As a devoted fan of Superman & Lois, I must admit that the latest twist in Season 4 has left me both thrilled and perplexed. The reveal of Clark Kent’s identity as Superman, while expected at some point, was not something I anticipated so soon. It’s like finding out that Santa Claus is real – it’s exciting, but also a bit anticlimactic because you knew it all along!

On the CW network, the final episodes of “Superman & Lois” are airing now, as the show is wrapping up after Season 4. The climactic events of this series have been filled with captivating storylines, one of which involves the death and resurrection of the Kryptonian superhero. In a surprising turn, Superman chose to unmask himself in Episode 7. However, what led the Man of Steel to expose his true identity on the CW show?

In Superman & Lois Season 4 Episode 7, there’s a significant development as Clark Kent chooses to disclose his true identity. Here’s the breakdown of what you should be aware of.

Why Clark Kent reveals his secret identity to the world in Superman & Lois Season 4

In simpler terms, the main character played by Tyler Hoechlin (Superman) reveals his most guarded secret to the world following Emmitt Pergande’s announcement of seeking retribution against Superman from their fight in Season 3.

In a twist of events, it’s revealed that Candice’s father, Pergande – who has been estranged from her – discovers Clark Kent’s secret identity as Superman, thanks to Lex Luthor. With a malicious intent to expose Superman, he travels to Smallville. In a confrontation at the local diner where Kent was appearing, Pergande tries to force Kent to reveal his secret. But when Kent refuses, Pergande brandishes a gun and threatens to shoot him as proof. Facing the danger of an unstable adversary, Kent skillfully dodges the bullet, thereby inadvertently revealing his hidden identity as Superman to the people of Smallville.

Although he successfully handled the dilemma by exposing his true identity as Superman, Clark Kent finds himself in a challenging situation following the incident at the diner. He confides in his relatives that his hidden persona appears to be creating more problems with each passing day. Additionally, the townsfolk of Smallville have been suspicious since his earlier death and resurrection this season. Given the delicate circumstances, the Kent family concludes it’s best to disclose Superman’s secret identity as a means of easing tensions.

As a result, Kent arranges an interview at The Daily Planet, during which he’s not wearing his famous outfit. He shares his secret identity and discusses his lengthy career as Superman, along with the main reasons for maintaining his disguise for such a long time. The storyline in Episode 7 concludes on a hopeful note, but this revelation may bring numerous challenges for Tyler Hoechlin’s portrayal of Superman in the forthcoming episodes.
