Previously on "Superman and Lois"...

I was there the night that that thing came,

and I saw what happened to your dad.

Jordan told me everything about your dad

and who he really is.

Sell me your farm, you get $10 million.

It's a lot of money to turn down.

It's nothing compared to what you sacrificed.

Aidy thinks I'm Superman,

and I'm pretty sure she's not the only one.

[soft dramatic music]

When I first started out as Superman in Metropolis,

being a hero was easy.

Excuse me, do you know where Milledge Avenue is?

[tires squealing]

In a big city like that, I could disappear

at a moment's notice.

And I was just another face in the crowd.

In Smallville, I was just Clark Kent.

Why would anyone suspect otherwise?

[screaming, robbers shouting]

♪ ♪

But then I died.

And some people saw something, something that

raised questions about me.

Breaking news out of Metropolis this afternoon.

A 1974 Model Helbing 562 twin-engine passenger aircraft

originating from Milwaukee and en route to Atlanta

has blown both engines just after takeoff.

Oh, um, you know what?

I think I... I left my wallet in the car.

I'll be right back.

The 50-year-old aircraft was due

to retire next month after failing

- multiple safety inspections. - Hold on there, Brian.

It appears Superman has arrived just in time.

Thanks, Isabel.

Once again, Superman arrives to save the day

and save countless lives.

Found it. [chuckles]

Investigators to the scene to determine what caused this.

You're back already?

I just went to the parking lot.

Right, yes. Yeah, um.

That is $15.46.

You have got to be kidding me.

How did I miss step 27?

Maybe we can help?

Does it look like I need help?

- You're doing great, Mom. - No, you don't need help.

This is supposed to be a nice gift for Chrissy and Kyle.

Oh, everything okay?

- Of course everything's okay. Is everything okay with you?

Yeah, yeah. No, I'm good.

Just making some progress on my list.

You mean your "convince everyone

you're not Superman" list?

Look, too many people are getting suspicious.

We gotta put the genie back in the bottle

before it's too late, so I'm crossing Denise Olowe

off my list, which just leaves Aidy Manning and...

both: Coach Gaines.

Yeah, he's next.

The secret's very important,

so we all have to do whatever it takes.

Well, good luck with that.

We're gonna go see a movie.

Any news on Luthor?

He just went back to his old apartment in Metropolis.

He should be in prison.

Has John Henry gotten Otis to talk?

Not yet, but he says it's just a matter of time.

He better hurry.

The last time Luthor went this quiet,

he created a monster that literally killed you.

[pensive music]

Just imagine it.

It has multiple rooms, laundry that doesn't require quarters.

Oh, look at that.

A backyard for family barbecues.

And we can have an actual nursery.

Mm-hmm.

Our baby deserves a nursery, Kyle.

Yeah.

This house is just perfect.

Well, how much does perfect cost?

Oh.

Oh, well, that is...

- Totally out of our budget. I know.

I shouldn't have even been looking at it.

No, no. Hey.

Look, you and I, we... we need a perfect house

because we're about to have a perfect baby.

[chuckles]

So if this is the one, then we'll figure out

a way to make it work, okay?

Okay.

Hey, Coach.

Hey, hey, Kent.

You here to accept my job offer?

It's a pretty good salary for an assistant coach.

But a guy like you is worth it.

I'm afraid I have to decline.

Is this about the boys not playing?

Because I'm working on that.

You can stop working on it.

And I didn't entirely appreciate the girls comment.

It's not really a reason someone should play football.

Who said anything about girls?

I simply said that football is a super way to build character,

which your boys are gonna need if they're gonna follow

in their father's footsteps.

Well, frankly, the last time Jonathan was on the team,

he took drugs, so.

I don't think he needed them.

I don't think anybody needs drugs.

- [whispers] You know what I mean.

I... I'm not sure I do. Um.

Oh, hey, Coach, you're gonna want to watch...

ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!

- Ow? - Ow!

Ow?

Ow!

- Ow? - Ow!

Uh, are you okay, Kent?

I don't know, I think I might have sprained something.

I'm not a doctor. It just hurts. Ow!

Okay, I'm gonna get some ice.

Yeah.

Ow?

We need some ice!

Hey, we need some ice!

What, are you worried you're gonna get hurt?

This is the "Daily Planet"

softball team we're talking about.

It's not some underground fight club.

- Jimmy's right. You should join.

You love baseball.

Yeah, I... I know.

Just, I've never actually played.

Neither has most of the team.

Okay, ignore my sister.

She and your fiancé hang out all the time.

But what about us? Come on.

Can't we be pals?

We already are, aren't we?

Friends hang out outside of work.

What better way to do that than by taking back our trophy

from those pretentious jerks at "The Star"?

- Yeah. - Yeah, what do you say?

You in?

Jimmy, I'm sorry, I'm just... I'm really swamped

with this Intergang story right now.

See? I told you he'd say no.

Always does.

Right. Maybe next time, CK.

You know we don't have any leads on the Intergang story.

I can't join a softball team.

My dad never wanted me to play sports for obvious reasons.

But especially now with Superman,

I can't risk drawing attention to myself.

No matter who you are, you're still allowed to have friends.

I have friends.

Not friends all the way in Smallville.

Friends you can actually hang out with.

It doesn't matter. If I played, I'd be cheating.

Then don't cheat. Be terrible.

It's not about winning.

Be terrible.

Be terrible. Well, not terrible.

I could... oh! Oh, I could bunt!

I could be the bunt guy!

- I love bunts! - Great.

I don't know what that means.

But, yes, you see, you can do it.

Yes, I can do this.

Thanks, babe.

Uh, hey, Jimmy?

Had a thought.

How low are your expectations?

I saw the first one four times.

[laughter]

Now I plan on taking a drink every time

there's a severed limb.

[laughter]

There he is.

The star quarterback.

Dude, I told Gaines I can't play.

Position's yours.

Because that's the only way I could get it, right?

I could never dream of beating you.

Timmy, what's your problem?

My problem is that I worked my ass off for football

while the Wonder Twins here have superpowers.

Wait, you think we have powers?

Do you hear how crazy that sounds?

Always wondered how you were so good as a freshman.

I had to take X-K just to keep up.

But that's because you were super-powered this whole time.

- That's not what happened. - Stop lying.

I know it's true!

- I'm not lying. - Yes, you are.

Why don't you show them who you are?

Get out of my face.

- You ruined my life, Kent. - Get out of my face.

I'm not gonna get out of your face.

Why don't you show them who you are!

Get out of my face!

You've ruined my life, Kent.

Okay.

So me and Kyle, we've been looking and looking,

- Lois, it's the house. - That's amazing.

Except it's not even remotely in our price range.

And I've been over and over it,

if I sell my share of the "Gazette."

Chrissy.

I'm really sorry.

Well, you don't get to make a decision like that without me.

I thought we were building something here.

We are.

We were.

We're supposed to be a team.

And I love our team. I really do.

But I'm about to have a new team.

And the way this baby stomps on my bladder every minute,

they're gonna need a yard to run around in.

No, I get that. Of course I do.

I just... if you sell,

that could mean the end of the "Gazette."

And that's the last thing I'd ever want.

I'm... I'm flat broke.

But that particular tragedy is not what

I wanted to talk to you about.

Well, what's going on?

It's about Timmy Ryan.

I saw him earlier today with the boys.

He was accusing Jon of cheating at football

and then talking about how he didn't think

it was fair that he should have to compete

for a spot against Superboy.

Okay, so now Timmy Ryan knows.

Is there anyone in this town I don't have to worry about?

Same as always.

You're a lucky lady. Don't you ever forget it.

Yeah, I think we know who the lucky one is.

Hey, you and me, man, this is the start of something great.

You hear me?

Next thing I know, you're gonna be trying out

Is that too much? Should I have struck out?

No, it was great.

And that smile looks good on you too.

Well, I've never been part of the team before.

I didn't know it felt this good.

I hate having to lie like that.

You didn't, though. Not really.

And besides, Malcolm and Wellnitz

just thought he was crazy anyway.

Yeah, but he's not.

And we just let them make fun of him for us.

With him coming at us like that,

we didn't really have a choice.

Besides, Timmy was wrong anyway.

You didn't even have powers back then.

Yeah, but I can't say that and defend myself.

I had to lie about it.

Having powers isn't always awesome.

Welcome to the club.

- Chrissy wants out? - Yep.

She already called that awful conglomerate

that tried to buy us out a while back.

But reporting is her superpower.

And you two make a great team.

I know.

Boys, dinner!

Well, they must be desperate.

Kyle is selling his grill.

What?

Grilling is his superpower.

Hey.

So I hear Timmy Ryan knows you two have powers?

He doesn't know.

Not for sure, anyway.

But he was pretty mad.

Okay, so I'm gonna have to add him to the list.

Look, just tell me now.

Is there anyone else who might know?

Candice knows.

You told your girlfriend?

He didn't. I did.

What? When?

When she was visiting.

She's known since the 4th?

Well, I had to keep sneaking off to help Mom,

and she knew I was lying.

- So this is my fault? - No!

And I wasn't gonna tell her, but she was really hurt,

and she was about to break up with me.

- Then you let her. - Dad, come on.

Don't even start with me. You should know better.

Yeah, I do.

'Cause I lost Sarah for the same reason,

and I didn't want Jon to have to go through that.

This isn't about what you want.

That wasn't your decision to make.

We can trust Candice.

You can't possibly know that. She's 16.

She doesn't even live in Smallville.

Like everyone in this town isn't already

telling everyone else about it.

I'm fixing that.

Sure, you are.

What don't you two get?

The secret is everything.

It's the only thing that gives us a chance at a normal life.

This life is hardly normal.

You mean about how he went off at us for no reason?

It wasn't without reason.

Candice deserved to know the truth.

This isn't about Candice.

Your father has been keeping this a secret his whole life.

We know.

He only holds it over our heads, like, all the time.

But I still don't think you understand

what it actually means.

Do you know how old your dad was when he got powers?

He was four.

And his parents, they meant well,

but they were so hard on him whenever he used them.

We know what that's like.

He was just a little kid, Jordan.

And his parents were terrified that if anyone

found out what he was capable of,

he'd be taken away from them.

So he grew up with that constant fear.

That's not going to happen now.

I know, but keeping this secret

is truly all he's ever known.

Until he told you.

Mr. Irons, Miss Lang, Chrissy.

But there are so many other people he didn't tell.

And these are people who were really important to him.

He was on an island, isolated for so long.

Okay, but that was his decision.

Yeah, and he made it with good reason.

Listen, all I'm asking of you guys

is to cut your dad some slack.

He might act like keeping this secret

didn't cost him anything, but I promise you,

it is not true.

I know.

But it would have been more than enough

for the down payment.

And don't worry.

I could find another job after the baby is here.

Yeah, but that is a big life decision.

Doesn't even matter anyway 'cause the only lead I had

turned out to be a shell corporation for Luthor.

The greatest secret of all time was right in front of me,

and I never had a clue.

How is that possible?

Um, it took a lot of work to keep that secret.

And you'd be surprised what a pair of glasses will do.

Why come forward now?

When I was starting out as Superman in Metropolis,

being a hero was easy.

And in Smallville, I was just Clark Kent.

And why would anyone suspect otherwise?

I kept my abilities hidden.

Never used them for my own gain.

And for a lot of years, that worked.

[soft music]

Uh, but then I...

I died.

And some people thought they saw something.

I tried to change their minds, but...

I made good people doubt themselves, and that...

that felt wrong.

And finally, I saw the strain that my double life

was putting on my family, and...

I decided it was time to let go.

But despite all of that, keeping the secret, it's...

it's all I've ever known.

Putting yourself out there to the world,

how does that make you feel?

Nervous, but also excited.

Every day of my life, I've had to hide a huge part

of who I really am.

And now I won't have to do that.

What do you most want people to know about you?

That I'm just a regular guy.

But you're anything but regular.

Okay. Fair, fair.

But, you know, beyond the powers,

you know, I'm a husband, um,

I'm a father to two amazing sons.

When they were little, being Superman, I missed a lot.

And I made a lot of mistakes and struggled to...

to balance it all.

You know, but really, I'm just like anyone else out there

who loves their family and,

you know, wants to be better for them.

I think we can all relate.

Let's back up.

Who were your parents?

And we are clear! Great work, everybody.

[applause]

Was it okay?

I didn't really know what to do with my hands.

Trust me, you were great.

Better than great. You crushed it.

- [phone rings] - I should take this.

Was there anything I missed?

Uh, actually, yeah.

There is one thing.

After many long years, team "Daily Planet"

finally sent the "Daily Star" packing!

Yeah, all right!

And the Metro Cup is back home where it belongs!

[cheering]

Hey, Jimmy?

Congrats.

Sorry, I don't really know what to say.

It's fine.

I guess something crazy happened again.

At least Supes got the day off.

No saves, as far as I can tell.

I get it now. I was wrong.

You just didn't wanna play.

No, no, no, no, I really did. Honestly, I just...

It's fine.

Hey, we won.

You... you and me, no one said we have to be buds.

All right, team, let's go!

Last one to Bibbowski's picks up the tab!

[cheering]

You missed the game on purpose, huh?

It's the only way to keep the secret.

You okay?

Yeah.

I'm used to it.

Are you sure?

Yeah, I'm good here.

You go ahead.

Our phone's been blowing up since your interview.

But we can handle it.

And we're gonna head to Timmy's in a bit to apologize.

Okay, I...

I guess I'm off then.

It's gonna be great.

And you look good without the glasses.

Come on, get out of here.

Morning, Mr. Kent.

Hey, Denise.

Back here, CK.

Hey, Jimmy. Thanks for coming.

My sister didn't exactly give me a choice.

- You know how she is. - Yeah. [laughs]

Um...

Look, I just wanna say I'm... I'm really sorry.

It's fine. I get it.

I missed you too, pal.

We have so much to catch up on.

But first, being the Bunt King?

- That was genius. - Oh, you think so?

For sure.

The way you bunted with the tip of the bat.

Yeah, I thought it might have been too much.

But that's the...
