Summary

Lois meets her journalism idol, Vicki Vale – only for Vicki to make Lois question her loyalty to Superman. Meanwhile, Superman hunts down Task Force X while dealing with a new power!

Our Take

A tense hour that finally pulls the season’s bigger story into focus. Lois getting challenged by Vicki Vale gives her arc a real jolt, and Clark’s new power adds some genuine stakes to the Task Force X chase. The pacing stumbles a bit in the middle, but the ending lands hard. Worth your time, especially if you’ve been waiting for things to escalate.
