Synopsis[]

Plot[]
Lex Luthor purchases a hotel in Smallville as his new base of operations and continues to harass the Kents. Jordan rescues Sam from Luthor and his subordinates Otis and Gretchen (who reveals that Gretchen is not her real name). Superman and Doomsday's battle reaches its climax when Doomsday apparently kills Superman, delivering his heart to Luthor which he places in a box made by LuthorCorp worker named Milton while presenting his corpse to the Kents. Meanwhile, Luthor and his associate Amanda McCoy track the former's estranged daughter Elizabeth. After hearing about Sam's rescue, Luthor advises Otis and "Gretchen" to lay low for awhile.

Trivia[]
- This is the first episode of Superman & Lois to not feature Emmanuelle Chriqui (Lana Lang).
- This leaves only three main cast members to appear in every episode: Tyler Hoechlin (Clark Kent), Elizabeth Tulloch (Lois Lane), and Alex Garfin (Jordan Kent).
- However, as Chriqui only portrayed the Inverse World version of Lana in "Bizarros in a Bizarro World" and Jordan Elsass was replaced by Michael Bishop, this still leaves only four characters to appear in every episode: Clark Kent, Lois Lane, Jonathan Kent, and Jordan Kent.
- Luthor references Boss Moxie during a flashback.
