- Clark. Look, the other night... - Lois. Hey, about the other night...

Oh, you first.

Lois, I, uh...

Hey! Shut up and follow me.

I have an assignment for you.

You two are going to cover

Metropolis' most eligible bachelor and bachelorette contest.

No!

- What? - What the...

Hey! Perry, that's my event!

Cat, they're the only reporters Superman talks to.

What does Superman have to do with some random contest?

Oh, it's not a random contest.

It's the contest.

Lights!

The most eligible bachelor and bachelorette contest

is the highlight of the Metropolis social calendar.

- The contest... - The contest puts together

a slate of the most accomplished single people in the city.

- Then... - Then the winner is announced on live TV, live.

But why would Superman be there?

Because Superman is one of the finalists this year,

and the contest raises money for the children's hospital.

- Oh, geez. - Okay, so he'll definitely be there.

Which is why I want my number one Superman reporters on the beat.

You two, bring me gossip on Superman.

Lois, I'm... I'm worried that you're not taking this assignment seriously.

You know, I heard that Superman likes a certain stubborn reporter.

Oh, stubborn?

I think you mispronounced brilliant, Smallville.

Mr. White's texting us the info.

Okay, the press conference starts in 20.

I'll go find Jimmy.

And then after, we'll talk. Yeah?

Yeah.

See you soon.

Lane, I demand you bring me along.

Oh, um...

Perry was very clear.

So, um, why would we bring you with us?

Oh, darling. You're going to bring me along.

Because you and I both know Superman's secret, don't we?

Wow.

"It's Jimmy. The symposium sure went bad."

Huh? No.

Hey, Clark.

So, I turned the Pentagon on you.

Sorry.

Earth is for earthlings.

Hey, Clark.

How am I supposed to talk to you when I don't know how to fix this?

Watch where you're going!

Are you... all right?

Sorry. I... I... I just...

You... You okay?

You were assisting me?

I'm fine.

But who are you?

The name's Jimmy Olsen, a leader at the Planet

and head of the Flamebird division.

You're the leader of the planet?

Then you can assist me.

My name's Kara.

And I'm searching for someone.

Sure, I can help.

- Let's start over here. - Oh!

Huh?

Jimmy?

And here we are!

The main event!

Uh... Wait. Where did Kent go?

Oh. He's, um...

He's feeding the meter.

Okay. I brought you.

Now, what do you mean we know Superman's secret?

Darling, it's obvious,

because we both know that Superman is...

not single!

And we both know that Superman's significant other

is in this very room.

Because Superman is dating...

one of the other finalists.

I mean, it just makes sense.

The contestants aren't ordinary people like you and me.

Well, I mean, being one of The Planet's youngest reporters

is pretty impressive.

So, naturally, Superman is dating one of them.

We just have to figure out who

because then we can figure out his secret identity.

What secret identity?

I mean, maybe he's always Superman.

Please.

You ever see Superman at the store?

No. He's hiding among us. Disguised in plain sight.

This is the story of the century.

We are going to uncover Superman.

Great. I'll just tell Clark.

Jimmy's not coming.

We've got bigger problems.

Cat is trying to figure out who Superman is dating.

If she realizes that we're together...

She'll figure out who I am.

So, when you show up as Superman,

you have to act super single.

You can't let anyone know we're together.

So, no telling people about the brilliant reporter I'm in love with?

No, don't do that.

Of course, Lois. I won't ruin this.

I promise.

Okay. No Clark. We're in the clear.

I mean, I'm not hiding.

No one is hiding.

This...

What is this?

Ice cream?

You've never had ice cream?

Strict no-sugar parents growing up, huh?

I do have a strict father, yes.

But it's unimportant.

Uh-huh?

Well, you just say that because you never had it.

Is that a challenge?

Mmm.

What is this?

Mint chocolate chip.

It's delicious.

Oh... Hold still, you've got a...

So, uh... Who are you, uh... Who are you looking for?

I'm looking for a man, a warrior.

And the only person in the universe who will understand me.

Oh, a guy.

- My cousin. - Oh! Cousin.

Great. I have cousins.

Cousins? Am I right?

We've never met. But I know he's in this city.

- I just... I thought it would be easier to find him. - Let me help.

And maybe we can get more ice cream and a hot dog on the way. What do you say?

I say, what is a hot dog?

Members of the press.

I'm pleased to introduce the finalists

for Metropolis' most eligible contest.

Fighter pilot and S.T.A.R. Labs astronaut, Hank Henshaw!

Archer and three-time world champion, Chandi Gupta.

They climbed Mount Everest seven times.

They're Dr. Bryna Brilyant.

Influencer, philanthropist and fashion icon,

Silver St. Cloud.

And... Superman!

Who we don't know how to get ahold of

but are hoping he'll just show up.

Shoot. I... I gotta go because I...

The meter ran out.

- Right. The meter. - Ugh! Again.

So, let's open the floor to...

Sorry I'm late.

Hello, everyone.

Okay. So, let's go to the questions.

Who has one for our human finalists?

And who has one for Superman?

George Taylor, Metropolis Star.

What does the Man of Steel look for in a partner?

Well, I think kindness is important,

wanting to help others and a passion for what they do.

A bit stubborn sometimes, but she follows the stories that matter...

on TV, which she watches when she's not being a surgeon and tall.

She would be a tall surgeon. Next.

Hi, Cat Grant. The Daily Planet.

Any interest in your fellow finalists?

I know there's someone I'm interested in.

Oh, that's a good one.

Kidding aside, I'd love it if I could get you interested

in helping the Combined Charities of Metropolis Foundation.

- I run it. - You do?

The foundation does incredible work. I'd be honored.

Oh. That's wonderful.

It'll mean so much to the foundation staff.

Well, I'd, uh, hate to disappoint.

I can't imagine the Superman disappointing anyone.

Ms. St. Cloud... - Oh, Silver, please.

Um, Silver. Truthfully, I don't think of myself as Superman.

I consider myself a normal man.

Pfft. Normal?

I have a question for you, Superman.

At what point will you stop endangering our city?

This isn't a man.

This is an alien weapon waiting to go off.

Just look at what happened to S.T.A.R. Labs.

Uh... Did you forget the 30-foot tall monster who tried to destroy our city?

Superman saved us.

You may have the masses fooled, but those who matter are keeping their eye on you.

Earth is for earthlings, Superman.

Come on. We got what we came for.

I know who Superman is dating.

And you do too. Right, Lois?

Welcome to Metropolis.

- What do you want to see first? - Everything.

Ah!

Come on. There's one last thing you have to see.

Huh. It all makes sense now.

The signs were there staring me in the face.

The only person who could possibly be dating Superman is...

Look, Cat, I...

- Silver St. Cloud! - What?

It can't be Hank because Hank seems to hate Superman.

It can't be Bryna or Chandi because they clearly have never met him before.

But Silver defended Superman.

She's the only one he talked to,

and there's a vibe between them.

I don't think they have a vibe.

There's such a vibe!

She's a genius who made her fortune at 13.

She's smart, talented and raises millions for charity every year.

I mean, who else should Superman be with?

Well, what about me!

I'm the one who broke the Superman story.

I'm the one who got the interview with him.

Logically, it makes sense for it to be me.

Why is that so funny?

Oh! You're serious.

Lane...

Lois, he's Superman. And these people are superhuman.

The least impressive one climbed Mount Everest seven times.

- Yeah, but... - Listen, we're reporters,

outside observers looking in on worlds that we aren't a part of.

We write the story. We don't become the story.

And what you and Kent have is cute.

Focus on that.

It's my favorite view of the whole city.

I come up here all the time with Lois and...

And with my best friend.

Why did you say it that way?

Is this best friend your enemy now?

Jimmy Flamebird, I will make your enemies mine.

No, it's just...

Have you ever messed up on such a grand scale it hurts someone else?

And then you avoided them because you didn't know how to make it right.

Avoiding? Yes.

I came here against my father's wishes.

He wanted to come with me, but I wanted to do this on my own.

See a world without limits,

without rules or parameters to go to new places.

- Discover new things. - And step into...

- the unknown. - The unknown.

I'm sorry.

For assisting me?

For using you to avoid my best friend.

But nothing's solved by silence.

I have to talk to Clark.

What do you say?

One last stop on the Metropolis tour?

Ah! The big event.

You excited, Lane?

Yep. Can't wait.

They're the best of the best.

Ugh!

I can't get a signal.

They must be here somewhere.

Ugh!

There he is. You found him.

Wait, your cousin is...

Oh.

This is the moment you've all been waiting for.

Out of these luminaries, only one has captured the city's heart.

And the people's choice for most eligible is...

Superman!

Ugh!

Lois.

Finally. I have been looking for you for so long,

- hoping to meet you... - Sorry, but there's something important I need to do.

Lois, are you hurt? What's wrong?

Everything. Everything is wrong.

The contest, my dad running off, the job offer.

It's all too much.

Job offer? What job offer?

Vicki asked me to move to Gotham and become her number two.

What? Wha... Why didn't you tell me?

Because we never talk anymore.

I've been trying. I... I wanted you to be there when I set off the beacon.

You what?

This isn't coming out right.

Because this isn't working.

We don't make sense, Clark.

There's a whole room of people way better for you than I could ever be.

I mean, I'm not a genius, or billionaire, or a super-person.

I'm just me.

And it's not enough.

Everyone always leaves me in the end.

So, why are we even doing this?

Lois, are... are you breaking up with me?

Kal-El from Krypton.

I answered your call.

The beacon reached me across your galaxy,

the only other Kryptonian in existence,

and I arrive only to see you brought me to this...

sickening display.

You're Kara? You're my cousin?

And you're a disappointment.

I thought I would find a warrior.

Instead, I find a joke.

A lap dog serving as entertainment to a weak and dissolute world.

I'm not saying there aren't temptations here,

but a true Kryptonian pushes through.

This planet has made you soft.

What are you saying?

You have two choices.

Join me in conquering this planet

or kneel before the new Kryptonian empire.

No, no, no, no. That's not...

Kara, the empire is gone.

The empire is eternal.

- Primus, orders? - We have no need of weaklings.

Take him down.

Lois?

I don't want to fight you, but I won't let you hurt anyone else.

Kara, you don't have to do this.

You don't understand. We're Kryptonians.

Go. Run! Now!

You're hesitating.

Is there a problem, scion?

Or will you comply?

No, Primus. I will comply.

No!

Oh. Oh.

What is this?

Scion...

Kara, new parameters.

Bring Kal-El to me.

- Jimmy? - We have to catch them.

Come on.

Kara... Kara, you don't have to do this.

For the empire...

I'd do anything.

Status, scion.

Scion?

My daughter?

En route, Father.
