Jimmy: "Clark, I know you're Superman. This is not a big reveal."

After Lois not taking the news of Clark and Superman being the same person so well in the last episode, the reaction from Jimmy played out differently. Turns out, it's not shocking news for him.

As a big scene, it was a fun contrast and with the two closest people in his life - people that he's admitted to loving, Clark can now be his true self with his friends. Which ain't a bad thing, considering that he's got some mutual enemies also working together this week.

Yes, the General (it's got to be Sam Lane, hasn't it) and Dr Ivo/Parasite have formed their own team and they arrived at the events of the main episode played. Events that the General was also responsible for tbh. That General certainly does cause a lot of chaos, more than those he perceives to be a threat. 

Getting back to last week's cliffhanger ending,  Jimmy's kidnappers were revealed to be Monsieur Mallah and The Brain and guess what, they're they're a couple. An adorable one that bicker but clearly love each other, even though they had different viewpoints on humanity. The Brain being more sceptical of them while Mallah wanted to see the better of them.

By the end of the episode, the amusing couple along with Clark, Lois and Jimmy all worked together to take out the OMAC soldiers along with a handy black hole to boot. As someone who liked the depiction of Mallah and Brain in Doom Patrol, these versions were also highly enjoyable go watch.

- The first episode not to actually have Clark as Supermam apart from the first part of premiere story.

- Jimmy figured out Clark's secret during the first day they met. Lois also talked about her wilderness skills learned from her father.

- It was the red sun protecting Mallah and Brain's hideout that wrecked havoc with Clark's powers.

- Chronology: From where the previous one left off.

My Adventures With Mad Science was definitely the strongest episode yet. I loved the group dynamics with Clark, Lois and Jimmy and both Mallah and Brain were a true delight. Only three more to go.
