The rain hasn’t come. Clark stands at the kitchen window, Lois behind him, rubbing his shoulder. “The bank called again. Your mom’s loan—they want collateral by Friday.” Clark: “I could lift a tractor out of a sinkhole in Metropolis last week. But here? I can’t make corn grow.” Lois turns him around. Lois: “You’re not a god, Clark. You’re a farmer’s son. And right now, you’re also a father watching our boys fall apart.” EXT. SMALLVILLE HIGH - DAY (DSRIP FLARE)

Jordan slams his fork down. “You left Metropolis because you couldn’t save everyone. Don’t pretend it’s about us.” Clark (quiet): “No. I left because I realized I was saving strangers so I didn’t have to save myself. Or you.” Lois slides a manila folder across the table. MORGAN EDGE – SEDGWICK ACQUISITION. Lois: “Edge bought the old Shuster Mines. He’s not after coal. He’s after X-Kryptonite. And he knows we’re here.” The final shot (as per the DSRIP ’s final frame before credits): Clark’s eyes flicker red—just a pulse. Then he blinks, human again. Clark (muttering): “Second day in Smallville. And the apocalypse already has a parking spot.” FADE TO BLACK. superman & lois s01e02 dsrip
