“#Emmanuelle Chriqui Explains Lana’s Heroic Stint as Supermom<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

[WARNING: The following contains MAJOR spoilers for Superman & Lois<\/em> Season 1, Episode 10, \u201cO Mother, Where Art Thou?<\/em>\u201d. If you haven\u2019t seen it, go underground and dig up some X-Kryptonite and come back when you\u2019re ready!]<\/strong><\/p>\n

And we thought only daddy issues ran amok in the Kent family!<\/p>\n

In the latest hour of S&L<\/em>, Clark (Tyler Hoechlin) learned that his whole family \u2014 at least his alien one \u2014 had some stuff to work out as evil mogul Morgan Edge (Adam Rayner) explained that he was, in fact, his half-brother from the same mother, Lara. Not only that, Edge was using something called The Eradicator on longtime Smallville residents to build his army of \u201csubjekts\u201d because they\u2019d spent their lives being slowly exposed to the X-Kryptonite beneath the town, which made them easier to control.<\/p>\n

Supes\u2019 only chance of stopping him? Snagging the Eradicator and download<\/a>ing his late mom\u2019s consciousness into someone just as impressionable in the hopes of finding a way to stop Edge. Cue Lana (Emmanuelle Chriqui), who offered her own noggin for the experiment, since it was also her best shot at saving her already Eradicated (and miserable d-bag) hubby Kyle (Erik Valdez).<\/p>\n

The episode is momentous for several reasons \u2014 the expansion of the Kal-El family tree, the seeming culmination of the X-Kryptonite arc, the new twist in Edge\u2019s master plan teased at the end \u2014 but it\u2019s the more domestic developments the story is setting up that we\u2019re most into. Now that Lana has finally met Superman, how will that impact how Clark interacts with the former Ms. Lang off-duty? Does she hold onto any of Lara\u2019s memories following her stint as Supermom\u2019s conduit? And will Kyle start to lighten up after escaping Edge\u2019s control? Or at least stop wearing his wraparound sunglasses on the back of his head?<\/p>\n

We chatted up the so lovely Emmanuelle Chriqui about all of our Cushings concerns, as well as the show\u2019s terrific balance of action and heart, as well as what could be coming down the pike, post-Eradication. And she\u2019s just as excited about it all as we are!<\/p>\n

First off, I thought it was such a cool idea to bring in Lana as this character who\u2026 they\u2019re not really playing a love triangle, this is just his good old friend.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Emannuelle Chriqui:<\/strong> Yeah, it is. It\u2019s cool. It\u2019s unique to the universe. I think a lot of people were thinking, \u201cIs she going to be a redhead? And is she going to be up against Lois Lane (Elizabeth Tulloch)?\u201d But no, she\u2019s not! And I think they\u2019re building the relationships so beautifully actually\u2026as real adults, not catty girls.<\/p>\n

Now, I will say I was so worried though because Kyle was such a jerk.<\/strong><\/p>\n

[Laughs<\/em>] I know, we all were! We all were worried. Just like, \u201cOh God, he\u2019s so unlikable.\u201d I would speak to my friends or my family, and they\u2019re like, \u201cWow, he must be really<\/em> good because I don\u2019t like him one bit.\u201d And I was like, \u201cYeah, he\u2019s really good because Erik is literally the antithesis of his character.<\/p>\n

That is so good to hear! And I feel like the events of this episode could kind of reset the table for the Cushings?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think so too. People were wondering where Kyle was headed with the whole Morgan Edge of it all. And I think that the fact that he\u2026I think people are going to be surprised and relieved by the end of the episode. We\u2019ll start to see his good colors coming out, which I think is important\u2014certainly as a woman and as an actor\u2014because I was like, \u201cWhat the hell is wrong with Lana, staying with him?!\u201d<\/p>\n

She\u2019s a catch! And what is this also going to do to Lana, being implanted with Lara\u2019s consciousness? Tat\u2019s a hero move! How much of her knowledge does Lana bring out with her?<\/strong><\/p>\n

You mean, once she\u2019s turned back to normal? Oh my God. Damian, that\u2019s a great question. I don\u2019t know the answer to that, if any, actually. That\u2019s a question for [showrunner] Todd Helbing.<\/p>\n

\"Superman<\/p>\n

Bettina Strauss\/The CW<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I was waiting for her to realize that Clark is Superman.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I know. And this is the thing, there were definitely touches of that in the episode. I imagine that they\u2019re going to explore that at some point. Did you catch the recognition beat, just before I turn and Superman says \u201cLana\u201d\u2026 the way he says her name, I looked at him in a certain way?<\/p>\n

Yes!<\/strong><\/p>\n

They\u2019re definitely starting to veer off that a little bit. And I think the fact that this is the first time that we\u2019ve seen Lana and Superman together is also [big]. The fanboys are going to be talking about this episode! And I think this episode dropped a lot of things for the future.<\/p>\n

Oh definitely. When you kind of resolve a big storyline like this before the finale, we saw how it\u2019s planting the seeds for something bigger. Could this position Lana and Kyle to be more incorporated with the hero stories?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Interesting. I think once again, that remains to be seen. The thing that\u2019s cool and sort of a challenge in our show is that the normal people are doing extraordinary things, right? It\u2019s not just the superheroes that are saving the day, which I think is so awesome in our show. The challenge is that the Cushings are a little bit of a silo unto themselves in the show, so unless it\u2019s a direct storyline that intersects with, in this case, Morgan Edge and Superman, we\u2019re a little bit on our own. I guess it just will depend to see sort of what happens in the future. But I think Lana\u2019s bank days are over. That\u2019s my guess. [Laughs<\/em>]<\/p>\n

She\u2019s definitely fired! But that also opens the door for more domestic stories for the Cushings, which is such a sweet spot for the show. It\u2019s so good at telling a grounded look at life in Smallville amid the Superman stuff.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That makes me so happy to hear. Because again, I think it\u2019s a balancing act, of superhero and family drama. Some episodes, you have a little more breathing room where it\u2019s less action-y and more family-driven. And then other times it\u2019s super, super action hero-y and less family stuff. But I think there are definitely a few episodes this season that are the sweet spot of the show, where they strike that balance. Because I\u2019m with you. I love those stories a lot.<\/p>\n

And you what, I just keep saying that we have the best cast ever. And it\u2019s a crazy thing because I really do believe that if enough people other than just the CW audience tune into our show, I really, really believe that the level of talent on the show from an acting point of view, would be really recognized. We have such a freaking talented cast.<\/p>\n

Well, hopefully, the episodes dropping on HBO Max will help folks find it over the summer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first six, I believe are on HBO Max\u2026so hopefully other people tune in because I think we have a special show. I was going to say a special little show, but\u2026it\u2019s not little at all! [Laughs<\/em>]<\/p>\n
