Jack aborts the mission when he learns that Jimmy is involved and has to kill him.
When he learns what his boss Trevanian was planning to do and why he wanted the computer, he helps Superman prevent the catastrophe and comes to an understanding with his son. Jimmy has excepted who he is and only wants him to try to be his father.
Clark and Lois were thinking about children and when Clark saw what Jimmy's father had to do - abandon his son - to save the world, he was afraid that this might happened with him and his child as well.
