Kara explains that the powers should come back with plenty of sunshine, although she can't say when for sure. Clark is pretty anxious now that he can't properly protect his loved ones as he is now. Lois tries to cheer him up by suggesting they try things he's always wanted to try but couldn't because of his powers.

Superman won't be around to take credit for defeating Henshaw and all the civilians had run away so they didn't see the end of the battle, so he'll probably try and take credit for the victory with his tech and also try to score some points by making a statement to the public that:

"Superman and I had our differences and I'll admit he fought bravely against Cyborg Superman but unfortunately he was no match for Lexcorp tech. It will forever haunt me that I wasn't able to respond in time to save him, But now that he's gone, more than ever will Metropolis have to look towards its greatest minds for protection."

I swear this is the kinda guy who would argue about the chore chart to his roommate while all the rooms of the apartment are up in flames. Like "bitch, Do you want to take a second to look around you?"

Also, Really Lex? Is that the only card you know how to play? Look at the audience you're trying to preach your BS to.

He should have been trying to convince Rapunzel's parents into letting him marry her (Not just trying to convince Rapunzel to marry him). Imagine if after his first proposal attempt, King Fredrick takes Eugene aside and tells him a harsh truth

"You know, Eugene I am eternally grateful that you brought my daughter home, and for that I will make sure you live out the rest of your days in comfort. I also know that she cares deeply for you in return, which is why I have allowed you to move into the castle and be close to her, er, ah, for the time being. But please understand, in the long run, the grand scheme of things, you cannot marry her.

Our family is Royalty. Marriage is not just about love, it's about business. I am in no hurry to have her married off to anyone in the foreseeable future, but when that day eventually comes, her husband must be someone who can offer something to the crown. He would be a prince, a lord, a knight, even a wealthy upstart, Someone respected in Coronan high society. You, Eugene, as good a man as I believe you to be, don't have anything to offer the royal family. I'm sorry but you should get these notions of marrying Rapunzel out of your head, and just enjoy the time you have with her now while it lasts."

Eugene doesn't tell anyone that Fredrik told him this. After all, Rapunzel just turned him down, what use is it to tell her that he wasn't able to convince her dad to let them marry if he can't even convince her yet. Not to mention that she's already pretty mad at her father's controlling attitude. He doesn't want to make things worse by telling her about something planned for her way down the line, that he fully intends to prevent anyway. Instead he comes up with plans of his own to change the Royal family's mind and prove that he IS the perfect husband for Rapunzel.

Not a ton would change throughout the show, except that Eugene now has a goal he's consistently and actively perusing instead of every now and then he brings up "Maybe NOW she's ready to say yes to me"

He tries to come up with multiple schemes to impress the king to get him to change his mind.

Implant the idea around high society folk, (The people the king takes seriously) that he's a great catch so that he can get people on team "Let Eugene marry Rapunzel"

Cassandra has already figured out the king would likely try to push Raps into finding a more respectable match someday and that's another point of contention between them. She throws it in his face.

When they leave the kingdom in season 2, Eugene thinks that maybe they can bypass the King's future plans by eloping when he's not around.

Of course there would have to be an episode where Rapunzel has a debutant ball that announces to all eligible young "Respectable" men throughout the land that she's officially an eligible Lady and Eugene is determined to sabotage it.

Picture this: The royal family now doesn't have an heir to the throne since the princess was taken. The queen's previous pregnancy was so dangerous for her, it's been decided she will not give birth ever again. So they have to adopt a precautionary heir. The captain of the guard has a recommendation in young Cassandra (Although he does not say where he found her.) It doesn't heal their broken hearts but it does feel good to have a little girl to look after again, and they love her like their own.

So Cassandra is declared as "The Lady Cassandra, ward of the Coronan royal family".

She is raised with a proper royal education, Just in case the princess is never found. She's not crowned as princess herself exactly. They're holding off on that. She grows up being told by everyone around her that "There's a chance she MIGHT be queen one day" Not that she definitely will be. It comes to feel normal to her.

She grows up hoping that the princess will be found. for one thing, it would make her guardians so happy, and for another, even though she feels confidant she would be good at it, she has ambitions for other things in life then to be crowned. She wants a life of action, daring adventure, and to be a hero like the knights of old. She sneaks around the castle when she's not having lessons, or tending to royal responsibilities and trains like a fighter. The captain of the guard teaches her things in secret, believing she should know how to defend herself.

Finally one day, the Princess returns!.... But it's not what she always imagined. She knows it should be. Now that it's certain she won't be queen she can begin to get serious about the destiny she's always really wanted. But wow, it sure is fast how everyone moved on from her. (Although the king and queen let her know on multiple occasions that they still love her just as they always have)

Fast forward to her revelation as to who her birth mother is. Suddenly it's not JUST that Gothel chose Rapunzel over her. EVERYONE chose Rapunzel over her. Her mother abandoned her for Raps. She grew up being treated as a spare princess.

Yeah, that was kinda weird wasn’t it?

At this point, I'd be shocked if they weren't doing this on purpose.
