‘Superman and Lois’ 1×05 Recap: “The Best of Smallville”

It has the aspects of every past Superman show plus more. It deals with the best and worst of Smallville and the world. So keep reading for my Superman and Lois 1×05 recap!

Questions and Harvest

Lois and Chrissy are still working on bringing down Morgan Edge. Sharon Powell shows up at the Smallville Gazette. She was the woman whose son disappeared after working for Edge. And she has come to the Gazette to tell them they don’t have to worry about Edge anymore. Her son is back with her. Sharon tells Lois and Chrissy that they don’t have to write an article about Edge’s wrongdoing. But Lois and Chrissy believe something is going on. Sean Powell is acting strange. Neither of them believes his story and Chrissy is going to follow them.

Clark tells his family about the great Harvest Festival in Smallville. It was a tradition that his mother continued to work on even after he moved away. And it was about giving back to those that needed it. Martha would help run the festival and everyone loved her. But neither Jonathan nor Jordan want to go to the festivities. Especially after Jonathan is dumped. His girlfriend stayed in Metropolis and she was supposed to come to visit Smallville for the first time. Instead, she dumps him on the phone the day before. He becomes angry about his move to Smallville. Jonathan tries to find a way to move back to Metropolis. Both Clark and Lois tell him to stick it out and if he doesn’t like it by the end of the year; they will figure something out.

Fire

Lana is helping with the donations when Sharon and Sean show up. Sean acts weird and calls Morgan Edge’s assistant. Before he can do anything, a red flare shoots fire from his eyes and catches the building on fire. Everything in the building is lost. Lois believes that Sean had something to do with it. Kyle tries to save one of his fellow firefighters who is severely hurt. Chrissy finds Sean and follows him. She calls Lois when she notices Sean get into a chamber. Superman shows up to save the day. But before he can save Sean – Sean disintegrates.

First Date and Dedication

Jordan asks Sarah on a date. She tells him that she will meet him at the festival. When she doesn’t show up on time; he goes after Jonathan. Jonathan has been drinking with some football players. He becomes rude and belligerent against his twin brother. What Jordan doesn’t realize is Sarah is at home taking care of her drunk father. When she finally shows up; she confronts Jonathan and the other boys. Jordan tells his parents about Jonathan’s drinking. Both of them are upset at first, but calm down. Jonathan apologizes to his parents and Jordan.
