Looks like Lana won.

I'm gonna go find Sarah.

My team just cleared the warehouse

and are sweeping the area
for any other hot spots.

Hopefully this can be the
end of X-K in Smallville.

Except this story is
bigger than Smallville, Dad.

There was real money
funding that operation.

That's what worries me.

But right now,

I think the new mayor
wants to say hello.

[LIGHT PIANO MUSIC]

Hey, Sarah.

I am so sorry I'm late.

[SIGHS] Late?

You missed the whole thing.

Where were you?

You know, family stuff.

It's complicated.

I'm sure I can keep up if you just wanna

talk to me about it.

I can't.

Okay? I'm sorry.

Are you ever gonna put me first?

What do you mean?

I mean, you keep disappearing,

and all I wanna know is why,

but you're shutting me out,

and I know I haven't been
the perfect girlfriend...

No, no, no, no, no, that's
not what this is about at all.

Then what is it?

Because this was an
important day for me,

and I wanted to share it with you.

I know. I have things I wanna tell you,

but I can't.

[SIGHS]

Then I can't come second

to whatever it is that's keeping you.

You should take this.

Yeah, I think I am.

Let's just talk about it tomorrow.

Okay?

Dad, what are you doing?

Making breakfast for dinner.

With Mom's recipe?

I've been so busy
filling in for Superman

I thought that was a good thing,

but you were right.

Just because it hurts is no
excuse to forget your mom.

But maybe today, instead
of mourning her death,

we can celebrate her life.

By making waffles?

And reliving memories.

Hi.

She's perfect, isn't she?

Oh, my God.

- I was so tiny.
- Yeah.

What?

I just want you to know

Uh, I figured you
could use some company,

and, you know, honestly, I could too.

I broke up with Jordan.

Mijita, I'm so sorry. Come here.

Ugh. [SNIFFLES]

Honestly, I don't really
wanna think about it

or talk about it or really
acknowledge that it happened.

Hey, hey, hey. You
did what you had to do

for a reason. Am I right?

Yeah.

I say tonight, you and me,
we load up on chilaquiles.

Tomorrow, we'll...

we'll figure out what comes next

for the both of us.

[SNIFFS]

I mean, yeah, my mom
can be a little, uh...

- Terrifying?
- Yeah.

Yeah, she is, but, you know, it's fine.

Actually, I feel a lot better now.

I was feeling really guilty

letting you take the fall for me.

I'm still glad I did, you know,

and, I mean, hopefully,

now we can just forget
that it ever happened and...

I don't know, maybe focus on us.

Yeah, I'd like that.

- [HIGH-PITCHED RINGING]
- Jon, what is it?

- Are you okay?
- Sorry. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's just, like, a weird headache,

I think from staring
at a laptop all week.

Online school is no joke, you know.

You should go home. I'm two blocks away.

- You sure?
- Yes.

Go home.

Okay. See you tomorrow.

Hey.

Find a new spot.

Brooding on the porch is my thing.

Sarah gave this back to me.

I'm sorry, sweetie.

I don't know what to do.

Sometimes, with heartbreak,
you just have to feel it.

On the bright side, you did kind
of save your mom's life tonight.

- Yeah, I guess.
- Hold on.

I think that warrants
way more enthusiasm.

It's kind of hard for me to
watch you guys grow up so fast.

Sometimes it feels like you guys were

running around in
diapers just yesterday.

But I do want you to know how proud I am

of the hero you are becoming.

So's your dad.
