After last week's episode, are we the only ones that are kind of feeling for the Mannheims? As a husband, Mannheim is doing all that he can to save his wife from cancer. It makes sense to us, but then there's the whole stealing Superman's blood and Bizarro. His methods could lead to creating something far worse than just powered supervillains. Tonight, we are heading to a big collision with a shared dinner with the Kents, Mannheims, and Irons. Bruno knows who John Henry is, he could infer who Clark might be and with the kids dating, this could lead to a whole new mess of hurt feelings and villainous intentions! Here's what stood out to us:

So many interesting threads going on this season. We have the will they or won't they romance between Lana and John Henry, the new romance with Kyle and Chrissy, and Natalie has her new boyfriend from Metropolis, and there's always the Jordan and Sarah possibility. That's just covering the romance side of things. Lois has her cancer treatments, we now know who Onomatopoeia is and Mannheim has Bizarro and mentioned Lex Luthor! Things have to be building to something crazy and it's hard to believe they can top last season but it certainly feels like that's where we are headed!

John Henry prepares for a meet and greet lunch with Natalie's new boyfriend. Chrissy confronts Lana at the Diner. Lana is cordial but Sarah strikes a blow. We get a flashback to Mannheim and his wife dining out.The boys go to the fortress to see if Clark took Lois to see Lara. Kryptonian medical tech could help Lois but could kill her. Clark arrives to see the boys at the Fortress.

In another flashback, we see Mannheim wants to make a deal with Lex to leave Hobbs Bay alone. Lois tries to get more info from Pia but pisses her off instead. Lana and John talk about Natalie's new boyfriend. Clark goes to interview Mannheim on Lois' behalf.

John Henry goes to talk to Lana about lunch. Mateo and Natalie share a kiss as Mateo charms his way to her heart. Chrissy forgot she has weed gummies and Sarah finds them, she asks that Sarah never tell Kyle. Through his interview, Clark is able to decipher that Mannheim is doing all this because someone he cares about has cancer. Lois learns that Pia is married to Mannheim.
- Pia's Final Treatment: Mannheim is thanked by Pia. Lois and Clark can't blame Bruno for all that he is doing to save his wife as he would do the same. John Henry and Lana run into Natalie and Mateo. They are kissing after the movie. Lana catches Sarah and Chrissy leaving the movie as well. John Henry has a talk with Mateo but does much better this time than he did at lunch. Jon and Jordan confront Clark and Lois about the end of life documents. They are scared.
In the final wrap up moments of the episode, Clark and Lois talk about how serious the cancer diagnosis is. They decided that to use Kryptonian tech wouldn't be fair to the people of Earth. If they did it for Lois, they would feel obligated to give it to Earth but who knows what they would do with it in other ways. Lana feels everyone else has moved on after the divorce. Jon goes to speak with Clark. He apologizes. We learn that Clark drinks wine because Lois likes it, it does nothing to him. Jon and Clark watch the fireworks Lana shot off. In a final flashback, we see how Pia took out the other gang members and thus put Bruno on top. In a final reveal, we learn Mateo is Mannheim's son.

Of Sound Mind Recap

Welcome back Superman and Lois fans. We had a week off but we're back for a few weeks of all new episodes. Lex Luthor is coming, and this is not the version we've seen on Supergirl with Jon Cryer! We've still got Bruno Mannhiem to deal with, and not that he has Bizarro's body, there is no telling what he is planning on making with Superman's blood. That just about covers the comicbook side of things, there still is the matter of Lois' cancer, what is going to happen with Jon and Cassy, and there is always the Sarah and Jordan drama going on. Also Natalie has her new boyfriend from Metropolis, so much could happen, here's what stood out to us:
- Clark Joins a Support Group: With Lois fighting cancer, Clark joins a support group for healthy spouses. Lois is given files from Mannheim's project. Clark leaves the group early. Lana pawns Sophie off on Sarah as she is too busy. She arrives at town hall to be interviewed by Crissy. Jon is being teased at the fire station. Jordan has completed his training at the fortress and wants to do solo saves but Clark says no. Superman is called to the DOD to find a dying villain asking for Mannheim who dismisses him immediately.
- Working at the Fire Hall: Jon is cleaning the firetruck to perfection under Kyle's supervision. Jordan makes a huge save at a flood site. Lois said he could go while Clark said no. Clark intends to train Jordan in the morning. Bruno is making strides forward with Bizarro and is creating a new serum. Kyle and Crissy's relationship seems to be moving forward while he is still not ready to tell Lana. Clark seems to be in denial about Lois' cancer, he won't face the last will and testament docs she has.
- Jordan vs Two Monsters: Superman decides to give Jordan a harder challenge but it also looks like he is afraid to let Jordan be active in the wild. Lois goes out to dinner with her cancer patient friend. She has faced the possibility that she could die but Clark hasn't and it doesn't help her to hear it all the time at home. Lois hears from her friend that Mannheim's hospital has done some good for her and the city. There are legitimate positives here. Jordan defeats Clark's tests but Clark is still concerned with him helping. Sophie wanders off to get food and Kyle and Lana realize she is missing and that they don't have this co-parenting thing figured out. Lana learns that Kyle is dating Crissy.
- The Humanity of Lois Lane: Clark's optimism keeps him from seeing Lois as someone who can die. It leads to a fight and Lois drives off. Jon and Sarah find Sophie. She's at the fair but its empty. Jon has a real talk with Sophie who takes comfort from it. Jon's efforts earn him a level up at the firehouse. Clark goes to apologize to Jordan. Just then, Superman is baited into a trap.
- Superman vs Kryptonite Lasers: The trap is set and three of Mannhiem's soldiers fire Kryptonite powered guns on him. With Superman effectively pinned down, Jordan gets permission from Lois to go save his father. Jordan is effective but gets hit with a Kryptonite blast. Seeing him hit overwhelms Superman who takes out the threat immediately.
In the final wrap up moments of the show, we find out that Kryptonite doesn't affect Jordan like it does Clark. The fortress seems to confirm that it doesn't hurt Jordan. Without that vulnerability he could become stronger that Superman. Clark admits finally that he feels powerless against Lois' cancer. Lana and Sarah finally spend some time with Sophie. Kyle and Chrissy talk at the paper. Not telling Lana makes Chrissy feel awful but Kyle doubles down with his excitement for his new relationship. Clark returns to group therapy. We find out the villain that has the vertigo powers is Lois' friend from the cancer treatment facility. Check out a preview for next week's all new episode below:

Welcome back Superman and Lois family. For the last 48 hours, for an unknown reason, our server has been down. Our hosting company is working on the issue for us right now but since the show is about to air, I’ll be writing our recap as the show airs and we will publish as soon as our site is back up. So sorry for the delay, we are taking all steps with the hosting provider as an outage of this magnitude is unacceptable. Here’s what stood out to us in the episode:
- Forest Fire: Fire response teams head to address a forest fire where Superman and Jordan have arrived to extinguish the flames.

Lois learns who hit Jon and goes to confront him. Lois tells Candice’s dad to stay away from her family.

In the final closing moments of the episode, John Henry arrives at Mannheim’s place. He threatens him but Mannheim has his family under guard.
