Superman (to Bruno/Matteo, re Peia): "She wanted me to tell you she loved you both, forever and always."
I have to be honest, I actually expected Peia to die a few episodes back so the fact that she made it until nearly the end of the season/potential series was a miracle in itself. However this was the episode where she died and Bruno's dynamic with the main protagonists changed up too.
There was no way that siphoning anything from Inverse Superman wasn't going to end badly and for Peia it meant losing total control of her powers with her body being unable to handle it. The moment she inadvertently killed Dr Hook cemented her doom as well.
While Bruno went into full denial mode about Peia's fate, Matteo at least tried to help his mother and even Natalie was willing to help. In the end it took Superman to bring Peia out of harm's way so that she could let go herself and die peacefully.
With Peia's death, Matteo getting a pardon and Bruno co-operating with the DOD, there's still the imminent appearance of Lex Luthor but right now, there's also Inverse Superman and he doesn't look a bit pleased. Better send him back to his own Earth next episode.
As for the rest of the episode, we had Lois undergoing a double mastectomy while Peia was breaking apart. There were plenty of emotional scenes with all the family and recovery aside, it does seem like this particular storyline's drawing to a happier close.
Last but not least, Kyle wasn't pleased with Chrissy not telling him about Superman but thanks to Lana, he did step up when Sarah began to spiral during the episode. It was one of the better handled Cushing side plots this week.
- Why I do get the feeling they're going to end the season on a Lex shaped cliffhanger that will never get resolved?
- Jordan managed to prevent a near fatal accident in Lois's operating room while freaking out over his X-ray vision.
- Sarah got a waitressing gig at the diner while Bazoomas got another shout out this week. Is there no Jitters in this universe?
- Chronology: Not long from where the last one left off.
Complications did manage to live up to its title but again, it hit all the right notes with even the Cushing side of things being pretty decent too. Just two more to go.
Rating: 7 out of 10
