The penultimate episode was directed by Arrowverse veteran, Alexandra La Roche, her direction and vision were great. This was probably one of the best edited episodes of the entire show, the visual effects were also really strong. Everything on the technical side was brilliant. I only have one negative thing to say about this episode, it was brilliant in every way except for the run time as it felt too short. I wished for longer fight sequences and more time for the actors to truly shine, instead we got quick but meaningful dialogue to speed the plot forward as the penultimate episode has one goal and it's to build up for the finale.
The Eradicator which is the title for the penultimate episode, it follows up on the events of the previous episode where Morgan Edge sacrificed himself for the Eradicator to gain his body, the other story arcs are Jordan's romantic relationship with Sarah, and Jonathan bonding and helping John Henry Irons. The Eradicator is out there and it's an upcoming threat that needs to be taken care of but will Superman and Steel come out successful? The story of Superman and Lois first season is coming to a close and it's going in the right direction, this is very much a perfect Superman story and the writers are doing one incredible job, or simply they have since the first episode.
Summary: I found it to be 38 minutes of brilliant television, entertaining and dramatic from start to finish. I only wish it would have been ten minutes longer and more action packed, though the action looked great it just want special enough. But for a penultimate episode, the writers and director managed to pull off a memorable episode of Superman and Lois.
