Superman & Lois #4.5 “Break the Cycle” Description Released

The CW has released a description with spoilers for the fifth episode of Superman & Lois Season 4! The episode is called “Break the Cycle” and Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. star Elizabeth Henstridge directed this one which was written by fan-favorite Adam Mallinger. Here’s the write-up; a trailer for the episode can be found here.

THE EPISODE WAS DIRECTED BY ELIZABETH HENSTRIDGE (“AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.”) – Lois (Elizabeth Tulloch) makes increasingly bold moves as she tries to stop Luthor (Michael Cudlitz). Jonathan (Michael Bishop) struggles to balance his personal life and responsibilities, while Clark (Tyler Hoechlin) learns an unsettling truth. Elizabeth Henstridge (“Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D..”) directed the episode written by Adam Mallinger (#405). Posted on KryptonSite. Original airdate 10/28/2024.


Season four of SUPERMAN & LOIS picks up right where last season left off: with Superman (Tyler Hoechlin) and Luthor’s monster locked in a ferocious, moon-wrecking battle, as Clark (Tyler Hoechlin) fights for his life against the seemingly unstoppable creature. Back on the ground, General Lane (guest star Dylan Walsh) struggles to stay alive after being kidnapped by Luthor’s henchmen, while Lois (Elizabeth Tulloch), Jordan (Alex Garfin), and Jonathan (Michael Bishop) race against time to rescue him. But standing in their way is Lex Luthor (Michael Cudlitz) himself, who has permanently moved to Smallville as the next step in his malicious plan to destroy Lois Lane. Meanwhile, Lana Lang (guest star Emanuelle Chriqui) uses her position as Mayor to fight back against Luthor’s schemes, a move which puts her in the sights of the most dangerous man in the world and threatens everything she holds dear. This includes her relationship with John Henry Irons (guest star Wolé Parks), who must put his Ironworks plans on hold and rejoin the DOD, now that General Lane is missing. But they aren’t the only duo in trouble, as Chrissy Beppo (guest star Sofia Hasmik) and Kyle Cushing (guest star Eric Valdez) face an uphill battle of their own, with countless roadblocks that threaten to ruin their future together. Amid all the chaos, Sarah Cortez (guest star Inde Navarette) and Natalie Irons (guest star Tayler Buck) also join the fight against Luthor, while both facing impossible decisions about their paths in life. And as Clark’s battle with the terrifying monster continues, Lois, her boys, and the world must face an unthinkable possibility: what if Superman never returns?

SUPERMAN & LOIS stars Tyler Hoechlin as Clark Kent/Superman, Elizabeth Tulloch as Lois Lane, Alex Garfin as Jordan Kent, Michael Bishop as Jonathan Kent, and Michael Cudlitz as Lex Luthor.
