is pregnant. The doctor shows the couple that they are having twin boys. Clark faces Tal-Ro, who is playing This is Your Life?, Lois gives birth to Jonathan and Jordan.

Clark removes a headband, he faces Tal-Ro in the Fortress of Solitude, who asks for his surrender. Tal-Ro threatens Jonathan and Jordan. He crushes the Jor-El crystal. Then, Tal-Ro slams Superman. Kyle is trying to recover from his transformation with Lois and Lana. The alien part is covered up by the government. Jordan and Jonathan talk with Sarah, she wants to speak to Jordan alone, he gets a kiss from her! Kyle apologizes to Lois for the way he treated her. Lois is happy for her son and Uncle Morgan drops down! He says his fortress is in the desert. He blasts Jordan with his heat vision. Lois stand against him. Edge is about to blast Lois, but Superman appears. He agrees to Edge’s bargain to spare his family. At the Val-Ro’s desert fortress, they appear and the young Val-Ro (Ben Cockell) throws the crystal to from his fortress. He activates the red crystal, and sees the hologram of his father, Zeta-Ro (A.C. Peterson). It is 1987 and he begins his training to rule. The first test is pain with red rays torturing him. He brings Superman to Zeta-Ro. Superman is bathed by the red rays as Zeta-Ro and his son watch. An impressive episode of Superman and Lois, but this should have been a two part episode, and where is Jimmy Olsen?
Four Kryptonite Crystals out of Five!
