Superman & Lois S02E07 Will "Break Your Heart": Elizabeth Henstridge

In our preview from over the weekend for The CW's Tyler Hoechlin & Elizabeth Tulloch-starring Superman & Lois, we saw that things continued to worsen between Lois (Tulloch) & Lucy (Jenna Dewan), Jordan (Alex Garfin) & Jonathan (Jordan Elsass), and Lana (Emmanuelle Chriqui) & Kyle (Erik Valdez). But worst of all, it was the growing animosity between Superman (Hoechlin) and Lt. Anderson (Ian Bohen) that was the most concerning. Because while Superman is locked away under charges of treason (not a great relationship-fixer), his "Bizarro" doppelganger is an open target & Ally (Rya Kihlstedt) is free to obtain the pendants she needs. While that's more than enough to get viewers excited about the episode, fans of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. have an extra reason to be excited with series alum Elizabeth Henstridge directing this week's chapter. And in an interview with TVLine, Henstridge made it clear that viewers should prepare their "feels" for a serious beating.

"Oh my gosh, we're going to break your heart," Henstridge warned. "You need a pack of tissues, and then you also need a pillow to squeeze into and to punch and to hide behind. It's an episode that has everything that I would want, and I think we really deliver on all fronts. The acting in it is phenomenal and we've earned these really big moments of emotion and turning points for a bunch of characters. We also get these big, big sequences that have a lot of elements to them, and we get Bizarro, and we get things that I think people are going to have strong opinions on. [Laughs] And we get to see the genesis of a couple of characters that is going to have a massive impact on where the season goes." Now here's a look at what's ahead with the remaining preview images, as well as the episode overview and official promo for S02E07 "Anti-Hero":

Superman & Lois Season 2 Episode 7 "Anti-Hero": ELIZABETH HENSTRIDGE ("AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.") DIRECTS – Superman (Tyler Hoechlin) pleads with Lt. Anderson (guest star Ian Bohen, "Teen Wolf") to investigate Ally Allston (guest star Rya Kihlstedt) and Lois (Elizabeth Tulloch) receives some very upsetting news. Meanwhile, Lois helps Lana (Emmanuelle Chriqui) prepare to fight the good fight. Lastly, Jordan (Alex Garfin) is still irritated with Jonathan (Jordan Elsass) for lying to him. Dylan Walsh, Erik Valdez, Wole Parks, Sofia Hasmik and Tayler Buck also star. The episode was directed by Elizabeth Henstridge and written by Max Cunningham & Michael Narducci.

Shortly after the Bizarro reveal, Hoechlin discussed the series' "newest addition" & here are some of those highlights (with the entire interview here):

On How He Developed His Bizarro Take: "I think it's a gift for anybody that's on a show when you're given something that allows you to completely go away from what you're doing consistently. I've been on shows in the past and I've been very lucky that they've given me new things to play with every season, and I've been on shows before where you feel like you're doing the same thing for years. It's always a gift to have the opportunity to really step out of your comfort zone of the character that you're getting used to and trying something new. I thought that was really fun, and I definitely am playing a lot of different things than Clark or Superman is dealing with. All of this thing has been a challenge, but it's been exciting and fun to just explore."

On Making Bizarro His Own: "In a way, there are certain rules with Superman. There are certain rules with Clark. You can find ways to bend those and kind of make it your own, but there are still just certain constants about them that make Superman Superman. With this new [character], there aren't really any rules, and so it's kind of fun to be able to, between action and cut, just go for it and say like, 'Well, there's not really a wrong way to do this. We're just playing with it, and we're going to find what works and go from there.' I think that was something that was really nice."

Bizarro Will Have Folks Thinking About Superman Differently: "Those are actual spoilers, I think, even at this point, so I won't get too much into that, but I will say we have choices and people go down different paths. Clark and Superman, Kal-El, has always been very much [believed] in the path that he's walking, and maybe not everybody always does that. I think there's always a question of, what happens if Superman wasn't Superman anymore… if he started making different choices? So those are themes that we get to kind of explore: walking away from Superman and still being part of Superman."
