Previously on "Superman & Lois"...
Ally Allston merged
with her Bizarro self.
Does that mean she's
some sort of god now?
That pendant gave her a lot of power.
And the Jon that came here wants
to do the same thing with you.
If Jonathan merges
with his Bizarro self,
- he'll be as strong as she is.
- Who's the weak one now?
Where's Dad taking him?
One of those black sites
at Holding Tower .
John Henry and Nat may have
sent Lana's doppelganger back,

still working with Ally,

- If you're all okay with it...

wanted to tell you my entire life.

Mom, do you mind if I go
out with Dad for a bit?
Sure. Just be back by : .

I couldn't.
Not because she wouldn't
be able to handle it,

Honestly, we can't be sure of anything
