Jimmy is back on screen and hopped up on painkillers higher than Charlie Sheen in Vegas. Meanwhile, Clark plays hero around Metropolis as Tess begins to get a little bit suspicious.
And Davis?
Yeah, he’s still killing people and only Jimmy seems to care. Awkward.
The Random:
1. Jimmy has certainly had much better days—nearly being killed by Doomsday definitely not one of them—but having post traumatic stress, getting hooked on painkillers, and then seeing Davis kill someone, and no one believing him, has to rank among his worst.
2. Tess got herself a haircut. I’m pretty sure she went into the salon and said, “Make me impossibly sexier,” and, impossibly, they did just that. Then she opens up to Clark on a private champagne fueled trip out to LA, hoping he’ll do the same. She’s hella damaged, but Clark, if you don’t make a move, I just might have to. Fair warning. And, honestly, when Tess tells you, “There’s not a bad bone in your body,” the proper response is, “Would you like there to be one in yours?” Get with it, bro.
3. Jimmy’s playing a mighty, mighty dangerous game with Davis right now, considering what he suspects about him. For future reference, Jimbo, you might want to refrain from jumping Doomvis in a darkened alley with no witnesses. You’re actually lucky Chloe tazed your drug addled ass.

Somehow, this was not followed with a Mile High Club induction…

The Awesome:
1. In the comics, Doomsday was really a one-dimensional brawler, but while this interpretation strays so far from the source material, it’s nice to see him as more complex, and see Davis as truly tormented with the destructive forces inside of him. Adding him to Jimmy’s little Rear Window situation and convincing everyone—even Jimmy at one point—that he’s innocent was pure badassery on the part of the show for sure.
2. Clark is finally really getting into his role as the horribly named Red Blue Blur and, best of all, he’s enjoying himself in the process. This is the non whiny Clark we’ve been waiting for, quick changing and saving lives with a smile.
3. The final montage is quite well done with Jimmy and Chloe in a much darker place, and Davis starting to realize that perhaps there is no fighting what he is after all. This is not going to end well for anyone involved, now is it?

Uh, Chloe, you MIGHT want to keep some distance. Just sayin’.

The WTF?!:
1. Did Chloe really suggest to Clark that Jimmy is doing fine? The guy mashing the button of his morphine drip like he’s playing Tekken and trying to pull off a combo? Yeah, I don’t think Jimmy is the one you were referring to, Ms. Sullivan.
2. Ah, the hospital, that lovely place where more people seem to die than are cured and patients in serious need of supervision can go missing at will, how we love you. And are utterly mystified by you because, really, how can this place not have been shut down by now?
3. You know it’s been a while since we’ve seen someone so sure that Clark had powers that they were willing to do something completely asinine to prove it. Congrats, Tess, you’ve won the prize for most inane as this time you didn’t just try and do something like blow up a car with Clark in him. No, that’s so Season 2. Instead, you manufacture an entire plane crash—that you're on. Wow.

“Kid, you’ve gotta get out of this hospital, no one ever leaves!”
