Family stuff is more on point. Because it focuses at least a little bit on John and Natalie, each hanging out with people thier own age. There are two continuing plots: Bruno Manheim and Lois' condition. I am no authority on the realities of breast cancer or how well/poorly this was handled going forward. But while Lana and John Henry are being just two adults working together toward a common goal, there is an assassin that comes in to stop Lana's investigation and this assassin FREEZES when it sees John Henry. I couldn't figure out why...until the last scene.
In an epically cool 'gathering of all heroes' episode of Smallville Icicle (or his son) puts on Dr. Fate's helmet, takes Martian Manhunter out in one swoop and proceeds to wipe the floor with Hawkman, Stargirl, Green Arrow and Clark Kent. Then J'onn Jo'nzz phases in and the villain is like "I...killed you." J'onn Jo'nzz, played by Phil Morris says "I'm Mars sole survivor. There's a reason for that." And that's what this felt like. A 'you should be dead' moment. It actually took me a minute to realize why the assailant was so confused. John Henry Irons on this Earth IS dead and was killed by Bruno Manheim or someone close to him. So seeing him helping Lana out, seeing him assisting in the investigation would be like seeing a very dead Harrison Wells walking around and committing another murder.
