Chad Coleman is absolutely perfect casting for this kind of layered, complex character, able to remain likable even when he’s intimidating characters we care about. You can’t argue with his reasons even if his actions are reprehensible. We know for a fact that he’s doing nasty things that put countless people in direct danger, but it’s hard to hate him for it. As with his conversation with Superman, he’s an excellent manipulator, and you can see Lois’ facade cracking as he tells her why he opened the facility. The guy who is doing illegal things so that the generations after him don’t have to. Here, it’s Bruno being Bruno.īruno takes Lois through his facility, and the show is working hard here to establish him as a morally gray antagonist in the vein of Daredevil‘s Wilson Fisk. In other shows or with a character without the right groundwork laid, this would look like happenstance. He’s proven himself to be the most informed person on the show so far, so this seems like an inevitability. She sneaks into one of the offices, but Mannheim is there almost immediately. Or, more appropriately, she’s using her cancer as an excuse to try to sneak into Mannheim’s facilities to see what information she can get from him. Lois is focused on her cancer at the moment, though. Lois vs Bruno Photo: The CW - © 2023 The CW Network, LLC. Lana has to navigate handling the fact that the late Smallville mayor George Dean was wrapped up in some pretty shady stuff with his son’s very public mourning of his father. Kyle himself is figuring out what a relationship with Chrissy might look like, but isn’t quite ready to tell Lana or Sarah about it. Jon’s girlfriend Candice is living with the Kents while she finds a new place to stay, and Jonathan begins to think about his future when Kyle Cushing offers him a job at the fire station. While Lois’ diagnosis continues to take center stage this week, it’s starting to seem like every plot thread that isn’t Smallville-centric ties back to Bruno Mannheim–and even one of those that might! With that said, much of this episode is devoted to characters navigating relationships and is a pretty quiet one overall. ![]() ![]() Photo: Colin Bentley/The CW - © 2023 The CW Network, LLC. Lastly, Natalie (Tayler Buck) has a surprise visitor. Meanwhile, Lana (Emmanuelle Chriqui) and Sarah (Inde Navarrette) have a run-in with an old friend at the diner. Spoilers follow for Superman & Lois Season 3, Episode 05, “Head On.” “Head On”Ĭlark (Tyler Hoechlin) and General Lane (Dylan Walsh) are both having a hard time giving Lois (Elizabeth Tulloch) room to make her own decisions. Right now, though, she’s incredibly vulnerable in a way she’s never been–you can’t expose the criminal history of cancer, and Superman can’t save you from it. Lois Lane is a relentless reporter–imagine one of the people she’s exposed describing her, and it would sound like someone talking about John Wick, but with a keyboard instead of a gun (or pencil).
