All language subtitles for Superman.and.Lois.S02E12.720p.HDTV.x264-SYNCOPY - HI

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 0.

John Henry and Nat may have sent
Lana's doppelganger back,

but as long as she's still
working with Ally,

our Lana might not be safe.

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

Lana, there's something
I've wanted to tell you

- my entire life.
- You're Superman.

[soft music]

[♪]

You're Superman?

Kind of.

How did I not see this?

How did people
not put this together?

People see
who they want to see.

How long
have you had powers?

Since we were kids.

[laughter]

[♪]

You have to do it
in a specific order.

Otherwise, you...

You're the reason

all that strange stuff
happened here.

All of it was you...

[♪]

Including the accident.

I love you, Clark.

Pete!

You saved us.

Couldn't let my friends
get hurt.

But I did get hurt.

You vanished
almost right after that night.

Look, I had to figure out
who I was.

My dad was gone.

My mom didn't want me
using my powers.

I-I was angry
and confused.

But after saving you
and Pete that night,

I finally understood what
I was meant to do with my life.

And as soon as
I realized that,

I knew I couldn't stay
in Smallville anymore...

no matter
how much I wanted to.

That's why you left...

to become Superman.

[scoffs]

Why didn't you come
back for me?

I did.

You were with Kyle.

Hi.
Mmm.

You should have told me.

[♪]

Did you ever love me?

Lana, of course I did.

Just not enough.

Lana, I'm sorry.

I got to go.

[dramatic music]

[♪]

You guys are not
telling us the full story.

All right, there's
no way that you told

Mrs. Cushing
that you're Superman,

and then she just drove away...
that's insane.

That's what she did.

We knew she would be hurt.

Didn't know
she'd be that hurt.

I kind of knew.

What was she like at the end?

Like, do you think
she's gonna tell Sarah?

Did you even ask?

Jordan,
leave your father alone.

Jonathan, where
is your backpack?

You're gonna be late
for school.

I still can't even believe
you're making us go to school.

Of course
you have to go to school.

We are lucky Principal Balcomb
even accepted you back.

And side note... as long as the
other you is still locked up,

you are technically safer
than anyone else.

What does that even mean...
I'm technically safer

than anyone else?

Your doppelganger
was Ally's first horseman,

but I doubt
he'll be her last.

Well, then maybe
we should stay home,

you know, in case you guys
need our help.

Well, if we need your help,
then we'll know

exactly where to find you,
won't we?

- Let's go.
- Go.

You really think Ally's gonna
send more of her acolytes?

She already has.

I mean, John Henry and Nat

may have sent Lana-Rho
back to her world,

but... it doesn't mean
she won't try again

or that Ally
won't show up herself.

Well, that's why we have
to warn our Lana, Clark.

She won't return my calls.

Let me just reach out,

and I'm gonna try to smooth
things over for you two.

In the meantime,
while your dad and John Henry

are running tests
on the pendant, I will see

if I can try to figure out
what Ally's next move is.

- After you drop the boys off.
- Of course.

Clark.

It's gonna take Lana
a little while

to wrap her head around this.

Yeah.

[school bell rings]

S-she's coming.

[♪]

She's not gonna stop.

S-she will
if you say hi to her.

- I'm not gonna... Hey, Sarah.
- Hey, Natalie.

Told you.

- Look what the cat dragged in.
- What's up, guys?

So, uh, Kent,

have you figured out a way
to get the baseball season

- canceled yet?
- [snickers]

I mean,
since you ruined football.

Okay, whatever.

At least I didn't snitch
on you guys.

You should be thanking me.

Besides, this guy
was literally huffing

more of that stuff
than I was.

Maybe, but I didn't get
the whole season canceled.

So what? What, you think any
of this matters?

You think football matters?

You think baseball matters?

You think even
high school matters?

- All of it's meaningless.
- Uh, Jon, uh...

Okay, you have no idea

that it's about to be the end
of the world as we know it.

Uh, he just started following
Greta Thunberg on Twitter.

Climate change.
Scary stuff.

You're a freak, Kent.

What the hell was that?

It's nothing.
It's fine.

No, you are definitely not
fine, which is totally cool,

considering what you've been
through, but...

maybe you shouldn't be here.

Where do you want to go?

Follow me.

You're gonna skip
on your first day back?

[school bell rings]

We're so gonna get busted.

You look exactly the same
as you did in high school.

Good genes, I guess.

You have the same look
on your face,

like you got the weight
of the world on your shoulders.

You know,
you don't have to do this.

There's always another way.

I don't think
you really believe that.

You're the hero
right now, Lana.

Also, did Superman
just lie to me?

[chuckles]

Lana. Lana.

Earth to Lana.
Hey.

Hey, Kyle.Sorry.

[sighs] You were really
zoning out there.

Well, I just didn't get
a lot of sleep last night.

Yeah, you didn't
call me back either.

Uh, just... I wanted to see
how things went with Sarah.

The car?

- Did she love the car?
- Oh, yeah.

Yeah, she did.
I'm sorry.

I-I should have called
you back.

It's fine.
Um...

so did y'all take it
for a spin?

Actually,
we didn't get a chance.

Why not?

[cell phone buzzes]

Oh, God, I really can't talk.

Can you do me a favor and, um,
pick up the girls from school?

Yeah. Sure.

Thank you.

Important call?

Oh, just my new assistant
wondering where I am.

Got to go.

Bye.

[door opens, bells jingle]

[whooshing]

What are you doing here?

I was hoping we could talk.

I have nothing to say to you.

You're angry.

From what I could tell,

you didn't exactly have
the best...

support system over there.

My family? Supportive?

And I'm sorry for that.
You deserve better.

But you made a lot
of bad choices,

ones that cost
people their lives.

- And that's on you.
- [sighs]

[♪]

[sighs]

You really come all the way
here just to tell me that?

I came here because
I think there's more

to you than what I've seen.

You're a good kid
who went down the wrong path,

and I want to give you
the chance to make up

for some of the hurt
you've caused.

Yeah?
How's that?

Help me save your world...

and mine.

Help me stop Ally.

You know, maybe...

maybe if my dad had ever...

I don't know,
just talked to me

the way you are right now,
maybe I'd be on your side.

But he didn't.

Tell me what she's planning.

You know the answer to that.

- She's gonna fix the worlds.
- No, she isn't.

Because I have the pendant.

- And after I destroy it...
- You can't destroy it.

[scoffs] My father
already tried and failed.

And you'll fail, too.

When she realizes
that I'm not coming back,

she's gonna come here,

and she's gonna take
what's rightfully hers.

You saw her, Superman.

Ally's a God.

The people on my Earth
are gonna merge

with the people
on your Earth,

and there's absolutely nothing
you can do to stop it.

[♪]

I wish I had better news,
but that kid's right.

The pendant's nearly
impossible to destroy.

You're saying
it's indestructible.

Not indestructible, per se.

But the amount
of concentrated energy

it would take to destroy it
is a lot more

than what you can supply,

and using any tech we have
here, much too dangerous.

Well, dangerous is one thing.
Impossible is something else.

I'm gonna need a little time
to think about it.

We may have a better idea.

What is it?

Show him the plans.

[dramatic music]

[♪]

You want to destroy
the portal.

A controlled explosion.

That would make
the mines inoperable.

Small price to pay
for saving the world.

Yeah, our world maybe,
but what about theirs?

Yes, destroying the portal

prevents Ally's followers
from coming here,

but it also keeps us
from getting back there.

You're worried
about our new prisoner?

And what
about all the innocent people

whose lives are being destroyed by Ally?

They have no one left
over there to protect them.

They're gonna need our help.

You can't save
everybody, Clark.

I have to try.

It's the promise I made,
the promise we made.

You don't know
what's happened

on her world since you left.

You need to concentrate
on this one.

He's right.

We do what we can
with the information we have.

We save our own.

[scoffs]
Correct me if I'm wrong.

The last time the two
of you came up with a plan

to do that,
it was by killing me.

In the moment, it seemed
like our only option.

Exactly my point.

There's always another way.

And we're gonna find one.

[knock at door]

I lied to Kyle...

which, for the record,
is something I have never done.

Yeah, of course.

Don't say "of course"

like you know
what I'm talking about.

I'm sorry.

I understand
why you're mad at Clark.

I'm not mad at Clark.

You're not?

I was mad at him.

Then I tried
to put myself in his shoes

and realized I couldn't.

The man literally carries

the weight of the world
on his shoulders.

When he figured out who he was,
what he was, he was just a kid.

We were kids.

I don't blame him for not
telling me the truth back then.

It hurts,
but I can't be mad about it.

Are you sure?
'Cause you seem kind of mad.

- I'm mad at you.
- Me?

When you moved to Smallville,

we didn't have
to become friends.

We could have been neighborly,
waving hello at the bus stop,

but you sought me out,
and I trusted you.

Lana, I understand how
this must feel for you.

No, you don't, Lois,

because I've told you a lot.

After Sarah's quinceañera,

when my marriage was
falling apart, I called you.

You've become
the person that I call.

And this whole time
you've been keeping

this huge secret from me.

It wasn't my secret
to share.

But you knew,
and I didn't,

which means our entire
friendship was built on a lie.

There's nothing real
between us.

Please don't say that.

It's not true,
and it's not how I feel.

Maybe not...

but it is how I feel.

And the worst part about it

is that you've made me
a liar, too.

[♪]

Okay, remember, guys,
you can't tell anyone.

Not even your parents.

Obviously.

Uh, maybe
you shouldn't show us.

Look, I'm not trying
to get you guys in trouble,

but don't you feel like
our parents still view us all

as little kids?

- All the time.
- Yeah, sometimes.

So I decided to do
something about it.

Whoa.

You built
your own kill suit?

It's still very much
a work in progress,

but the bones are there.

How did you figure out
how to do this?

Basically designed
my dad's suit.

- So is this for you?
- It was.

But after your run-in
with your lookalike,

I thought you might need it
more than I do.

It should prevent
any more non-consensual merging.

[laughs]
This is... I mean,

this is the coolest present
I've ever gotten.

- Yeah, and we have the PS5.
- Okay, don't get too excited.

It doesn't actually work yet.

In order to power the suit
I still need the key component,

but I can't get it by myself.

I need your help
digging it out.

Okay. Where to?

[doors clanging]

Were you aware
that the discovery of gold

at Sutter's Mill in 1848

sparked the largest migration

in the history
of the United States?

I wouldn't have taken you for
much of a human history buff.

There's only so many times
a grown man can read

"The Fault in Our Stars."

It's been a while, brother.

I was beginning to think
you'd forgotten all about me.

Actually, you and I just
spent a bit of time together.

You crossed over.

Well, what was it like?

Did you meet my wife?

Would you believe me
if I told you

that you helped save
my son's life?

Of course I would.

In any other world, brother,

you and I are
the best of friends.

It's only in this one
that you find yourself

unable to trust me.

Maybe I could...

if you helped me here and now.

There's always an "if"
with you, isn't there?

I need to destroy
Ally's pendant.

I can't do it alone, but
if we combined our strength...

Cut to the chase.
What would I get in return?

Well, for starters, I could
bring you some new books.

Oh, a library card.
How very generous of you.

If you're asking
to be released...

I wouldn't waste a wish on
something I know I can't have.

Then what do you want?

Simple.

I want my brother back.

Like I said,
this would be a first step

to building
that kind of relationship.

Please. I saved your life,
and it still wasn't enough.

Nothing I do
will ever be enough...

because it's not you
I have to convince, is it?

[♪]

- [door closes]
- Clark?

Clark?

Guess who Lana
hates more than you.

Uh, Kyle?

No, me!
Can you believe it?

Of course you can't,
because it makes no sense,

and it's just another
classic example

of women holding each other
to higher standards

than we hold men.

No, I know, I know, babe.

And I want to hear
all about it, but right now

there's someone here
who wants to talk to you.

Just follow me.

[♪]

Hello, Lois.

What the hell
is he doing here?

[sighs] It's complicated, but
if I'm gonna have any chance

of destroying Ally's
pendant, I need his help.

I've come to try and make amends.

Oh, really?

Well, which part did you
want me to forgive first...

how you kidnapped my son?

Or how you tried to eradicate
all of humanity?

- Lois.
- Or was it when you rewrote

my article in
the "Daily Planet"?

I told you
she'd bring that up.

Okay, Lois, please, will you
just hear him out, for me?

- Why should I?
- Because just listen to him.

Lois, I'm not expecting you
to forgive me.

I hope only
that you'll allow me to explain

what I've only
recently discovered myself.

My father sent me on a path
when I was a child,

a-a very painful one.

But I was convinced
that if I fulfilled his dreams,

then my own
might also come true,

that I may... one day be reunited
with my brother.

I had no idea that Kal already
had a family of his own,

and when he chose you
over me, I got angry.

Wow.
Is everything my fault today?

I saw you as an obstacle
that I needed to overcome.

But I was wrong.

I see that now,
and I'm sorry.

If I hadn't wasted so much time
doing someone else's bidding,

I might have found
a family here in all of you.

We'll never know.

But you can trust me, Lois,
when I tell you

I will never hurt anyone
you love again.

[dramatic music]

[♪]

- Someone's coming.
- It's John Henry and your dad.

We've got to get you
out of here.

You're not going anywhere.

If I thought for one second

that you would take
the information we gave you

and bring it to this guy...

- I had no choice.
- We gave you a choice.

Dooming an entire
civilization to a merciless god

is hardly a choice.

You of all people
should know that.

I'm sorry, Clark,
I know he's your brother,

but that doesn't mean
we can trust him.

I'm not asking you
to trust him.

- I'm asking you to trust me.
- Clark, he is a sociopath.

There's no need
for name-calling.

Enough!

Look, I don't love the plan
either, but Clark is right.

It's the best one we have,

and every second
we waste arguing,

we leave ourselves
and the people we love

vulnerable to Ally's next move,
like Lana and Lucy.

Ally is gonna get to Lucy
before we do,

and you know it, Dad.

So just figure this out.

I have something
I have to do.

[♪]

[sighs]

What's your idea?

The DOD got rid
of most of the X-K.

My dad and I found some near
the portal the other day,

so I don't think
they got all of it.

- So that's where we're going?
- No.

There's too many soldiers
guarding it.

The map said there were
other caverns further in.

Nat, why don't we just
use some from the stash

you got with your dad?

'Cause if he saw any missing,
he'd know something was up.

I don't need another lecture

on not interfering
in adult situations.

- I get those a lot.
- [scoffs] Yeah.

I still can't believe you're
using X-K to power the suit.

Well, in their purest form,

those crystals contain
an insane amount of energy.

And I think we just hit...

the mother lode.

[♪]

Let's get to work.

[music playing softly
through headphones]

[♪]

Sarah.

Come on.
You got me today.

Where's Mom?

No idea.

That woman is full
of secrets lately.

Yep.

Hey, um...

is there something going on
that I should know about?

This morning your mom was
just, uh... just off.

I don't know.
Maybe.

I mean, she did got for, like,
a six-hour walk yesterday,

so...

Who the hell goes
for a six-hour walk?

Oh, Dad,
I wouldn't be too worried.

I mean, a worry is a wish
for something you don't want.

Learned that
in therapy, so...

Well, that's money
well spent.

[chuckles]

Come on,
we got to go get your sister,

- get her to ballet, all right?
- Mm-hmm.

It's getting pretty late...
if we don't get home soon,

Mom and Dad
are gonna start texting us.

Yeah.
How much more do we need?

[sighs]
More than this.

God, I wish we had
my dad's rock-grinder thingy.

Let me guess...
another awesome invention?

Jeez, you guys sure do make
being smart cool.

I have an idea.

- Step back.
- All right.

[tool clangs]

[dramatic music]

[♪]

Screw smart.
I'd rather have powers.

[chuckles]

[♪]

[rumbling]

Um, guys?

It's gonna cave in.

Run!

[dramatic music]

[♪]

- [all coughing]
- [sighs]

[laughs]

- A-are you guys okay?
- Yeah.

Yeah.
I mean, not to bum you out,

but if Sarah
ever sees you do that,

you guys are definitely
getting back together.

- Yeah, dude.
- You think so?

Yeah. Yeah.

Wait, guys.

Where's the bag of X-K?

You sure this is gonna work?

It's like Jon-El said,
I can't do it alone.

But my mother thought
the other Kal-El and I

would have a chance
if we tried together.

- This was Mother's idea?
- Mm.

And the thought
of using maybe your brother

instead of that thing
never crossed her mind?

Tal.

Some things never change.

What do your readings say?

That his mom was right.

[♪]

These two should be
more than enough.

Well, then...
no time like the present.

[♪]

Ready?

Just one thing...

[♪]

♪ Dust it all off

♪ Put my head down

♪ And just breathe

- Hey.
- Hey.

♪ And just breathe

What's that?

One of those new
Olivia Rodrigo songs?

Actually, it's one of my own.

Oh, you're writing
your own songs now.

Yeah, I'm trying to work
through the rage.

It... it helps.

I can see that.

Well, hell, you got enough
here for an entire album.

I mean, that's
kind of the goal, right?

So... give it.

Thank you.

Um... so, hey, you know,
I was... I was thinking a bit

- more about... about your mama...
- Mm-hmm.

And, uh, this walk
that she went on.

You think that she was
with someone?

Huh?

Well, like... like...
like a... like, a guy?

Maybe.
I'm not too sure, though.

Mi'jita, what are
you not telling me?

[♪]

Is your... is your mama dating
someone already?

I don't know.
I have no idea.

If you want to talk to Mom

about her personal life,
then do it.

In case you haven't noticed,
I'm trying to deal

with my own kind of breakup.

Oh, I'm... I'm so sorry.

You're right.

Dad, I didn't...
I didn't mean it like that.

- No.
- It's just that, you know...

I got to go
get Soph anyway.

You just keep writing
your music, okay?

- It's really good.
- Thank you.

[♪]

[door opens, closes]

[exhales deeply, strums chord]

[line trilling]

Hey, you've reached Tonya.
Leave a message.

- [line beeps]
- Hey, Tonya.

It's, uh... it's Kyle.

Listen, can you give me
a call when you get a chance?

[distant telephone ringing]

Mayor Lang, Lois Lane
is here to see you.

Thanks, Beau.

The office looks great.

Lois, I'm really busy
right now.

I know, so I will cut
to the chase.

I came here to tell you
what I should have told you

this morning,
which is that I am sorry.

Sometimes I forget

how important
those two little words are.

You were right.
I was really selfish.

I wanted to be your friend,
and I didn't think

about whether
it was fair to you.

You have
to understand, Lana,

my life was so different
in Metropolis.

The boys were little.

I was working
around the clock.

I didn't have time
for friends.

So it was easy
to keep the secret.

And then we moved here, and
you and I started hanging out,

and I felt this connection.

Yeah.
I felt it, too.

I hadn't had
a real girlfriend

since my sister
and I had our falling-out.

I didn't want to give it up.

So I convinced myself
that it was Clark's secret.

And that wasn't true.

Listen, I know
it's gonna take a lot of time

to earn back your trust,
but I want to start now.

[scoffs]
What do you mean by now?

Clark being Superman
is just the tip of the iceberg.

There's a lot more
you need to know.

Once you have
all that information,

you can decide
what to do with it.

I didn't even realize
I had a choice.

Of course you do.

We love you, Lana.

It's up to you whether or not
you decide to tell your family.

Let's start with Jordan.

Turns out he takes
after his dad.

Oh.

[♪]

Interesting location.

Couldn't have found

an abandoned
tropical beach somewhere?

[♪]

I think we'd all feel better
if what's left of the pendant

when you're done winds up
at the bottom of that volcano.

Very well, then.
Shall we?

Whenever you're ready.

It's working.

Wait.
What the hell just happened?

[♪]

I'm taking back
what's mine.

So that's what
becoming whole looks like.

We can't have that,
now, can we?

Tal!

[groaning]

[dramatic music]

[♪]

Tal.

What did she just do to me?

[♪]

Superman!

Tal's down.

Ally's got the pendant.

We have to stop her
before she gets to the portal.

On my way.
Fire up the suit!

[device whirring]

[♪]

John, she's got Superman.
You need to hurry.

[♪]

Lock on target.

I told you, Superman,
we would become gods.

[♪]

Aah!

[♪]

I don't have
much left, brother.

Neither do I.

Make it quick.

[♪]

Together, then.

[♪]

Almost there.

Give it everything you got!

[both screaming]

No!

[screaming continues]

[♪]

[exhales sharply in relief]

[♪]

[breathes deeply]

[♪]

[breathing heavily]

Tal?

[♪]

We should've kept him
in cuffs.

What do you mean
she stole your power?

Not stole exactly...

more like siphoned.

She was feeding off my energy
to make herself stronger.

I felt
that sensation before.

When?

When I tried
to stop her from merging.

Today was ten times worse.

But at least now,
with the pendant destroyed,

it won't happen
to anyone else,

which means we only have
to worry about Ally.

And Tal-Rho.

I wouldn't worry
about him.

What? So dude brings you
some flowers,

and then all is forgiven?

He risked his life
to save ours,

not once but twice.

And they weren't just flowers.
They were peonies.

Destroying the pendant
didn't solve our problem.

It only enraged Ally,
which means she'll be back.

So now we have an enemy
who can steal Superman's powers

and potentially use them
against us.

How the hell do we defeat
something like that?

[dramatic music]

[♪]

- Are you making dinner?
- It's just salad and hot dogs.

But the salad does have
pumpkin seeds,

so you can tell
an effort has been made.

I mean,
you are literally the best.

- Thank you.
- [chuckles]

Yeah.
I'm just trying to help.

I can tell you've been
overwhelmed lately, so...

Uh...

so Dad picking us up
from school...

you must be really busy.

Was everything okay
with your dad?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's just I think that you guys
need to have a conversation.

What about?

Come on, Mom,
Dad's not an idiot.

He can tell
when something's up with you.

It's just...

if you are dating
somebody, then...

Dating someone?
Why on Earth would I even...

I don't want to hear
about it.

In fact, I'd, like, rather you
never speak to me about that.

I'm just saying
that if you...

if you are totally over Dad,
then you should tell him,

'cause he does deserve to know.

Honey,
I'm not dating anyone.

So then what is it?

'Cause you have been acting
kind of weird.

[♪]

Whatever it is,
you... you can trust me with it.

I know I can.

[♪]

I know.

Come here.

Is everything okay?

Everything is fine...
okay?

I just, uh...

I just learned something
that's kind of a big deal,

and I want to share it
with you.

Sarah.

SSSniperWolf just posted
a new video.

- Come watch with me.
- Okay, I'll...

I'll be there in a second.

God, she's growing up so fast.

[♪]

Um, I'm sorry, Mom.
What were you saying?

Oh, uh, yeah.

Uh, uh, there's an internship

available in my office,

and I know that you're looking
to beef up your college résumé,

so I figure...

Internship, uh...

Y-yeah.
Do you mind if I...

if I think about it?

Oh, absolutely.
Take your time.

[knock at door]

- Uh, I'll grab it.
- Oh, it's okay. I'll get it.

You go be with your sister.

[♪]

Hey.

Can we talk somewhere...

in private?

[laughter]

Okay, okay, when that boulder

was going to fall
on your head,

all right, I swear,
I almost let it hit you.

No, but we were so close.

Okay, but we can
always go back tomorrow.

Okay, we got to get
to school eventually,

'cause I have a sandwich
in my locker,

and it will start to smell.
[laughter]

What's happening here?

You know,
just a little family bonding.

Okay.

I like seeing that.

So how was school?
Anything exciting happen?

- Both: No.
- Very dull.

Okay.

Well, your dad and I had
a very productive day.

- What happened?
- Did you seal the portal?

We may not need to anymore.
The pendant has been destroyed.

No way!
You're kidding!

So what... I mean,
Ally can't force

anyone else
to merge, then, right?

Yeah, that...
that may be so, but, like,

she's still out there
somewhere.

Yeah.

You boys want to stay
for dinner?

- Sure.
- Cool.

Text your folks,
then you can help us make it.

Saw that coming.

- You got it?
- Yeah.

Come on,
I'm not making it by myself.

[keypad clicking]

[phone buzzes]

[♪]

Oh.

Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Kent.

Hey, Sarah.

Mom, do you mind if I go out
with Dad for a bit?

Sure.
Just be back by 10:00.

Okay.
Uh, bye, guys.

[whispering]
Did you tell her?

I couldn't.

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

but I can't ask her to lie
to her sister or her father,

for that matter.

It's not fair to Sarah.

That makes sense.

So I have a doppelganger

somewhere out there who may try
to come and kill me.

I'm not gonna let
that happen.

We're just making you aware
as the situation unfolds,

not because there's anything
you should do right now.

Is Smallville in danger?

Honestly,
we can't be sure of anything

as long as Ally's
still out there.

We just wanted you to know
what we know.

Like you said in your
interview, full transparency.

I appreciate that.

And I want you both to know
that even though

it's gonna take some time
to get over the... hurt,

I will get over it.

And I'm not mad
at either of you.

[chuckles softly]
I'm really happy to hear that.

But I also can't have you
in my life right now...

not just mine, but my kids'.

I don't want to feel like
I'm lying to them

every time
our families are together.

And I think it would be easier
for everyone

if we just made a clean break.

[♪]

Lana, please.

I'm sorry, but that's just
the way it has to be right now.

[♪]

[indistinct chatter]

Um, I know
I'm pretty mature for my age,

but you know I'm not
actually 21, right?

Yeah, I'm aware.

Okay.

Wait, is this...

No, no, no, I'm not here
to meet your old hookup.

No. No. No, no, no.
You're not.

Okay, look, she doesn't
even work here anymore.

But she, uh...
she did do us a solid.

It's open-mic night,

you know, and I heard that...
what was it, Billie Eilish?

Well, she got famous
when she was 11.

So I figured, uh,

why not launch the next big thing
right here in Smallville?

Dad, I'm not
the next big thing.

Oh, but that's
the goal, right?

Come on,
you got to start somewhere.

Tonya cleared everything
with the manager.

Hey, look,
she feels as badly

about... what happened as I do.

- Yeah, I'm sure she does.
- Okay, stage is open.

Why don't you just
get up there

and show 'em
what you got, hmm?

- Right now?
- Yeah.

No.

- Um...
- Andale.

You got this.

Hey, y'all.

Uh, I'm Sarah Cortez,
and these are my songs.

[light guitar music playing]

[♪]

♪ They say love is the way,
but that can't be right ♪

♪ When every happy ever after

♪ Ends in goodbye

♪ There's a voice telling me
this anxiety will cease ♪

♪ And I'll know it all

♪ I'm reaching for the stars
and hoping ♪

♪ That the sky won't fall

♪ I'm tired of it all

Then it's over.

We've lost.

We haven't lost.

But without the pendant?

There are other ways.

[door closes]

[♪]

Where's Lana?
I want to talk to Lana.

That's not gonna happen...

ever again.

I saw what happened
when you merged.

I saw your fear.

Your plan to save everyone,

it's not gonna work.

I should have listened
to my brother.

You are no savior.

[echoing]
Not yet.

[groaning]

[screaming]

[♪]

[gasps]

[♪]

[echoing]
But I will be.

[♪]

Greg, move your head.
