Everyone, I need you to step away from your locker.

They are meeting right now

to decide to have you expelled!

You don't love me anymore?

I think that you need to move out.

Dad calling for, like, the hundredth time.

It'd be good for you to just

vent to a friend a little bit.

Aubrey.

Maybe we could be friends again?

Dean's acting like he's

the family values candidate.

- What's wrong? - It's your dad.

You're Superman.

You were supposed to keep him safe.

Forged in Fire.

Strong as steel.

I found Kal-El.

I'm gonna kill him.

I don't want anything to happen to you.

I'm coming right back.

I love you, Dad.

Dad?

Your father's not yet returned from his mission.

What's happening? Hedy?

I'm detecting some sort of temporal anomaly

moving through our galaxy.

It's compromising the integrity of our dimension.

Establish a link to my dad.

He's just left orbit.

Just do it, please!

Yeah, of course.

Why is this happening now?

Recovery takes time.

They canceled the season?

We had to forfeit all the wins.

You mean you won't.

No, Dad. You don't understand--

No, Jon. I don't understand.
