[knocking]
Good mor...
[panting]
...ning, Lois, are you okay?
Just give me one minute.
I just need, um... I need shoes.
Uh-huh.
-[door slams] -Shh!
[whispering] Clark, if she wakes up, it's gonna be all,
"Lois Lane, which of these men have caught
the most impressive earth fish?"
"Lois Lane, what does it mean, 'Gemini do not interact?'"
"Lois Lane, assist me in choosing
from my five billion suitors,"
and we'll never get out of here.
Hey, uh, you okay?
[sighs] Yeah. I'm just nervous, I guess.
Nothing to be nervous about.
We'll have brunch at your favorite restaurant...
[both] Pound Cake Palace.
And we'll talk about the future.
And it'll be fine because we have each other and...
-Pound cake. -Well, I was gonna say, uh,
no Super Business, but yeah, that too.
Aw, I'll always have my Superman.
Aw, I wanna pet the dog. [groans]
-But no... -[both] Super Business.
[watch beeps]
Huh.
-[watch beeps] -[Clark] Hi, Jimmy.
Seriously?
Clark! Great.
Okay, so I'm on a date with another W.O.R.M.S. scientist.
-Of course you are. -Wha... Jimmy.
I got turned into a wolf-man once.
Why must we generalize?
Then why are you calling?
Well, my date seems great.
Really accomplished... [giggles] from Coast City,
-has two sisters... -[Lois groans]
...but she also brought a bunch of suspicious vials.
So I was wondering--
-Ahhh! -[Lois grunts]
[magical music playing]
[waiter] Your quarter-pound cakes.
[sighs] You know, dodging Kara and Jimmy
and making it to a real actual date.
We're a pretty good team, Smallville.
We are.
You and me, we can handle
anything the future throws at us.
[suspenseful music playing]
Mmm.
Hi, Mom. Hi, Dad.
Have we ordered yet?
Uh...
[opening theme music playing]
Wow, have you guys read this thing?
How do you even decide?
What do you guys usually get?
You're right, we should just get one of everything.
Clark, what do we do?
[bell dings]
Say something.
Um, hi.
So--
-When you said, "Mom..." -"And Dad..."
what did you mean by that?
Yeah, wha... what did you mean by that?
Oh, yeah. Sorry. No, no, it's me, your son, Jon.
From the future.
Future?
This is so... slammin'!
You guys are so young.
[hesitates] What do you guys do?
Like, where do you hang out? What's your favorite movie?
And why do you wear glasses?
Ooh, what's this?
Wha... How'd you...
I saw it in your jacket.
X-ray vision.
I got it from Dad.
I'm a great pickpocket.
[groans]
If you... Then how...
Then... why are you--
-You will not believe... -Ow!
...the morning I've had.
-Hey, Uncle Jimmy. -Hi. How you doing?
So, as you can see,
my date did end up having some quirks.
So now you're gonna have to take me to S.T.A.R. Labs.
Jimmy, it's not the the best time.
Oh, okay. I'll just walk around like a porcupine man forever.
-Ow. Jimmy. -Sorry.
You know, this never would have happened
if you hadn't hung up on me.
-[groans] -Lois Lane.
I appear to have received so many messages
from potential suitors that the app no longer functions.
How does one-- [gasps]
-[magical music playing] -[Kara] Wow.
This culture, it is so rich.
Who are you?
Yeah. Wait. What did you call me?
I'm Jon Kent.
I'm their son.
[sighs wearily]
-What? -Okay, but...
-Is this true? -...how...?
I'm from the future.
You're my Uncle Jimmy.
And you're my Aunt Kara.
-You are... Kryptonian? -I'm... an uncle?
-You're from the future? -Yes!
-Kal-El, be proud... -Do you know what this means?
-...our bloodline... -Four best friends for life!
[Kara] ...has prospered!
[Jimmy] What's the future like?
[Kara] Jon-El, I will teach you many things about this Earth--
[Jimmy] Wait, did you say you broke the dating app?
-Ow! That's it! -[waitress] Ah!
Sorry? [chuckles nervously]
Can we please get that to go?
[Jimmy] Ow, ow, ow.
Hey, what's this?
Ooh, that's an invisibility vest. Ow.
Ahh. What about this?
-[Jimmy] That can... Ow! -What are you guys doing?
Ooh, Can I touch this?
I'm touching it.
Maybe we should get him outside.
-[gasps] -I love outside.
-Ow, ow, ow, ow. -Unexplained geological
tremors have been reported around the city.
More on this story as it develops.
[blows raspberry] Unexplained.
I've been saying for years it's--
Ow!
I'm sorry if I came on too strong.
I'm just so excited to be here.
It's all right... kiddo. [chuckles awkwardly]
-[chomps] -Kiddo?
You're just gonna take his word for it?
Lois, he's a flying pickpocket.
But time travel, Clark? Don't you need more evidence?
[both chomp, slurp]
-Not... really? -No.
I'm... a mom?
Oh, this can't be happening. I can't be someone's mom.
Do I look like someone's mom?
-Well-- -Don't answer that.
This is fine. I just I need to, uh, I have to, uh...
[beeps]
...work! I have to work.
Questions need answering.
Can I go to work with you?
Can I? Can I?
Can I? Please.
Why are you here, Jon?
Jon-El, your mother must work.
But you and I can spend
traditional family time together.
Would you like to train, Grapple or spar?
Um...
Or maybe Jon just wants to do, you know, normal stuff?
Ah, yes. I know what is normal.
[Lois groans] This again.
[TV reporter] Hank Henshaw, once decorated,
adulation, lionized.
What has become of that American hero
Hank Henshaw mission was once to lead humanity
to a brighter tomorrow.
They're scared of you, Hank.
[TV reporter] But now, in a super-powered cyborg body,
should he be pitied or feared?
[Lois on TV] That man is gone.
Hank is not our hero.
I'm not sure there's any coming back,
but Hank is not our hero, not our hero, not our hero.
[screams in anger]
[upbeat music playing]
I don't know if it says, "Jon Kent..."
But it does say, "Superboy!"
You're right.
[gasps]
They have shoes with wheels?
♪ Superboy, Superboy ♪
[both laugh]
[squeaks]
[laughs] Uncle Jimmy's got it.
Does he?
Another tremor?
[people screaming]
[crying]
[snaps]
Look out!
[thuds]
[gasps]
[triumphant music playing]
[kid laughing]
[Lois] Just like Clark.
But why are you here?
Whoa. Easy there, Fido.
Henshaw, we agreed you'd keep
to your quarters until further notice.
[beeps]
That's exactly why I'm here.
I wanted to apologize.
I see.
Go on.
What occurred yesterday was totally unacceptable.
A good commanding officer knows how
to get his people back in line.
And... you did exactly that.
You were right to remind me who's in charge.
Me.
[laughs] Yes.
Yes, you.
Uh, I owe you my life.
And I will never forget it.
-[Lex] Again. -[Hank] Hmm?
You'll never forget it...
again.
[tense music playing]
[scoffs] Affirmative.
All right, Henshaw.
Glad to see you've come to your senses.
Told you he'd come around.
They always do.
You can't be serious.
You actually bought that act?
It's not an act.
A firm hand never fails with these types.
I am that type.
He tried to kill me yesterday.
[Lex] Look, that was a blip.
[Wilson] A blip?
[Lex] Yes, Slade.
Time to move on.
Great. So what's next?
Carousel? Food court-- Pet store?
What now?
Oh, no.
Perry's calling. [laughs awkwardly]
-[Perry on call] Lane? Lane! -Yes, boss. Uh-huh.
Right away. Yeah. [chuckles]
Sorry, sorry. Gotta work.
But you guys can, you know--
You've got to show me the Daily Planet.
Please.
Uh, you wrote, "Who."
-It's, "Whom." -I need some air.
[slurps]
Look at us.
Five best friends.
[Kara] Jimmy Flamebird,
take a photograph of me in front of this globe
for my dating profile.
-[spits] -I'll take it for you, Kara.
But Jimmy Flamebird always takes the best pictures of me.
And the dating was his idea. So...
Okay. Okay.
[Clark] What about one where you're holding the globe
-in your hand like-- -[Kara] Like this?
[Clark] Oh, No, no, no, no.
-Not-Not what I meant. -[metal clanks, thuds]
-Not what I meant. -[both chuckle]
You, uh, ordered the spicy too, huh?
Must get it from you.
Mom.
-[splashes] -[glass shatters]
Mom!
[somber music playing]
Oh, Jon, you're great.
You're super.
It's just...
it's not every day your kid from the future
stops by to say hi.
Oh, I get it.
This is probably not how you thought your day was gonna go.
Oh, [hesitates] it's not that. It's...
[sighs]
The future is just coming, and I can't stop it.
Like, no matter what choices I make, I'm already locked
into something I can't control.
I don't believe in fate.
What's coming is ours to shape.
Plus, you have to listen to me.
I'm from the future.
What happens in your future, Jon?
Why are you here?
[violent roar]
[explosions]
[both gasp]
Hey, Aunt Kara.
Can I take this one?
You know, just me and Dad.
Uh, yes.
Yes.
Thanks.
[gasps]
[sighs in relief]
We're locked on the roof.
Hey, Birdwatchers, drop your lock picking tips below.
[screeches]
[roars]
Oh. That's what was causing those tremors.
I-I thought the past was just wobbly.
-Um, Dad. -Sorry, yeah.
Just, uh,
what else does Jimmy write about?
What you don't know about the Subterranosauri?
-You do? -Uh, yeah, of course.
They're super cool.
They're very, very reasonable guys.
I'll have this wrapped up in, like, five minutes.
[people screaming]
-Yeah, I-I don't think, uh... -I got this. Trust me.
Krull!
Hey, guys.
Uh, I'm Superboy.
-That's Superman. -Hi.
Uh, what seems to be the problem here?
Krull!
-Huh. -Jon, um...
Don't worry. Hang on, our friend here
just doesn't speak English very well.
-Now, -Jon--
My Subterranosauri
is a little rusty, but I can take a swing--
Krull!
[thuds]
Not now, Hank. I'm busy.
[Hank] Make time.
I'm sorry.
Didn't we just have a chat about who's in charge here?
We sure did.
But, uh,
I remembered something you forgot.
This little thing called a food chain.
And where you fall in it.
That's two strikes, Hank.
Don't let there be a third.
Oh, there won't be.
[beeps faster, blasts]
[Lex screams]
[panting]
[computer beeps]
[grunts]
[glass shatters]
[grunts]
[thrilling music playing]
Slade? Slade!
Just a blip, right, Lex?
We're gonna do this now?
I'm not doing anything.
[grunts]
[groans]
Hank, Hank, we can work this out.
[hesitates] You want more autonomy?
You can get it.
I want my life back.
You made me this...
-this monster. This freak. -Hank.
you want to talk about who did this to you?
Who took everything away?
It's...
the aliens.
I saved you.
I gave you a life.
You don't want to punish me.
You want to punish Superman.
He's the one who did this.
I won't try to stop you.
In fact, I'll help you.
Going forward.
-we-- -There is no we.
[glass breaks]
Remember the food chain.
[Superman] Jon, are you all right?
That was wild.
Yeah, the dinosaur people.
No, no. I mean,
they're supposed to be humanity's allies.
-Why are they being so mean? -[people screaming]
You get everyone to safety.
I'll handle the... dinosaurs.
[blows]
Back up. Back up, I said.
-I said, "Stay back!" -Jon, be gentle.
You can't help them if they don't feel safe.
[shrieks]
[whimpering]
Hi there. I'm Jon.
-I'm gonna get you out of here. -[crying]
Scared of heights?
No problem.
[shrieks]
[girl laughing]
Krull!
[grunts]
[groaning]
[crashes]
Huh?
[huffs]
[growls]
Krull!
Dad.
-That was so-- -[both] Slammin'!
[roars]
Cower before me, flying surface dweller.
You speak... English?
Silence.
For it is I, Tyrannko, Prince of the Subterranosauri.
My people have suffered at the hands of the surface world.
Humanity has dug too far and drilled too deep.
That ends today.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Your Eminence.
I beg your forgiveness.
I have traveled here from the future
where man and Subterranosauri live in harmony.
-Side by side, hand in claw. -[growls]
Please believe me when I say...
that together we can make prejudice extinct.
[emotional music playing]
[growls]
-[triumphant music playing] -[people cheering]
So this, uh, "hand-in-claw" future, was that all true?
Yeah. We've been friends
and allies for, like, 20 years or so--
Wait. What if... Oh, wow.
I'm the guy who made peace with the Subterranosauri!
Oh, slammin'! Time travel rocks.
What?
This is what Superman fights for.
A better tomorrow.
[chuckles] I think that's enough
Super Business for one day.
I know just where we can get you all patched up.
I cannot believe I missed out on the dino men.
Real dino men.
Okay, We'll tell you all about it over dinner.
Urth Ketch! Yes, Jonathan Kent.
I will teach you how to Urth Ketch.
That's okay, you guys can play.
I'm gonna help Mom out with her story.
What did you say the name of the leader was again?
"Tyrinkis?"
[clears throat] Uh, "Tyrannko."
Right. And how's that spelled?
[keyboard clacking]
Thanks. So, uh, what do you think?
-It's slammin'. -Really?
Yeah. Well, I'm not surprised, though.
You're really just how I always imagined you.
You... imagined me?
Yeah, I, uh,
you know...
Looking for this?
I'm a pretty good pickpocket myself.
[both chuckle]
Nice.
Yeah, I know it's weird to find out
that you're a mom all of a sudden, but, um...
thanks for today.
I really needed it.
Yeah.
I think I did, too.
If he's our future,
then it's better than I ever could have imagined.
Yeah, maybe it won't be so bad.
Kal-El, come! Now!
[people screaming on TV]
[thrilling music playing]
[man screaming]
[music intensifies]
Superman.
See how they run from me?
They used to love me.
They used to cheer my name.
Now they shriek it.
You want to be this city's hero?
Come and fight for it.
[Jon] I thought I'd have more time.
More time for what?
Jon,
why are you here?
Where I come from...
Dad is dead.
You both are.
I was sent back in time to save you.
Save everyone.
Save us from what?
[Jon] From him.
[dramatic beat]
