TL307 - Superman & Lois - S4E03 - Always My Hero

Tomorrow's Legends

Hello Super Fam of Steel. Lots of tears here on the Waverider as we mourn Sam Lane. Join us as we discuss “Always My Hero.”

The Kent family privately mourns a funeral on the Kent farm, foreshadowing what's to come this episode. Later, Lois decides she needs to tell the world, Superman cannot save them anymore. With Lex and Doomsday still on the loose, Sam asks the Irons family to step up. Giving them brand new call signs, Steel and Starlight, the power duo suits up and are ready to help defend their new world.

Jon is frustrated with Jordan. All the complaining about his powers, not being able to stand up to Lex, and also blames him for their dad dying. In anger and frustration, he punches a barn beam breaking his hand. All of this emotion, trauma and stress awakens his powers in one of the greatest scenes of the show. He has all of his dad’s powers and is ready to train at the D.O.D. with Sam.

Lex has control of Doomsday. It seems like he cares for little else than revenge on the Kents and finding his daughter. He spreads division by playing Jordan against Lois when he plays the audio of her choosing Jon over him. He sends his inside man to Sam, but he will not give up Elizabeth’s location and Lieutenant Jonell Jones shoots him. The wound is mortal, and Doomsday is on the way. Sam takes the serum Bruno used to make Doomsday and sacrifices himself to Doomsday who crushes him in one hand while Lois and the boys watch.

Steel flies the body to the Fortress and explains to Lara that Sam’s heart can be a donor heart for Clark. She has reservations until John explains that Cal's blood was running through that heart, and she decides to try it anyway. The procedure seems to work ask Clark’s eyes open with a gasping breath.

The funeral continues from where we began the episode, as Lois says her goodbyes to Sam in a tearful moment.

Can the Irons, Jon & Jordan stop Lex and Doomdsday?
