TL144 - Superman & Lois - S1E4 - Haywire

Welcome to Smallville! Nothing seems to go quite right this episode. Everything is a little haywire. Clark is spending some quality time with the family and Metropolis’ sky is eerily empty of the Man of Steel. So, Sam Lane decides to pay the Kent family a visit and stay for a while. He informs Clark that Killgrave is being transferred to another prison. When Killgrave inevitably escapes, General Lane calls Superman to the rescue. He monitors the city, but is unable to track down Killgrave who later turns up with a sonic weapon. Drawing strength from his kids in need, he defeats Killgrave and rescues Tag. Meanwhile, Lois is having trouble at work when Edge threatens to sue her if she publishes anything in the Gazette. She confronts him and threatens to countersue, but it’s unclear if this fixes the situation. Jonathan is worried about Tag Harris, who appears to be developing metahuman abilities after the explosion at the bonfire. We later learn Smallville is a repository of X-Kryptonite which transforms humans into Supers. Football seems to be doing Jordan some good! He turns out to be the popular one in Smallville, which is hard for his brother.
