Superman and Lois (2021) s03e11 Episode Script

Previously on "Superman and Lois"
I've known about the double
mastectomy since day one.
It just feels like every day
I lose something.
You'll still be you.
You looked annoyed
that I came to talk to you
when you were with him.
Stop making me feel weird
whenever I'm around you.
Sometimes I really wish
I never fell in love with you.
- Sheriff!
- Sheriff!
- Go! Go!
- [TIRES SCREECH]
We're gonna charge her with a DUI.
- Somebody saved us.
- Junior.
There's no way we could
have just gotten out.
Is that Superman?
This Superman is how I found
the cure to save your mom.
Your mother's dying. She needs you.
The cure, it works.
[ROARS]
Come on, Kent. I know he's got powers.
- I know it was him.
- No, it wasn't.
I'll explain it all to you tomorrow.
She's gone.
- You did it.
- We did it.

This is Peia.
There are no bullets!
[GUNFIRE CONTINUES, PEOPLE SHOUTING]
These fake attacks keep happening.
When's this gonna stop, Superman?
I'm working on it.
[GUNFIRE, SHOUTING CONTINUE]
Any sign of Peia?
Seems like she's everywhere.
Whatever cure she got from Mannheim
must have kicked her powers up tenfold.
It's throwing me off.
I can't tell where she
and Bruno are hiding.
If you don't figure it out soon,
I'm worried someone's gonna get hurt.
We need to stop her!

There will be a little discomfort.
But once this is done,
you'll be all prepped
for tomorrow's surgery.
Now, once you're numb,
I'll be using ultrasound
to locate the problematic lymph nodes,
then injecting a tiny radar reflector.
So you can biopsy it during surgery
and find out if the chemo's
been working I got it.
You all set for your recovery?
Bags are packed. Boys
are prepping the house.
And, uh, tonight we're hosting
some friends
for her last meal before the surgery.
I know how scary this is
having a bilateral mastectomy.
But I promise, I'll do everything I can
to get the surgery done right.
- Thanks.
- So will I.
