Superman & Lois Just Put Another Nail In The Supergirl Link's Coffin
Warning: The following contains SPOILERS for Superman and Lois season 2, episode 2, «The Ties That Bind.»
The link between Supergirl and Superman and Lois is close to dead following new information regarding the Earth-Prime Lucy Lane. Despite being a Supergirl spinoff, Superman and Lois season 1 made no references to the series that inspired it. Indeed, apart from a cameo by Arrow's John Diggle, Superman and Lois has largely stood apart from the larger Arrowverse. While it was presumed this was due to shooting restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic that made it impossible to film crossovers between the various Arrowverse series, it appears that Superman and Lois is actively ignoring the show that inspired it.
A subplot in the Superman and Lois season 2 episode «The Ties That Bind» found Lois Lane (Elizabeth Tulloch) in conflict with her business partner at the Smallville Gazette, Chrissy Beppo (Sofia Hasmik), after Lois was accused of coercing her sources on an expose into a self-help guru whom Lois had painted as a dangerous cult leader. Lois Lane defended her story and her sources, but admitted to Chrissy that the mystery source whom she quoted in the article was her younger sister, Lucy Lane. Lois' description of a woman who lost her savings and nearly died following a questionable spiritual advisor painted a radically different portrait of Lucy Lane than that presented during Supergirl season 1.
