Episode Summary
Lois is still in love with Deter, and even with her return to the Daily Planet, he doesn't tell her anything about her relationship with Clark. Meanwhile, Bad Brain Johnson's little brother Herkimer has created a machine that makes people obey his commands, and hopes to use it to impress his mother, who considers him greatly inferior to his dead brother. Pushed to the limit by Deter's tactics, Clark finally tells Lois that he loves her. Lois refuses to accept it, and Deter uses her confusion to convince her to run away with him to the south of France. Just as Perry tries to prevent her from leaving with the cad, Herkimer's machine begins to work and Lois remembers her relationship with Superman only. When Deter and Lois try to stop Herkimer with the machine, they suffer effects from the machine, and in this confusion Lois finally remembers the rest of her life, including her love for Clark.moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA- The weapon that Mrs. Johnson picks up to shoot Lois when they are in the basement is the same prop that was used to transfer Superman's powers to Lois in the earlier episode "Ultrawoman". Edit
- Goof: When Max and Lois sneak into Mrs. Johnson's basement, it is clearly at night. When Superman hears Lois shouting for help, he is flying in broad daylight. Edit
- Goofs: When Max tells Lois he wants her to go with him, there is a very visible reflection of the boom-mic in the car window. And when Lois drives off, one can see the reflection of the camera in the window. Edit

Quotes
ADD QUOTES- Clark: Lois, I can't let you go, not this time! Dr Maxwell Deter: Clark, you have no choice in the matter. Clark: Deter, trust me on this. You have no idea who you're talking to! Edit
- Clark: I got to go. Lois: You're always leaving. Clark: And I always come back. Edit
- Superman: Do you really remember everything? Lois: I remember my life before you, when being alone was what I thought I wanted. And I remember my life after you, when I learned loving you was what I really wanted. Edit

Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS- Tommy Smothers Syndrome Dr Deter says that Herkimer has TSS, or Tommy Smothers Syndrome. Tommy Smothers was part of a brothers comedy act "The Smothers Brothers", in which one of the running jokes by Tommy was saying "Mom always loved you best!" to his brother Dick. Edit
- As Herkimer is riding his bicycle down the street, the music playing uses the same tune from the movie The Wizard of Oz, when Mrs Gulch (alter ego of the Wicked Witch of the West) is riding on her bicycle with Toto. Edit
- Charleton Heston: One of the running gags throughout the series is that Charleton Heston is the President of the United States in the alternate universe. In this episode, there are allusions to four movies in which he starred: Clark and Deter argue about which movie has the chariot race (Ben Hur) and which has the parting of the Red Sea (The Ten Commandments). When Lois comments, "But Soylent Green is people, right?", she is referring to the last line of Soylent Green in which the detective played by Charleton Heston finds out the secret of the foodstuff "soylent green" which is supposedly made from soy and lentils. And later on, in the episode, Lois says that she has a recurring dream in which she is being chased through a forest by apes, which is an allusion to the scene near the beginning of Planet of the Apes where the astronauts (including Charleton Heston) are being chased through a forest by apes.
