The General: "Be seeing you, Superman."
Well, that certainly escalated a lot faster than expected. Lois found out that Clark and Superman were the same person last week and this episode she went to extreme lengths to get him to admit the truth. Then things went south for the pair very fast.
While I do like this version of Lois, there's no denying that she's far more reckless than other versions. I get that she felt a bit betrayed over Clark not telling her sooner but maybe she could have cut him a bit more slack too. Especially given that he's not the only man in her life not being tototally honest with her.
Yeah, the General working with Amanda Waller and Agent Wilson/Deathstroke clearly was meant to be General Sam Lane. His interactions with Superman were extremely hostile and when Wilson had the perfect kill shot, it was Lane that told him to stand down. Despite Lane's clear hostile for aliens, Superman got through to him by just saving a group of civilians on a bus.
I did find it interesting that guest villain - a female version of Heat Wave was convinced that Superman was responsible for the tech metas getting kidnapped before Agent Wilson/Task Force X made their presence known. Villain wise, they didnt feel as spotlighted as previous ones have been this season.
As for Jimmy, he spent a lot of the episode feeling left out by Lois and Clark and also having to spend time with Steve Lombard. While the latter might have certainly wound Jimmy up, he sadly did raise some points about the latter being a lone wolf.
Jimmy spent the episodes wanting his friends to go with him to find a Sasquatch before going it alone. On top of that, a big gorilla snatched him, ending the episode on a cliffhanger. You probably should've stayed stayed at home, Jimmy.
- Steve was quickly revealed to be a Flamebird troll account. Jimmy had a video about Sub Diego/Atlantis.
- Clark had his own investigation board, drawing the links between Livewire, Silver Banshee and Parasite.
- General Lane was seen in Clark's flashbacks. Agent Wilson was dressed as Deathstroke.
- Chronology: Not long from the last episode.
You Will Believe A Man Can Lie certainly put Lois and Clark in a very awkward position. While I sympathised with the former, I was more on the latter's side here. The ending was good though as was the whole Jimmy subplot.
Rating: 7 out of 10
