Throwback to the Smallville
At the end of the episode Lois says "I'm sold on my small town guy" when asked about living in Smallville. It is similar to what Martha said to Jonathan when they were at dinner in the early parts of season 1. I do not know if it is a throwback but it reminded me of that particular scene.

This show is filled with references and nods to Smallville, it really is a spiritual successor.
Absolutely how I view it
Take it a step further, S’n’L can be Earth-1 and Smallville can be Earth-2.
Making Tom Kal-L and Tyler Kal-El.
