Following another excellent episode that laid the groundwork for a potential team-up between Superman (Tyler Hoechlin) and John Henry Irons (Wolé Parks), it looks like next week's installment will redirect the focus to an even larger threat that could bring about pain and destruction all across the globe.
While Irons did hit the open road at the end of the last episode, Parks is a series regular and should be a fixture throughout the rest of the season, which will hopefully result in him officially adopting his Steel alter-ego.
Meanwhile, the trifecta of Clark, Lois (Elizabeth Tulloch), and Chrissy (Sofia Hasmik) team up to figure out why exactly Morgan Edge (Adam Rayner) is so interested in Smallville and what he has planned for the town and its residents.
