Last episode, Lois resolves the situation by having John Henry and Natalie, his daughter, to stay at the farmhouse. We get a perspective digging under the ground when we see the fist of Doomsday! This is the creature that killed Superman! He was introduced in Superman: The Man of Steel #17 (1992) and their fight ended with both deaths in Superman #75 (1993). He was in 2009 episodes of Smallville and appeared in Beavis. A breakfast is being made, Lois is busy making it, as the family gets to the kitchen table, and John Henry and his daughter arrive. Natalie says she is vegan. Clark sees visions and falls down as there are tremors! Doomsday is coming! Later, Clark explains that he has been having visions. John Henry offers to drive the kids to school. Clark tells Lois that he sees a cave-in and screaming. Lois thinks it may be visions of Krypton.
In town, Kyle is getting boxes out for the campaign. Mayor Dean (Eric Keenleyside) walks out of the restaurant. Smallville High, Jonathan kisses his girlfriend, Candace. His teammate, Ron, tells him to save his strength. Jordan asks Sarah to go to lunch and at the lunch table, brings in Natalie. Sarah says she has a `78 Firebird, Natalie works out how to start the car. A friendship? There is a secret from the camp. Smallville Gazette, Chrissie is listening to a podcast with a self-help guru, Aly Allston, Lois walks in and says she is a cult leader when Chrissie says her story as a journalist is questioned. Superman flies to snowy base. He walks into a red lit room, red sun radiation surpasses Kryptonian abilities, to see Morgan Edge, now Tal-Rho, reading a book and greets him as brother. He speaks with Edge in his cage, Clark mentions if pain and visions are a side effect of the Eradicator. Tal-Rho says that he is powerless after the solar flare.

At the Amer Tech mines, Lois and Chrissy meets with Dr. Faulkner (Catherine Lough Haggquist), who admits that they haven’t caused the tremors. Lois brings up the X-Kryptonite. The doctor leaves and Lois has Chrissy find a seismologist. The candidate, Daniel Hart, says he has a job offer at Bristol County, but admits that he is dropping out of the race. He was coerced by some business, like Amer Tech or Edge Industries? Jordan meets with Sarah who says she is going to work on the car with Natalie. At the farmhouse, John Henry sees the photo of his family. Lois is at the door and John Henry says she should be herself with Natalie. She asks for help on the mines. They hear the swoop in and Clark says that Edge is not a help. Clark hears gunfire at a hangar. Automatic fire keeps federal agents down, Superman knock him back, and then the gunman (Shaw Madson) breathes a yellow gas. He punches Superman back.
He starts to get into action, but struck by the vision, and the gunman slams down Superman, is taken away at superspeed, it is Tag Harris (Wern Lee), a former classmate of Jordan and one of the students from the DoD school. There are two others, but Superman falls unconscious. Superman is recovering at the DoD with Lieutenant Anderson who says the gunman was Phillip Karnowski, a drug runner. His team, the Threat Reduction Agency (TRA)? will be fodder for Doomsday. John Henry is setting up equipment at the mine and has a flashback of his Lois. His device will locate the seismic disturbances. At the Cushing house, Kyle and Lana go over possible candidates, it's kinda obvious who it will be. At the Smallville High workout room, Ron lifts heavy weights to the enthusiasm of his teammates, Jonathan continues with his small dumbbell. Jordan is looking over pics of Sarah on his phone. Clark tells his son that he was looking at the other fortress.

Jordan joins his father, Superman, and Tal-Ro at his desert fortress. A red crystal floats to his hand. They see the hologram form of his mother, Lara-El (Mariana Klaveno)! She helped her son first season possessing Lana. At first she doesn’t recognize Tal-Rho, her other son says it was taken before the destruction of Krypton. Lara is repulsed that her machine, the Eradicator, was used on humans. She says Tal-Rho was grown in lab and he is angry at her abandoning him to his father. Clark tells his other about the visions. At the garage, Natalie is working on the car with Sarah, she slips up bringing up the bunker. She tries to cover up saying it is the name they call the workshop. Natalie brings up Sarah’s problem with Jordan. Then, the car starts. At his RV, John Henry brings Lois green tea. Suddenly, the device activates with small tremors. Lara looks at her grandchild. Across from them, Tal-Rho says Lara favors Kal-El, Jordan defends him, matching his uncle!
Then, Superman has visions that agonize him as Lara scans Kal-El’s brain. The tremors strike. Tal-Rho snaps out of his handcuffs! Everything is a total whirl that it a moment happens, moves to another, and then another! Super drama! Tal-Rho blasts Superman to the rocky wall, Jordan blasts his uncle’s shoulder. Dr. Faulkner sees the monitors and and tries to warn the workers. Something brutal, grunting, takes down the miners. Jordan punches Tal-Rho, but he is head butted and has his arm around his throat. Lara pleads with Tal-Rho to release him. Does his hidden power connect with Leslie Larr? Four blue lights are seen and then an explosion in the mines! The mysterious appearance of Doomsday is exactly like the comics, powerful, world shaking, but unknown. John Henry tells Lois he has never seen a disturbance like at the mines. Superman is freed from the vision and slams Tal-Rho back. He begins to throw punch after punch, furious, and tells his half-brother, “Never touch him!” His mother in hologram form tells Kal-El that she knows what is the problem! Superman and Lois throws in so much events and characters that this ups the super ante and makes a fine second episode of the season!
Five Kryptonite Crystals out of Five!
