Summary

After being pushed around too many times by Sean and his friends, Jordan decides to push back by joining the team, gaining the respect of the coach and his new teammates. Clark is worried that doing so will reveal his powers, but Jonathan convinces him otherwise. Clark allows Jordan to join the team, and takes a job as the school’s assistant coach. Sarah breaks up with Sean and quits the cheerleading team after an argument with her mother. However, Lana and Sarah eventually make up after the former reveals the dysfunctional state of their family, like her father sleeping on the couch, Sophie picking on the kids in her class, and Lana abusing sleeping medication. Lois finds someone to talk to regarding Morgan Edge’s previous dealings. “Subjekt-11”, a man with super-strength that rivals Superman, ambushes Lois when she goes to meet with the woman, but Superman saves them both. Subjekt-11 is later killed by Morgan Edge’s personal assistant, Leslie Larr, who uses her heat vision to kill him as he tries to leave town. She calls up Morgan and tells him “It’s done”.

The couple builds a new room for the baby. While debating on what the name should be, (Wanda calling the baby Tommy, while Vision calls it Billy), Wanda suddenly has her pregnancy elevate to six months, then goes through the Braxton Hicks contraction. This causes her to accidentally generate an energy surge, which shuts down the power of the entire town. She then gives birth to twins with the help of Geraldine, while Vision finds and takes Dr. Nielson to their house, then lets him go when Wanda gives birth. Vision catches Agnes and his neighbor, Herbert, gossiping and interrupts them. They talk about Geraldine, and Agnes stops Herb when he stutters repetitively that “She came here because we’re…” Wanda interrogates Geraldine after she reveals she knows Ultron killed her brother.
