Prepared or not, Jordan was pressured to play hero on Tuesday’s episode of Superman & Lois, setting the stage for subsequent week’s universe-altering season finale. (No, we’re not being overdramatic.)
Following his brush with Ally Allston, Clark started the hour utterly drained of photo voltaic power — a predicament with no clear finish in sight, in response to Lara. And with the Bizarro universe already starting to bleed into our personal, the Man of Metal was operating out of time for a recharge.
As if that wasn’t sufficient, Lana-Rho and Jon-El additionally returned to the get together, concentrating on their powerless doppelgängers at an emergency city assembly. Although it meant exposing his powers to Sarah (eek!), Jordan took on each foes, finally taking them down with a well-timed help from Natalie.
And earlier than we even received an opportunity to fret about John Henry, who’s presently floating aimlessly by the void after a failed try at stopping Ally, the universes started to merge!
Beneath, Alex Garfin breaks down Jordan’s largest moments from the episode, providing a style of what’s nonetheless to return within the season’s remaining hour:
TVLINE | For the file, I’m nonetheless processing that Lana is aware of Clark’s secret, and now Sarah is aware of Jordan’s?
[Laughs] It does seem to be there are numerous secrets and techniques being spilled round right here. The unique plan was truly for Sarah to be the primary one who finds out the key [before Lana], so that is an iteration of a a lot earlier plan. Like, we had been speaking about Sarah discovering out again in Season 1.
TVLINE | Effectively, possibly this can be a higher time. It appears like she’s concerned with getting again collectively now.
Yeah, now that she realizes it wasn’t Jordan’s option to lie all these instances, he has undoubtedly gained again a sure stage of trustworthiness.
TVLINE | And what a second for her to seek out out — simply as he’s about to struggle her mom’s evil doppelgänger.
I’ve truly been fight-training for the previous yr and a half. They tipped me off in the course of final season that Jordan can be doing extra tremendous stuff in Season 2, so I went up our head of stunts, my actually good pal Rob Hayter, and stated, “Look, I’m a scrawny theater child. I don’t know easy methods to work with gymnasium tools or struggle.” So he taught me easy methods to use the tools, and he set me up with my struggle coach. In order that two-on-one struggle was [between Jordan, Jon-El and Lana-Rho] all me, it truly wasn’t my double in any respect. It was numerous enjoyable studying the beats of that struggle a few hours earlier than. These crews have been working their entire lives watching A-list expertise [do these fight scenes], so that they’re fairly jaded, however that was a second the place everybody began clapping. It felt like numerous onerous work paying off.
TVLINE | Emmanuelle Chriqui advised me that she prefers enjoying common Lana, leaving the motion scenes to different folks. You appear to be the overall reverse.
I’m the form of man that completely likes to be thrown into this type of stuff. I like happening rabbit holes and seeing the place they go. It’s additionally numerous enjoyable watching Jordan develop right into a fighter. He’s needed to struggle internally for lots of his life. He fought numerous psychological and social demons. Seeing him overcome these, after which must struggle these larger worldly issues, is gratifying.
TVLINE | Effectively, this was a loopy hour, however I’m positive subsequent week might be even crazier. What can we anticipate from the finale?
There are very huge twists in very big-picture stuff that can occur. The followers are going to go nutso.
