History Recap / SupermanAndLoisS2E12LiesThatBind

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: After thinking about it, Lana decides against telling Sarah, because that would put her in the position of having to play SecretKeeper for Clark and his family. She seemingly doesn't even consider telling Sophie, likely not trusting Sophie to keep such a big secret at her age, and thus Sarah would also be forced to lie to Sophie. She decides that she would prefer that their families just make a clean break and avoid each other from now on, because she does not want her daughters developing the attitude that lying is okay, a problem that the Kents have within their own family.

* SiblingTeam: Natalie, Jon and Jordan (who are kind of half-siblings since Natalie's mother and the twins' mother were/are both versions of Lois Lane) form one in this episode in their adventure in the mines. Afterwards, they refer to the experience as "family bonding", which is the first time they've acknowledged it directly in dialogue.

* ContinuityNod: Tal-Rho becomes interested in finding out more about the woman his double married.

* Jordan and Nat mention climate-activist Greta Thunberg to explain Jon's StrawNihilist attitude.

* StrawNihilist: Jon tells Timmy, Sean and Corey that everything is meaningless anyways, since the end is coming soon. While he is referring to Ally Allston's plan, Jordan and Nat make an excuse for him that he has been watching Greta Thunberg recently and is very concered about climate change.

* ShoutOut:
** When Sarah plays one of her own songs, Kyle mistakes it for a Music/OliviaRodrigo song.
** And when he takes her to play at Tonya's old bar, he compares her to Music/BillieEilish.
