Thankfully, she came to that realization in time to let Poppa Lane (Dylan Walsh) activate the hero-in-training to save them both before the goons running an X-K lab exterminated them.<\/p>\n<p>But with Clark MIA, having been sucked into Ally Allston\u2019s portal to the Inverse World, that meant Jordan was the only Kent in town with superpowers and that is a <em>lot<\/em> for a teenager to take on. Especially since his twin Jonathan (Jordan Elsass) had his hands full coming clean about Candice (Samantha Di Francesco) being his X-K dealer and John Henry (Wol\u00e9 Parks) was busy trying to figure out why daughter Natalie hated him this week. The upside of it all is that Jordan discovered that he could fly. The downside? Responding to so many rescues meant ditching Sarah (Inde Navarrette) at her most emotional time, leaving the poor kid with no choice but to end things with Jordan.<\/p>\n<p>Here, Garfin explains what his character is going through now that he\u2019s got the coolest powers ever and no girlfriend to keep him grounded.<\/p>\n<p><strong>OK, so good <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> first\u2026you got to fly this week!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Alex Garfin:<\/strong> Yeah.

When Superman\u2019s gone, he has to pick up the slack and all of a sudden there\u2019s his pressure on him. He thrives under that pressure, but he also cracks. His personal relationships start to go all over the place and part of him is also mourning his father, right? He doesn\u2019t know is he\u2019s coming back and kind of goes through the stages of grief. In the beginning, there\u2019s a bit of bargaining. He listens to the portal and it almost feels like prayer. Throughout the episode he kind goes through the works over those 30 days and 30 nights.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I love that, on top of the action stuff, the family stuff remains so important.

He\u2019s had his first taste of heartbreak, which is something Lois can actually understand, being in love with somebody with powers. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well, Sarah\u2019s got a lot going on in her life. They do a really good job of showing that. Ian Samoil, who directed this episode\u2014he\u2019s absolutely brilliant, that guy\u2014and he said something really beautiful. For a lot of us working in film and TV, this is one of these jobs where the hours are really long, but you love it so much that you\u2019re happy to do it. But your spouse doesn\u2019t necessarily understand that and eventually, you may get to a point where they are maybe wondering why you\u2019re not spending any time with them.<\/p>\n<p>So I think, going forward, you will see a lot of the effects of the heartbreak. The show likes to marinate and it does that very well. It shines and really has this glow to it when it [showcases] these dynamics and brings in the human element to these extraordinary circumstances. So we\u2019re gonna see that applied with the Sarah-Jordan stuff with their break-up, we see it applied to Lois dealing with Jordan\u2019s powers. So, yeah, I\u2019m looking forward to both of those.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Was there any induction ceremony of hazing when Jordan Elsass started getting \u201cpowers\u201d on the show?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You know what? There should have been! We could have had a ceremony with big hats. There aren\u2019t enough big hats in modern culture. All the cool religions of the world have big hats. Like a tall one, that doesn\u2019t even fit in the door. A hat of honor! [<em>Laughs<\/em>]<\/p>\n<p><strong>How was it actually having to strap up for the flying sequence?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You know, I came out with a brand new respect for Tyler Hoechlin. [<em>Laughs<\/em>] So the strap lifts you up by lifting your legs <em>apart<\/em>. I mean, it lifts you with your back, as well\u2026a little bit. But it\u2019s really by lifting your legs apart. You know that machine at the gym that no one uses, where you have to do you sit there and put your legs on either side of a pad?<\/p>\n<p><strong>The abductor machine?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yeah, so you know how no one has ever used that machine in the history of the gym? Well, it\u2019s like that but you gotta support your own weight on that for like <em>an hour<\/em>. Before we start rolling, my legs are very far apart and that is as close as you\u2019re gonna get to \u201crest.\u201d And then when they call \u201caction,\u201d to look [like] Superman, you have to tighten your butt up, pull your legs together, pump your chest out and then all these muscles that you don\u2019t normally use, that like, I think only astronauts would use, are <em>all<\/em> engaged. And it\u2019s just strange. I have a lot of respect for Tyler now. [<em>Laughs<\/em>]<\/p>\n<p>You know what, though? It\u2019s an honor to fly. At the end of the day, it is really cool.
