At breakfast, tensions rise. Jonathan reveals he tried out for the football team without telling Clark or Lois. Clark, distracted, mutters, “We’ll talk about it later.” Jonathan snaps, “You always say that.” Lois mediates, but it’s clear Clark is emotionally absent. Bizarro is chained in a red-sunlight room, weak but conscious. He mutters incoherent phrases in reverse: “...home... find... El...” Sam Lane orders a psychic probe using a device created by Dr. Faulkner (introduced last episode). The probe triggers a violent psychic backlash—Bizarro screams, and the entire facility shakes. Steel reinforcements bend like taffy.
John Henry picks up his hammer. “Natalie,” he calls out. “We have work to do.”

Clark is shaken. “He looks like me,” he whispers. Sam orders a DOD black site transport. Lois argues against it, fearing the military will only escalate things, but Sam insists: “We don’t know what he wants. But he came through a portal and almost killed your husband.”
The camera lingers on a family photo: the four of them smiling. Now, everyone is drifting apart. A dark room. John Henry Irons (Steel) watches news footage of Superman fighting Bizarro. He rewinds, freeze-frames on Bizarro’s chest symbol. Then he pulls up data from his own universe’s files. A file labeled “B-ZERO” opens. On screen: a sketch of Bizarro and the words: “He is not the threat. He is the warning.” Bizarro is chained in a red-sunlight room, weak
But instead of finishing him, Bizarro looks at the sky, then at Superman, and whispers again: Then he flies away—not toward Metropolis, but back toward Smallville. The Mine Portal – Climax Lois is still at the mine when alarms blare. The second portal activates. A figure stumbles through: a woman in tattered Kryptonian armor, bleeding from a wound in her side. It’s Lara Lor-Van —but not Clark’s mother. This is the Bizarro universe’s Lara, wife of that world’s Jor-El.
