Episode Summary

Perry gets "moved upstairs" and the Daily Planet gets a new editor--Lois! This causes tension between Metropolis's prettiest pair, and it isn't helped when a spoiled rich kid hacker and his brother--who emulate Lex Luthor--try to obliterate Superman once and for all.

Episode Cast and Crew

View All
  • Jimmy says Eric Press is the "Michael Jordan of hacking" at the beginning of the episode. Later, Lois asks Jimmy to break into Press' computer and amazingly, Jimmy somehow manages it. One would think that an "elite" hacker like Press would have better security measures to keep his computer from being broken into. []
  • In "The Ides of Metropolis" when Clark is upset about his mother possibly having an affair with a younger man, he tells Lois that his parents have been married for almost 30 years. []
  • When Martha tries to cheer up Lois after her first fight with Clark she says after forty years of marriage I can spot a fight coming. In "Toy Story" they visit Clark to celebrate their 35th Anniversary, Lois says lets see we have 35 and half years to catch up to you. []
  • Lois: (after Clark complains that she is too controlling as the new editor) You know what I think? I think you have a real problem with the fact that I'm the one in the family wearing the tights. Pants, I mean pants! []
  • (zapping Superman with the molecular disintegrator)
    Eric Press: Totally cool. I wonder if there's a video game in this. []
  • Eric: Well, come on, you wouldn't kill your own brother. Would you?
    Ethan: You remember Sunday School, Cain and Abel? (Turns on molecular disintegrator on his brother) I always liked Cain. Sit down.
    Eric: This sucks! []

  • Perry: I love the smell of ink in the morning.

    This is a reference to the 1979 film Apocalypse Now, in which Robert Duvall says "I love the smell of napalm in the morning." []
  • Ethan: Like Brutus and Boothe and Oswald who came before us, the names Eric and Ethan Press will live in infamy!

    Ethan is listing famous murders: Marcus Julius Brutus was the leader of the assassination conspiracy that killed the Roman Emperor Julius Caesar; John Wilkes Booth shot U.S. President Abraham Lincoln in Ford's Theatre on April 14, 1865; and Lee Harvey Oswald shot U.S. President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. []
