The last and fourth chapter of Superman & Lois premiered on The CW on October 7, 2024, and the show didn't hesitate to kill the Man of Steel right when the first two episodes came out. When Superman dies in the early episodes of Season 4, we see Lois Lane worried about losing her partner, while their sons Jordan and Jonathan are struggling to figure out their roles in the world.

Superman & Lois also brought the famous Superman villain from the DC comics, Lex Luthor, played by Michael Cudlitz. Following the absence of the superhero, Luthor uses this as an opportunity to execute his sinister plans.

The Kent family had to deal with the threats posed by the enemy, while also dealing with the grief of losing Clark Kent or Superman. As seen in episode 3 titled Always My Hero, the Department of Defense (DOD) tries to fill the void left behind by Superman and calls John Henry Irons (Steel) and his daughter Natalie (Starlight).

The episode was filled with notable twists and developments in the story, with its end hinting at the return of the titular hero. Read more to explore the release date and what to expect from the upcoming episode.

The new episode of Superman & Lois Season 4 is fast approaching, and before you enjoy it, make sure to know what happened in the previous episode. As mentioned above, episode 3 featured the DOD asking Starlight and Steel to fill in as substitutes for Superman, as he's gone (at least for now). The two agree to stay in Smallville and are the new targets for Lex Luthor and Doomsday.

As the episode progressed, Jonathan Kent finally discovered his Kryptonian powers. It was previously believed that the superhero's son wouldn't gain powers in the series, but episode 3 brings a twist revealing Jonathan's powers including x-ray vision, super-healing, and flight.

Meanwhile, Lex Luthor continues to target the Kent family by manipulating Jordan against his mother and son. This adds up to the family conflicts, as Jordan now seems to be jealous of his own brother, just what Luthor wants when his rival isn't there.

One of the saddest parts in Superman & Lois episode 3 is when General Sam Lane meets a tragic end. Being a protective father, he refused to betray his daughter and provoked Lex Luthor. As a result, a soldier working under Luthor shoots Lane, and he's left wounded.

Despite his injury, Sam Lane stood against Doomsday and didn't follow what Lex Luthor had ordered. However, before General Sam Lane died, he injected himself with Superman's blood. This hints at Superman coming back to life using Lane's heart after his sacrifice.

Following Sam Lane's sacrifice, there's a possibility to bring Superman back to life. Fans didn't get to see much of Tyler Hoechlin as the fan-favorite DC superhero, but the upcoming episode hints at his return.

However, according to the DC comics, the Man of Steel didn't come back with all of his mighty powers. So does that mean Hoechlin's Superman will be less powerful? Well, for that fans have to wait until tomorrow to see what's next in the TV series.

Additionally, both of Superman's sons have now found their true potential and powers, and it would be intriguing to watch how they'll help their father if returns to Smallville. Meanwhile, Lex Luthor is set to make another sinister plan to put the Kent family in hot water.
