Chrissy wants a headling for the Smallville Gazette and Lois wants interviews. They need a statement from the DoD. At the barn, John Henry is working on his laptop next to his RV and suit. He is trying to track Larr. John Henry wants to adjust to this world after finding the Kryptonian. Clark gets the signal and the computer informs Irons that a Kryptonian is headed to the DoD. Superman is flying getting updates from General Lane. He takes on Larr as she is flying towards the DoD. Larr strikes down Superman and John Henry blasts her. Short work of a villain who should be the central conflict of the episode. Maybe we would get her Kryptonian backstory. He gives John Henry the 7734 necklace and wants to eliminate the weapons. Jonathan is taking a ride with Tegan. They both realize they are unattached. Sarah leads Jordan to a forest path. She has led him to a bridge.
At the diner, Kyle talks with Lana about their job problems. Tom Mitchell (Rohain Arora), Kyle’s co-worker needs oxygen from the fire where he saved Mitchell, but the others blame him for Edge’s action. Lois wants a comment from General Lane. He is preparing a pamphlet to cover the Kryptonite and keep people away from the mines. In Edge’s cell, he flashes back to his younger self standing up to the red rays. He wants to restore the crystal of his mother, but is denied by his father. Edge says Superman is holding back his power to live amongst humans, but likes unleashing his power. He screams that Superman is just like himself. Chrissy is frustrated that Lois hasn’t gotten the quote from the DoD. She thinks Lois is covering for the DoD. At a field, Tegan is talking with Jonathan. She talks about the rumors and Jonathan’s grandfather. He gets that she is just using him to know about the events of Smallville and walks home.

Kyle is angry at the situation, he brings up moving away. Sarah notes the bridge is place she goes to and that her family was originally from Mexico, Cushing? Jordan says he will always be there for Sarah and they kiss. This is interrupted by police officers! General Lane says that Kryptonite weapons are being eliminated. Superman wants to keep them around in case he or other Kryptonians become a danger. At the barn, John Henry spray paints the armor, the computer wants him to try to meet his sister. Jonathan joins him impressed that he rebuilt the armor. Clark sees that Jonathan is not at school. Lois gets a call from General Lane, he’s concerned about Clark. Lana notices the crossed out jobs for Kyle. Sophie Cushing wonders about her father because he asked about going to another school. Jonathan tells Clark that he went with a girl from junior class, but she only wanted to hear about the true story. Lois enters, um, mad, sends Jonathan to his room. She doesn’t want to hear about the Kryptonian weapons. Wow, Clark is getting a talking to and now has to deal with Jordan.
Lana over hears from Mayor Dean (Eric Keenleyside) about stirring up controversy, she chews him out, and then joined by Lois. She tells Lois that Smallville is not the same. Lois returns home with Jordan and sends him to his room. At the kitchen, more calm, she tells Clark that he is wrong. He confesses that when Zod took over, he felt the release of not holding back his powers. Lois agrees that there should be a failsafe, but not in the hands of the DoD. Clark tells John Henry that he should have the 7734. Chrissy is at the Smallville Gazette working and Lois walks in. Lois admits she lied, she wants to get the town to see the threat of Morgan Edge. At Edge’s cell, he is angry at his hologram father, about his brother. He detaches his father’s hologram crystal. In the present, Edge says goodbye to his father. He closes his eyes and then his eyes glare blue. Clark and Lois have both sons apologize for leaving school. I'm sensing that Chrissy writes a story to unite Smallville and that Lana is then elected mayor. Superman and Lois’ latest episode doesn’t strike the balance between dramatic small town life and superhero conflicts. It leans heavy into the drama without the mix of superhero beyond Edge, but it does become threatening at the last few minutes of the episode!
Three Kryptonite Crystals out of Five!
