Do I smell banana muffins?

Those are for Nat,

since you're going to the
hospital today to see Tag.

I figured you could bring
her a care package.

Not a bad idea.

Although, I'm not sure
what you could put in there

to have her forgive me
for what I did to her dad.

You didn't do anything to John, Clark.

What happened to him is not your fault.

I pulled him into this mess.

Well, technically, I pulled him into it

when I asked him to look into the mines.

So if you're gonna feel guilty,

then I have to feel guilty,

and I feel guilty enough
about my sister, so...

Why should you feel guilty about Lucy?

She betrayed you,
not the other way around.

Unless I was wrong.

This whole time, I assumed that

everything that came out of
Ally's mouth was a lie.

This talk about shadow
dimensions and mirror selves...

it sounded crazy.

But then this bizarre version of you

busted through the earth's crust,

and now I'm wondering
what if the two are related?

You think this thing
could be my shadow self?

Maybe, and if that is the case,

then maybe Ally's theories are true

and I really did destroy
Lucy's life for no reason.

Your sister almost d*ed.

You had good reason for
what you wrote about Ally.

What if I didn't have all the facts?

I gotta go back through my notes

and see if I missed anything.

No, not here and not now.

- Lana, please.
- I said not now.

Sweetheart, listen to me.

This is your night.

Everybody is here celebrating you

because they love you.

Can't we just call it off? I...

I... I don't wanna pretend...

Oh, no. We're not gonna pretend.

We're gonna deal with this as a family.

I promise.

But right now, we're gonna walk in there

and we're gonna celebrate
this wonderful occasion

with our family and friends.

I don't think...

I don't think I can do it.

Sweetheart, we've got this.

Thank you all for coming tonight.

It means so much to us to be surrounded

by our family and friends...

all of you who have watched Sarah grow

into the woman that she is today.

So often when we think about our kids,

we go back to the moments
when they were little

and they needed us to pick them up

and kiss away their tears.

I miss those days.

I won't lie. [LAUGHS]

I miss them.

They were some of the best of my life.

But I'd rather be here
right now because of this

unbelievable young woman

that's standing before you tonight.

Sarah is someone who will
always fight for what's right,

even when it's hard.

She is a daughter strong enough

to pick me up

and wipe away my tears and... [SIGHS]

There sure are a lot of those sometimes.

Sweetheart,

you are my inspiration.

You're my heart.

You're my best friend.

And there's nothing I would change

if I can just keep you by my side.

Te quiero mucho.

I love you, Mom.

Kal-El. He is awake.

Your mom?

He's awake.

Just make sure no one sees you go.

I've never seen anything like it.

He's your opposite in so many ways,

yet still you.

And his speech?

You'll be able to understand him now.

I should've k*lled you.

You tried more than once.

Why are you here, Kal-El?

To save my world...

And yours.

[PHONE BLIPS]

Hey.

I just, um,

I just wanted to say

I'm sorry about what
happened with Sarah.

Really sucks.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

[SIGHS]

John, what... what's going on, man?

Can we just not get into this right now?

Come on, keeping secrets
never works out.

[SCOFFS] Says the guy

literally keeping a massive secret.

Dude, can you just...
can you just for once, like,

just quit acting like
you know everything.

Yeah, well, can you
quit lying to my face?

I'm not lying! [EYES WHOOSH]

- You have powers?
- Jordan...

No wonder you were so much
stronger this morning.

Why didn't you just tell me, man?

Okay, I just...

they just started come in
like a couple days ago,

and I just...

like, I wanted to get a feel for them.

Come on, come on.
We gotta go tell Mom and Dad.

No, no, wait. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Can you just... look.

Can I just have a little bit longer?

Yeah, they're gonna find out anyway.

I get that, but...

my powers have barely started coming in,

and you know that Dad's gonna
pull me off the team

as soon as he finds out, right?

- Yeah, probably.
- Exactly, okay?

So can I just get a couple days

just to figure this out
before he gets involved?

- [PHONE BUZZES]
- [SIGHS]

It's Sarah. I gotta take this.

Okay... hey. Can we
talk about this later?

- Please?
- Yeah, man.

Okay.

- You're a m*rder*r.
- I'm a soldier.

And there are casualties in w*r,

whether you want to admit it or not.

We're not at w*r.

Not yet.

But you will be.

At w*r with who, Kal-El?

The woman whose life he just saved.

Ally Allston will destroy
everything you love.

Your friends...

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Your family.

You'll lose it all.

Unless you k*ll her first.
