Just after Jonathan has been arrested, Clark walks into the house and punches a wooden beam. If you look closely, you can see the crack in it where it has already been broken. edit »
In the museum scene near the end, Clark tells Phelan that his fingerprints are all over the breastplate. But wouldn't Clark's fingerprints be all over the bars around the case holding the breastplate, which he pulled apart? Wouldn't they also be all over the alarm panel that Clark had to break into to disable the alarm system? edit »
When Clark goes to see Lana at the Torch he is not wearing a jacket; however, when he leaves he picks up a jacket on the way out. edit »
How was Clark's dad finally released? The guy that set him up was dead, are we supposed to assume that it somehow got cleared up because of that? edit »

A short story in "Smallville #4" takes place towards Clark and Sam's arrival to the museum near the end of the episode.
