Amanda: "Oh, Sam, that's easy. Today's the day you talk."
Amanda Waller, never change. No, seriously, you're just too enjoyable as a baddie and this episode displayed Waller at her worst so far this show. She opened the episode preparing breakfast.
The breakfast she explored was for Sam Lane under the assurance that she would break him and when it appeared she was failing, she made it clear to Sam that she'd have no problem using Lois to get what she wanted.
In all fairness, she didn't need to bother because Lois and Superman came to her in order to rescue Sam. In that, it was revealed that Waller was using Kryptonian tech in order to experiment on the prisoners, including Billy's father.
Yup, it showed Waller at her worst to the point where even Sam was openly disgusted with her actions. Of course from Waller's perspective she just willing to make the kind of sacrifices that Sam refused to make. However her actions nearly caught up with her when Parasite was on the loose.
Fortunately for Amanda though, her rescuer was none other than Alexander 'Lex' Luthor. Yes, they finally revealed his identity after barely attempting to cover it up to begin with and Lex's quick thinking not only saved Waller's life but bagged him a scientific position to boot.
As for Superman and Lois, I did like that Clatk expressed his misgivings about Sam and how the latter mistreated him and Lois. I'm also not sure what Lois was thinking by suggesting that Sam stayed with Clark and Jimmy. That wasn't her brightest idea.
- Jimmy got assigned a Flamebird group (which included Steve Lombard) by Perry. Steve had access to a boat.
- I'm wondering was Agent Martin meant to be Dr Phosphorus? It seemed like it.
- Livewire got a mention in the episode by Waller when the latter was talking about her latest experiments.
- Chronology: From where the previous episode left off.
Adventures With My Girlfriend certainly had plenty of action with the searches for both Sam and Supergirl dominating the episode, along with Amanda's ruthlessness on full display. The Jimmy subplot was amusing enough too.
Rating: 7 out of 10
