03x03 - In Cold Blood

Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on "Superman and Lois"...

I signed the divorce papers.

- I'll talk to you later?
- Yeah.

Henry Miller? You're
supposed to be in jail.

- You have powers?
- They granted him

a compassionate release

'cause he only had
a few weeks left to live.

He had a terminal brain tumor.

Did someone pressure you to release him?

- This interview's over.
- Who the hell are you?

Follow him... we have to
find out who he works for.


Did you give Henry Miller powers?

Is that an accusation?

What's coming for me,
it's uncontrollable.

How could you possibly understand that?

I just found out I have cancer,

and I'm really scared.

I'm not ready for everything to change.

We are gonna get through this together

as a family.
