Complete story — includes the ending

A man from NIA gives Lois a burned computer before he dies and Lois asks Jimmy to retrieve the information from it since many people seem to not want the information go in public. In the meantime, Jimmy's father, Jack ( James Read ), returns to Metropolis after 4 years. As it is revealed, Jack is a spy who works for the NIA and is asked to get the burned computer the soonest as possible and to not stop in front of anything. Jack backs off when he learns that Jimmy is involved and he may have to kill him. When he learns what his boss was planning to do and why he wants the computer, he helps Superman prevent the catastrophe and then gets along with his son. Meanwhile, Clark and Lois were thinking about children and when Clark saw what Jimmy's father had to do - abandon his son - to save the world, he was afraid that this might happen with him and his kid as well. Lois tells him that this will not happen because he will be a good father and will put his family first.
