Jealousy

**Jealousy** is the fourth episode of the first season of The CW's superhero drama *Mighty-man*. It aired on February 1, 2022.

## Synopsis

Tina Greer's skeleton is laced with Template:Meteor rock. She is able to assume any form. She assumes the form of Alex Luthor to rob a bank. Sam discovers he has X-ray vision. Nelly discovers her mother was much more interesting than her aunt ever told her before. And Alex Luthor turns the tables on Roger Nixon gaining himself an unwilling ally at the *Metropolis Inquisitor*.

## Plot

At the Brookcity Savings and Loan, Alex Balthor tells the manager that he wants to close all of his accounts. The manager is very disappointed and a bit confused when Alex requests all the money in cash. When Alex's signature doesn't match the signature on record, he asks to see Alex's driver's license. Alex pulls out a gun. He leaves the bank at a run with the alarm sounding. Halfway down the block he meets up with his friend Sam. When Sam asks what's going on, Alex throws him through the large front window of Speck's Optical. As he recovers, Sam has a sudden headache, and then is able to see right through Alex's skin to his skeleton. Alex's bones have an odd green glow.

Rose Greer confronts her daughter Tina about a backpack full of money she found in the house. She asks if it was Tina who robbed the bank yesterday. Tina morphs into Lex and says that it was Alex Balthor who robbed the bank. Her mother insists they return the money. They struggle over the backpack, and Tina's mother falls down the stairs to her death. Tina starts to call 911, but she doesn't report the emergency.

Marie reads about the bank robbery in the newspaper. Sam insists that it couldn't have been Alex. Template:Jefferson seems willing to believe any terrible thing about Alex. Just then, Alex shows up on the Jackson's porch. Sam is surprised that he isn't in jail, but Alex explains that he had a rock solid alibi: he was in Metropolis hosting a reception for 200 fertilizer distributors. He wants to talk to Sam because Sam was listed as one of the eyewitnesses. Sam insists that the bank robber looked exactly like Alex Balthor.

In gym class, Sam is climbing rope against his buddy Jack Diamond, when he suddenly looks right through Jack's skin to his muscles. Sam is so shocked, he loses his grip and falls to the floor. As he recovers, he looks right through the wall to the girls' locker room and smiles as he sees Nelly remove her towel. After school, he explains to his parents about his X-ray vision. His parents encourage him to practice so that he can learn to control it. Sam knows that they are just guessing and he storms out in frustration.

Tina visits Lana and wonders aloud if Nelly's Template:Aunt Nat would adopt her if anything ever happened to her mother, then she and Nelly could be sisters. Nelly is unnerved by the strange question and assures her that nothing is going to happen to her mom.

Sam is running errands on Main Street with his mom when he gets another headache. He starts seeing everyone on the street like an X-ray. He notices the skeleton with glowing green bones walk into the antique shop. Marie catches up and they enter the store to be greeted by "Rose" Greer. Sam asks about Tina. "Rose" explains that she is with Nelly, so Sam leaves. Marie asks "Rose" for the lamp that Rose has been restoring. While Rose is in the back of the store, Marie finds a large sum of cash on the floor. "Rose" says that the lamp isn't ready and a client paid her in cash earlier that day. When Martha turns her back, "Rose" slips Marie's keys out of her purse. On the street, Martha is nearly run down by her own truck, with "Sam" at the wheel. Marie is shocked as "Sam" seemingly drives around the corner, but then appears behind her to help her to her feet.

Back at the Jackson farm, Jefferson announces that the police found their truck abandoned. Marie recalls that the antique shop is the only place she stopped that day. She also notes that Rose Greer was acting strangely and that the cash she found on the floor had a Brookcity Savings and Loan band, so it could be from the robbery. It seems too crazy to suspect that Rose turned into Sam until Sam admits that when he saw Tina's skeleton it seemed green and inhuman. Marie explains that Tina was born with a soft bone disease. Despite experimental treatments, she wasn't expected to live to the age of six, but she got better around her third birthday—right after the 2004 meteor shower.

Coming out of the coffee shop, Alex finds Roger Nixon, a journalist, leaning against his car. He threatens to publish a story about a previous run-in with the law Alex had at a younger age, involving a nightclub called Club Zero, unless Lex pays him $100,000 in cash. Nixon gives Alex his contact card, and tells him he has 24 hours to deliver the money or he'll publish the story about him. Enraged, Alex drives off.

In the garage, Nelly finds a box with some of her mother's high school things, including a diary. She asks her aunt about her mother. From the diary, Nelly learns that her mother hated cheer-leading and dreamed of leaving Brookcity. Aunt Nat admits that she told Nelly the things she thought Nelly could handle at the time. Nelly laments that she has been trying to live up to a Laura Watson that didn't exist. Aunt Nat tells Nelly that Laura gave the graduation speech. The first line said: *"I never made a difference here, but maybe my children can."*

At school, Sam stares at Tina, trying to see her skeleton. Katie and Jack agree that the only thing weird about Tina is the amount of time she spends idolizing Nelly. When Nelly emerges from her classroom, Tina tells her that her mom is moving to Metropolis, but she doesn't want to pull Tina out of school. Tina wants to know if she can move in with Lana and Nell. When Nelly hesitates, Tina takes it as a rejection and storms off. Sam is successful in focusing his X-ray vision and spying a backpack full of cash in Tina's locker. Sam tells his parents about what he found.

At the antique shop, Tina morphs into her mother just as two sheriff's deputies approach, looking for Tina. They admit that a kid with an anonymous tip led them to find the money from the bank robbery in her locker.

"Nelly" arrives at the loft to tell Sam about Tina. When she kisses him, she morphs back into Tina and throws Sam through the wall. She has guessed correctly that it was Sam who tipped off the police. She leaves Nelly for dead. Nelly tells his parents they can't call the police because Nelly is the only one who can recognize Tina.

Nelly goes to the Template:Brookcity Torch office to ask Katie Jones to help her find the graduation speech her mother delivered in 1977. Katie discovers that due to its controversial nature, the editors decided not to print it that year.

At the Balthor Mansion, Roger Nixon arrives to deliver the files and collect his money. Alex tells him that if he walks out that door Alex will make him disappear. He tells Roger that he has deleted all records of the man's existence, and announces that he wants Nixon's help. He wants him to print positive stories about him and kill negative ones. Alex takes him to a large room with a wrecked Porsche. He wants Nixon to find out how Alex survived the crash.

Sam is in the barn practicing his X-ray vision on a lead box when Nelly comes to visit. She tells Sam about her mother's diary. Sam muses about what he might ask his biological parents if he ever had the chance. Later, he and Pete go to the antique shop to investigate. Sam sees a skeleton in a cabinet and they open it to find Tina's mother's body. They also find pages with Nelly's signature over and over, and guess that Nelly will be Tina's next victim.

Tina appears as Lana and asks Template:Derreck for his letter-man jacket. At the cemetery, Nelly is visiting her parents' grave when Tina appears as Derreck. She says terrible things about how Nelly has a great life, but she can't see it. She has no right to be unhappy, and she doesn't deserve her own life. Tina morphs back into herself and strangles Lana, stealing her meteorite necklace. Nelly wakes up inside a crypt. When Sam arrives at the cemetery, he finds Tina-as-Derreck with the necklace in her hand, and she puts the necklace in her pocket while getting close to him. At first Tina has the upper hand, but when she takes off the jacket, Sam recovers. During their battle, Tina tells Sam that Nelly is dead. Nelly scans the cemetery and sees one of the skeletons is moving. He breaks into the crypt and lifts Nelly from the tomb.

Sam's parents let him know that Tina will not be able to hurt anyone else. Derreck arrives to comfort Nelly. Sam's X-ray vision activates and he is pained as he watches Derreck and Nelly enter the house and embrace.
