Well, the show established last week that John Henry, and presumably Natalie, are going under the last name "Johnson." And Mannheim did react to Nat's reference to Smallville.
Spoilers "Superman & Lois" Season 3
- Thread starter The Realist
- Start date
A pretty good one. It's cool that they didn't drag out the secret of Peia being Onomato-Peia or Matteo being Mannheim's son. (I guess Peia and Matteo go by her surname to keep the marriage secret?) Interesting twist with Luthor.
It was established in season 1, IIRC, that Clark tries to avoid operating as Superman in Smallville if he can help it, because it might raise questions about why Superman started showing up there regularly around the same time the Kent-Lanes moved there.
I was wondering why Bruno didn't know about Natalie, but I guess his info on John Henry is based on this Earth's version, so he knew about the sister but not the parallel-Earth daughter.

I appreciating how the shorter seasons mean that there's less time to drag stories out. Things move at a good pace. I also really, really like the twist/subversion at work here: in order to defeat Mannheim, they're going to have to exonerate Lex Luthor. Delicious irony!
This show is a great piece of Superman media.
This show is a great piece of Superman media.
"John Johnson" is a particularly awful alliterative comic-book name, and it's a bit of an accomplishment for a steel-driving man named "John Henry Irons" to pick an alias more conspicuous than his real name.
He's actually from Mars, and his name is spelled J'onn J'onns'ann.
Superman and Lois
Season 3 - Episode 8 - "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?"
SM/Clark / Lois: Lois grows weaker with every chemotherapy treatment. In what has become a grim routine, Clark physically supports Lois at the hospital, carries his wife to bed, warms her through her body chills, yet despite all of his care, he has to watch an emotionally shattered Lois suffer beyond all earlier pronouncements to overcome the disease. His expression suggests he is out of options--that is, options available to the regular patient (SEE NOTES).
The twins appear to be packing personal items--the introductory scene implying that the items belong to Lois, and perhaps the boys have been instructed to pack her things in the event she succumbs to cancer (SEE NOTES). Come the next morning, Jonathan mentions his need to get to the firehouse, but is instantly annoyed by Jordan's mockery of his brother's status on the job...
Chrissy visits the Kents, still investigating Manheim, with suspicions about the reason he--a very public figure--never revealed the fact he is married; Lois--emotionally unsteady in the wake of her witnessing Manheim and Peia's relationship--suggests the Manheim's probably wanted privacy, regretting the investigation, and despite Chrissy's protests, Lois kills the story, referring to it as the kind of material one would see in a gossip rag. Lois' statements shake Clark, as he never expected Lois to back away from the Manheim matter.
Later, Lois's argues that her refusal to pursue Manheim is to protect Peia--suffering in a similar manner--and she would not want her private life exposed, as she believes it has nothing to do with taking down Manheim. Clark counters with a laundry list of all bad things about Manheim, including:
For Clark, Manheim is not good by any measure, and stands by his belief that the investigation must go on. Lois backs down--but does not want an association with the story.
Clark and Chrissy: Chrissy is a pile of disappointment, knowing there's no Manheim story without Lois; Lana stops by the paper, offering her Cure tickets first to Clark (who refuses), then a nervous Chrissy, but in the end, Lana finds herself rejected even when offering a gift.
Clark suggests they visit Metropolis to take a look into Peia's background, and in the blink of an eye, whisks Chrissy off the Metropolis. At the Hob's Bay clinic, the duo interview a childhood friend of Peia's where they learn something unpleasant happened to her during her teen years, causing her to become withdrawn, a state only swept away once she met and married Manheim. Chrissy, being single-minded and having the interview skills of the proverbial bull in a china shop, asks the woman if Peia knew about Manheim's connection to Intergang, prompting the woman to question what kind of article the two are writing, adding a "shame on you" directed at Clark, since Lois is being treated at Manheim's clinic...
Lana / Chrissy / Sarah: Lana wistfully spots her calendar--a scheduled trip with Kyle to see The Cure (SEE NOTES), but of course, this date will never happen. Lana invites Sarah, but Sarah's disinterest in the act, and resistance to the offer of a "girl's night out" depresses an already defeated Lana....
Sam and Lois: Sam visits his daughter, bringing with him several boxes containing classified files on Manheim, which Lois tries to push off on Clark and Chrissy. Sam believes the fact Lois has cancer & that she received treatment at Manheim's clinic has clouded her reasoning and purpose; Lois does not deny the analysis, but shows no interest in the files until Sam tenderly asks her to look into the files. Lois is shocked at the level of detailed information Sam had on Manheim almost from the start, saying how valuable it would have been to have access such damning intel from the earliest period of her investigation. When Sam gets an alert for his online date, a surprised, yet pleased Lois pushes him to go on that date--for her.
Sam heads to the diner to meet his date, but he's a bit late, which his date would not tolerate. She leaves him a "next time, don't be late" message on a napkin, which is spotted by Lana. Once she learns Sam is back in the dating scene, she perks up, wanting to gossip...
Lana explains that she would like to find someone, but its difficult, since Kyle broke her heart. Sam tells her she will continue to feel that pain, but she needs to take the first step in moving beyond it.
Clark, Lois and Chrissy: Lois delivers the Manheim files, where the trio finger through piles of reports of the people Manheim murdered; Chrissy stares at a couple of crime scene photos, noting the severity of the victims' damage, which sends Clark's mind racing back to his encounter with Onomatopoeia, and nature of her powers. Moving on, the trio listen to a recorded confession which implicated Luthor in the murders, but Clark's super-hearing knows the voice was Onomatopoeia's. Later, Lois and Clark are burdened with a new truth: they may have sent the wrong man--Luthor--to prison...
Manheim / Peia / Matteo: Preparing for the dinner with Natalie and her father, Manheim struggles to deal with Peia's worsening condition; she coughs up blood, but insists she will not back off from the engagement. Matteo notices his mother's shaky gait, but Peia will not hear of anything other than her son getting ready for the dinner. She gives him a bow-tie to wear and proudly hugs her son, as Manheim--with a faint smile trying not to be cracked by grief--looks on.
That afternoon, Irons drives Natalie to her lunch with the Manheims; Irons is still quite uncomfortable with the entire Matteo business, but he tries to be supportive. The meeting between Natalie and the Manheims goes well, until Peia's off-the-books symptoms flare up, causing a tremor in the restaurant similar to an earthquake. A near bug-eyed Manheim tries--and fails to send Peia home. She's having none of that, and continues getting to know Natalie (who piques Manheim's interest when she talks about her work in robotics).
Elsewhere, Irons visits his doppelganger sister--both pleased to have the other again. Irons mentions Nat is on her first date--at the same restaurant her earth-prime brother used to attend with Manheim. Needing no prodding, Irons heads to the establishment to extract his daughter--instead, the "staff"--all Manheim's henchmen--beat Irons to the ground (failing to notice his signalling the suit). Despite Peia's protests, Manheim has Irons restrained as the criminal savagely beats Irons' face, then prepares to shoot him--stopped by the arrival of the suit. As soon as Peia sees the suited-up Irons, she uses her powers to send him crashing to the streets, where she attempts to kill him, until Superman blocks her path. Peia--seemingly out of her mind with anger--intensifies the attack, but ends up crumbling to the ground. Manheim tries to revive her, but she barely shows signs of life.
Superman x-rays' Peia's body, and warns Manheim that she needs medical attention ASAP--or she will die. Manheim nods for Superman to take her, leaving Manheim and Irons alone--staring at each other. The criminal demands Irons to leave, which he wastes no time doing--with Natalie. Now, Manheim faces Matteo, who knows exactly what kind of man his father is (SEE NOTES).
At the D.O.D., Peia--on Irons' orders--has her sedated and secured where she will not be able to use her powers. Superman wonders if this is necessary, considering the fact Peia's cancer will soon take her life. Irons reminds Superman that Peia tried to kill him, adding:
"I get that Lois may have bonded with her during her treatments, but she's a bad person. You need to remember that."
Irons returns home, informing Nat she cannot see Matteo again. Enforcing the point, he confiscates her phone, leaving Nat with much to consider...
Jordan and Jonathan II: Jonathan shows up for work delivering coffee--expecting the usual grunt tasks, until Kyle presents Kent with his first fireman's helmet, surprising Jonathan, but the sense of pride is all over his face..
The station is called to a fire, and Kyle allows Jonathan to tag along...as long as he remains near the truck. In town, the fire crews tackle a burning building, leaving Jonathan feeling left out--just as he sees Jordan rocket into the second story of the structure to rescue an unconscious man. Although Jonathan merely checked the if the man was breathing, Kyle assumes Jonathan burst through the door to rescue the man, leading him to angrily order him back to the truck. Jonathan cannot explain himself, and it would not matter in any case, as Kyle sends the teen home, considering him a "liability".
The enraged Jonathan storms over to Sarah's, where he confronts Jordan about the rescue threatening Jon's job; Jonathan argues that "Superboy" was not needed, adding he is in training to save lives, but Jordan finally lets his hubristic behavior get the better of him with the line:
"I have heat vision--you're taking coffee orders!"
Even Sarah is left speechless by Jordan's asshole-ish insult. Jonathan marches out, accusing his brother of believing he's the only one who gets to be a real hero.
Sarah has to knock some sense into Jordan's head, telling him Jonathan found something special for himself, but Jordan's actions are threatening to take it away. Jordan seems to understand, and before he leaves to find his brother, clues in Sarah about her mother wanting to her to the concert because she's lonely.
At home, Jordan apologizes for everything, but Jonathan--after a call from Kyle--still does not know the status of his job. The reason: Kyle now has evidence certain rescues were performed by someone with powers. Jonanthan cryptically says "They're on to you." At the fire station, Kyle is indeed taking a long look at photos from the rescues involving a super-being...
Lana / Kyle / Chrissy / Sarah: Lana wistfully spots her calendar--a scheduled trip with Kyle to see The Cure (SEE NOTES), but of course, this date will never happen. Lana invites Sarah, but Sarah's disinterest in the act, and resistance to the offer of a "girl's night out" depresses an already defeated Lana....
NOTES:
The Cure, not just a band name, but a hint dropped about someone needing a cure...
...which brings this back to the opening, where we see Lois appearing frail with each passing scene, now needing help in her daily routine. This was executed so effectively, as I have helped ailing relatives in the past, and trying to be there to do everything, but knowing my external aid could not break the barrier of disease. Clark's face still registers growing desperation, and seeing Lois and Peia's ever-declining health, one can imagine he will finally attempt to use alien technology to help both, despite such a decision pulling the cancer arc squarely in the middle of fantasy.
The entire Manheim affair has the potential to force all involved into their own, opposing corners: Matteo knows his father is a criminal, and appears to have walked out of his father's life, but his mother's life is in danger, and the emotional weight of that might push the teen to return to his father for help--and end up being a tool in using Natalie as part of Manheim's unjustifiably vengeful feelings about Irons.
Irons has laid down the law with Natalie--and Superman. He is on the right side of the issue, but Superman is so concerned with Lois' disease (sympathies he's projecting to Peia) that he might feel a cured Peia--from the hands of her enemies--might lead her to have a change of heart.
Its to be expected that Manheim will never back down from his plans, and with his wife separated from him due to her exerting too much of her power against Superman, predictably, he's readying Bizarro for an all-out attack on certain residents of Smallville, probably starting with Lois.
Luthorair spot on TV--more season arc breadcrumbs dropped.
The entire conflict between the brothers was coming to a head from the moment Jordan discovered his powers, yet Jordan--and Clark to a degree--cannot wrap their heads around the idea--the drive of human individuality / achievement. Clark and Jordan should have read the handwriting on the wall when (in last week's episode) Jonathan argued: "What, dad? Have hope?? Just believe that everything is going to work out fine? You know, maybe that works out for you, as a Kryptonian, but us humans, like mom and me--we can't!"
In the episode seven's final act, Clark tried to smooth things over by saying Jonathan is as much of a Kryptonian as Jordan, but genetics does not work in so clean and balanced a manner. Yes, I know Clark was trying to assuage Jonathan's self-esteem issue by saying they--the family--are all "one", but that's not realistic, and Clark should have anticipated this kind of tension from his all so human son. Now, Jonathan may lose the one thing that was supposed to be his, and thanks to Jordan, I sort of suspect Kyle might think his trainee is the one with superpowers....
The level of scripting is so far above the earlier seasons, that one might consider S3 a new series. It has a language and sense of urgency that's tied to reality or realistic character decisions that were not to be found at any other point in the series.

I don't think the twins were packing up Lois' stuff preparing for her death. If you notice Clark puts together a wooden bed frame and it seems like Lois moves into a room to be by herself and sleep in that bed. I think the cleaning up may have been because the room was being used as her office or something and they needed to make room.
BTW, when Sam and Lana were talking for a second I thought "Wait... They're not going to get together are they?" Now if they hadn't teased John Irons and her with multiple interactions I might actually have considered it more. The age gap in the show is definitely a lot more than their age gap in real life(which is 12 years)

We should all age as well as the both of them!!
Yep. Their bedroom is upstairs right?
I sort of wondered that too, until I remembered that Lana is around the age of Sam's daughter. It was nice to see this show allow at least one relationship between a male and female character to exist without becoming romantic/sexual. (Well, there was Jordan and Sarah, but they're exes, so I don't think that quite counts.)
Yea I think the bedrooms are all upstairs. I re-watched the scene and the door that Clark closes on the 'new room' has a window on it with a curtain and I'm pretty sure you can see the kitchen cupboard in the background. So probably was a study on the first floor that they turned into a room for her.
Oh, of course. So she doesn't have to exert herself by going upstairs.
No one's old enough to be anyone's parent on this show.
Exactly what was done for my mother’s sister a few years ago (lung cancer in that case). Thankfully we didn’t have to do that for my wife.
I know at least a couple of people who had two-story houses and who with age and health problems had to move their bedroom to the ground floor.
I understand that they take up less space on a lot, but I've never been fascinated by two-story houses. You have to hope to stay healthy all the time, as even a broken leg becomes a problem.
I was just thinking how weird it was that all these people have so quickly grown blase about knowing Superman and just resumed acting ordinary around Clark and his family. At least we got Chrissy's excitement about being taken flying for the first time.
The writing this season has been SO good, I honestly have no idea what's going to happen next!
