Smallville and its residents deal with the fallout of Superman and Tal Rho’s confrontation on Superman & Lois Season 2 Episode 1, “What Lies Beneath.”
The weight of that fight lands heavier on the shoulders of a few key characters. For example, Clark faces some (more) growing pains as Superman — continuing to gain back people’s trust and respect.
That stress isn’t helped by a strain in his relationship with Lois. Though, some tension is understandable since Lois is likely still reeling from the arrival of John Henry Irons’ daughter Natalie.
John Henry Irons and Natalie’s further involvement in this show is one of this episode’s greatest pulls. Wolé Parks and Tayler Buck were incredible additions to the series last season.
On a more optimistic note, it appears as though Superman & Lois is diving into Lois’ profession more — at least on “What Lies Beneath.” Plenty of the photos shows Chrissy and Lois working together to expand The Smallville Gazette.
