When a boy who can make people lose their memories robs the Talon, Clark goes after him but gets total amnesia. Chloe finds out what happened and has to tutor Clark in the use of his superpowers and make sure he doesn't accidentally reveal his secret. While Clark, Chloe, and Lois try to track down Kevin, Clark takes advantage of his "new life" to ask Lana on a date. And Lex tries to turn Clark's memory loss to his advantage by getting him to reveal the secret of the caves.

(edit)
The beginning reference to the University of Miami is an in-joke to the 1988 Superboy series, which was filmed in Florida (although at University of Central Florida).
(edit)
Music: "Let Me Go" by 3 Doors Down. "24" by Jem, "Satie" by Paco, and "This Is Your Life" by Switchfoot.
(edit)
Erica Durance is billed as Special Guest Star.
(edit)
John Schneider, Annette O'Toole, and John Glover don't appear in this episode. However, there is a deleted scene from this episode featuring John Schneider and Annette O'Toole that was not in the broadcast version.
(edit)
Lois: Trust your gut. Like, what's it say about me?
Clark: We don't like each other very much.
Lois: You're on the right track. Keep it up, Smallville. (edit) Clark: My life is a complete void. How would you feel?
Lois: Oh, pity party. These are fun. (edit) Clark: Who is that?
Chloe: That... is Lana Lang. The love of your life. (edit) Clark: You know, I don't know why I was worried so much about what people think. I don't know why I let it rule my life. I mean, you understood.
Chloe: Yeah, but Clark, unfortunately, some people in Smallville aren't as progressive as your post-amnesia tour guide.
Clark: That should be their problem, not mine.
Chloe: Look, I understand how eager you are to throw an impromptu coming out party. I mean, I've only spent the last couple of hours blocking for the man behind the mask and it's not as easy as I thought it would be. But, please, just sleep on it.
Clark: I know, it's just...I mean, how can anyone ever get to know me if I'm never myself?
Chloe: I know it's hard. But I imagine that if you didn't tell people, you must've had a lifetime of reasons for not doing it. That's why we need to get your memory back. (edit) Chloe: (handing Clark a crowbar) Here. Bend this.
Clark: This is metal. I can't bend this.
Chloe: Just like you can't pull a door off its hinges, right? Try it.
(Clark easily bends the crowbar)
Clark: How did I do that?
Chloe: Why did I always picture myself on the other end of this conversation? (edit)
Clark: We don't like each other very much.
Lois: You're on the right track. Keep it up, Smallville. (edit) Clark: My life is a complete void. How would you feel?
Lois: Oh, pity party. These are fun. (edit) Clark: Who is that?
Chloe: That... is Lana Lang. The love of your life. (edit) Clark: You know, I don't know why I was worried so much about what people think. I don't know why I let it rule my life. I mean, you understood.

Durign the flash of Clark's memories when he gets amnesia, you can see a shot of when Lionel is in Clark's body (from "Transference"). But Clark has no memory of what Lionel did in his body, so how could he have memories of the incident? Also we see a memory of Jonathan healing a badly wounded Clark from "Talisman." But Clark is unconscious in that scene, so again he couldn't have memories of Jonathan healing him if he wasn't conscious to see it.
(edit)
Originally Mr. Grady describes the shooting incident as if he took Kevin to Summerholt after Kevin was unable to handle it. Chloe could verify the shooting and the timeframe of the visits to Summerholt, so Mr. Grady has no reason to lie. But...if Mr. Grady shot Dylan himself, then he would have had to wipe Kevin's memories immediately to avoid being reported to the police.
(edit)
If there was a camera in the lab recording Kevin when his memory was getting fried, why wasn't there a camera recording the same experiment when Chloe was in the chair, and thus picking up at least some of the stuff which Clark did?
(edit)
Although he retains basic motor skills, language, etc., Clark can't remember huge chunks of his life, inclding the location of his home and the Talon. But he knows where the location of Audrey Clearing is - how'd he remember that?
(edit)
Why does Clark just stare at the cows after running past Kevin? He knew about where the motorcycle is and he has...well, superspeed. Turn around and run back, but don't gaze at the bovines.
(edit)
Lana: What's with the Cheshire Cat routine?
Referencing the Lewis Carroll creation from Alice in Wonderland - an enigmatic cat that disappears leaving only his smile. (edit)
