Smallville - Zero

Superman Saturday takes us back to Smallville, Kansas. Teased multiple times over the show’s First Season leading up to the episode, “Zero” delves into Lex Luthor‘s (Michael Rosenbaum) bad boy days in Metropolis before being relocated to Smallville by his father. Secrets of the past haunting a character also bleed over into the episode’s B-story as a school assignment leads to Chloe (Allison Mack) poking around in the Kents’ adoption of Clark (Tom Welling). Just as Lex asks Clark to leave his past alone, Clark finds himself asking the same of Chloe.

Only Murders in the Building - Adaptation / Blow-Up

More suspects are crossed of the list.

The Old Man - XI

Episode “XI” feels a bit as if multiple episodes have been condensed into one due to time constraints. We get the conclusion of Dan Chase (Jeff Bridges) and Harold Harper’s (John Lithgow) time in Afghanistan, Angela (Alia Shawkat) choosing to stay and the death of her father, the return of Zoe (Amy Brenneman), Dan and Harold confronting Morgan Bote (Joel Grey), who never got developed as much as I would have liked, and also his murder. It’s an insane amount to somehow fit together in one episode, but it does allow the story to finish on another cliffhanger with Angela’s best chance now dead by the minions of Suleyman Pavlovich (Rade Serbedzija) who has overtaken both Hamzad (Navid Negahban) and Bote as our true villain (at least for now).
