Previously on "Superman and Lois"...

What exactly does this stuff do?

Besides make you feel like Superman?

I'm just better than you,
and I'm only getting stronger.


- You have powers?
- For a man who likes his tequila neat,


you shouldn't be getting messy with him.

The Dean campaign
would pay for this info.

I know what I saw... you and some woman!

Why didn't you tell me

that thing you were chasing was you?

We're on the same side here, General.

Every day, I believe that
just a little bit less.

You're the opposite of me.

- Why are you here?
- To save my world.


Ally Allston will destroy everything

unless you k*ll her first.

And that's when you arrived
in the mines?


Where I was stuck for days...

weakened by the X-Kryptonite.

And now, I'm stuck once again...

- because of you.
- Not because of me.

Because you k*lled
innocent people... two teenagers.

- Only by necessity.
- You almost k*lled my friend.

- He att*cked me.
- You tried to k*ll me!

Because I needed those visions to stop!

Enough!

This will solve nothing.

The pendant you came here with,
what is it, exactly?

It's an artifact as old as time,

born when our worlds split.

Paired with its counterpart,

it can elevate the possessor
into godhood.

I don't understand.

You came here to this Earth

to destroy it?

To ensure I wasn't stopped.

- By whom?
- Let's just say

I'm not as revered on my world
as you are here, Kal.

But none of that's
of any concern to you.

All that matters
is the pendant is destroyed.

- Why didn't you?
- I was not able to.

I don't possess enough
strength on this earth.

The yellow sun weakens me.

Perhaps with you, it could be done.

Perhaps, but there is
a more certain way to end this.

k*ll Ally.

- I'm not k*lling anyone.
- Then you have no choice.

Find the pendant, and see it destroyed.

It's the only way to make
sure she can't use it

to merge with her other self.

And if she does... merge?

What would happen?

She would inherit enough power

to send us all into oblivion.

Everything about this me

- Huh?
- [SPITS]

- Bizarre.
- Oh.

Well, maybe there's another reason

he wants the pendant destroyed.

Maybe.

But it seems consistent

fixing what's wrong, becoming whole.

By merging with your other self.

Was there anything in your
Inverse Society research

- about this guy?
- No, but Chrissy and I

need to do a deeper dive
to see if we can find

something that will help us
understand what she saw

when she crossed over.

Clark, if he is right,

and if Ally's goal
is to use these pendants

to become some kind of a god...

Then I need to get it back from
Anderson and destroy it.

And we don't know where
this other Superman has gone?


This is the last
verified location we have.

That's enough.

And our Superman?

We have reason to believe

that he is searching for him as well.

But not confirmation.

He's still hesitant
to share information with me.

I'm beginning to understand why.

- Ma'am...
- Over years,

Sam Lane never had
a single problem with Superman.

Not one. You've been here
for six months,

and in that time, our relationship

with this country's best defense system

has deteriorated significantly.

X-Kryptonite has made its way
into the public domain,

and an unidentified Kryptonian being

took the lives of two of our assets.

Sending the Supermen of America

in to fight that thing
was a miscalculation.

Two soldiers d*ed.

It was a hell of a lot more
than a miscalculation.

Today you will represent

the thr*at Reduction Agency

at the funerals
of the fallen SOA members.

Then you will return here,

by any means necessary,

I think it's better.

You know? We got roots.

Now we got family. Right?

That's what makes this so hard.

I spoke to Tonya.

Why... why would you do that?

Because I needed to hear it from her.

Now, look, whatever she said...

Oh, you don't have to worry.

She said you were a good guy

and that the reason you broke it off

was to save your family.

That's... I mean, that's right.

The problem is, I can't help but wonder,

would you have broken it off
to save your marriage?

Lana, yes, of course.

Come on, I wasn't myself back then.

Do you even know who that is?

And not some version of you
years ago.

I mean you, today.

Yeah, babe, I know, okay?

The last couple years,
I've been... finding my way.

But I have always loved you.

That hasn't changed.

Maybe not for you.

Lana, what are you saying?

That you don't love me anymore?

I'm not sure.

And until I am,

I think that you need to move out.

No, Lana, please...

You can pick up your stuff
in the morning

after the girls are gone.

Just make sure my car
isn't in the driveway.

Any idea what that's about?

Just brother stuff, I guess.

You've probably had your fair share

of sibling rivalry for the day.

I was hoping things

would turn out different this time.

I'm sorry, Dad.

No, no, don't apologize.

The fault lies squarely with me.

If I'd been more attentive
when she was younger,

she never would've sought out
somebody like Ally Allston.

I don't think that's something

you can really control.

It sure feels like it.

I hate to break it to you,

but being a parent never gets easier.

That could only be said by somebody

who didn't have to breastfeed
at : a.m.

Too much information.

Or change twins' diapers

when they both pooped at the same time.

All right, point taken.

Maybe it gets a little easier.

It's still hard, though.

I appreciate you trying.

Anything for my girls.

I mean that.

I know you do.

Hey, Jordan, we need to talk.

Dude, come on. I know you can hear me.

I don't want to talk to you.

Look, Jordan, I'm sorry.

What I did was stupid, okay?

Tonight was supposed to be
this big deal for me,

and it ended up feeling really fake.

What's the point of a great game

if you can't even enjoy it, you know?

What, am I supposed to feel bad for you?

No, I just... I messed up,

and it's not gonna happen again, okay?

Whatever, man.

Wait, wait, wait. How'd you find out?

Timmy's mom found an inhaler.

Apparently, the police are involved.
