Summary
Superman & Lois 4×06: Luthor plans to move LuthorCorp to Smallville, but finds opposition in Lana Lang; Sarah faces a difficult decision; Clark confronts Luthor face-to-face; and Jonathan and Jordan learn about the consequences of having superpowers.
Positives
This episode really shows how Smallville comes together after a tragedy. In this case, it was Superman and the Kent family. With Clark now questioning his abilities even more, it’s ow fallen on Jordan and Jonathan to pick things up. I found a moment of hilariousness in this episode when Clark finds a spot of gray in his hair. Looking slightly concerned, he suffers a few digs from Lois before getting his morning started.
Jonathan is out and about, saving the world, while Jordan is at home still trying to figure things out. I really give Jonathan credit here, as he’s not showing off, in my opinion. He seems really dedicated to helping out and making things better. Now, I’m looking forward to Jordan getting back into action with his brother.
Negatives
I have no complaints about this episode.
Verdict
Superman & Lois 4×06 was a great episode and really shows how the people of Smallville can come together. Lana Lang really stands out in this episode as she takes her stand against Luthor as the mayor. When Luthor threatens Lana’s life, Clark takes it personally. The encounter between Clark and Lex in the street was something memorable. You can feel the hatred between the two and it shows in that scene. Very well done between Tyler Hoechlin and Michael Cudlitz.
Score: 5/5
