TL313 - Superman & Lois - S4E09 - To Live and Die Again

The series is ending, and this episode set the board for the finale next week. This was not like a lot of penultimate episodes that are more action packed than the finale. This one was like a chess match where the players were making probing attacks. Clark takes the boys to the fortress to train against the Steel armor hologram, but all it does is prove they aren't battle ready. Lara informs himThey will never be as strong as Clark due to their half human DNA, so Lois convinces Clark to focus on what they can do working together. Lois is disheartened by the lack of success and the attacks from Lex and Amanda on her character. Clark encourages her to remember her advice and go back to the beginning. She goes to visit Bruno Manheim in prison, and they hash through Lex's history and patterns. But not much headway is made until Lois brings up Cheryl. It seems like she was used by Lex in the past the same way he is using Amanda now, even having her fall in love with him.  Lois sees this pattern repeating with Amanda and brings it to her attention. Amanda then confronts Lex and sees that it is true. Clark goes after Lex and gets in his head. He calls him out for not being in control and relying on Amanda for the plan. This pushes Lex over the edge. He takes the Steel armor that Milton upgraded and goes after Doomsday who he then convinces to let him kill him one more time. Clark cannot stop it. We see the rise of comic accurate Doomsday. Doomsday goes on a rampage in Smallville. The boys go into action saving the town. Clark is fighting Doomsday, and it is a loosing battle. Lex watches from above, content to let Doomsday do the work for him.   Contact Information: If you want to join in the discussion, you can submit feedback via email to [email protected] or at at https://www.speakpipe.com/TomorrowsLegends .
