- While realistic, Beppo lying to Lana while performing her duty as a journalist, reminds me of how she gave Lois a hard time before. It's good they didn't drag out them being a secret, but Beppo dropped the ball as a journalist of integrity
while Kyle dropped the ball as a father.
- My initial theory was that Onomatopoeia was Manheim's daughter suffering from an illness (similar to MCU's Ghost and Bill Foster), so when whatstername asked Lois out to lunch I figured it was her. But she's the wife, not a daughter. I'll give myself hald a credit for that one.
- I hope this isn't a case of the writers intentionally making a character less intelligent than they should be to pay off something later, but Jordan's training seemed to just be about fighting. With the flood situation and Clark's "there are things worse than being hurt" I imagined the "worse thing" is making a mistake because of inexperience and someone else being seriously injured or killed. His training should involve knowing how to properly weld things with his heat vision, or how to properly break into a building without collapsing it on people, or how fast to fly when carrying an injured person, etc. Real practical, emergency response stuff. If they show Jordan screw up and hurt someone now without showing Clark training him at all on those situations just to "surprise us" that the real lesson is about how your mistakes can hurt others, then I will be disappointed.
- Once again, the real strength of this storyline is involving us in something really personal to Clark as a man and giving him a problem he can't just punch or throw into the sun. It may be unfair, but I can't help but think how this is so much better than all the Barry/Iris melodrama/crises when they put her life in jeopardy.
