In-joke: When Lois is stripping, Clark does not recognize her until she removes her glasses - a tip of the hat to Superman being supposedly unrecognizable when he wears glasses as Clark Kent. (edit) Music by: Flashlight Brown (Smallville Vol. 2 Metropolis Mix), Brendan Benson (The Alternative to Love), the Pussycat Dolls ("Don't Cha" from PCD), and Gretchen Wilson (All Jacked Up"). (edit) Jill Teed reprises her role as Captain Sawyer from "Insurgence" and "Exile." Woody Jeffreys previously played a different character, Jack, in the season 2 episode "Witness." (edit) Tom Wopat is listed as Special Guest Star. (edit) Annette O'Toole, John Glover, and Kristin Kreuk don't appear in this episode. (edit)

Lois: (to Mr. Lyon) I don't know what kind of kink you're into, but... you are seriously behind on your Gloria Steinem. (edit) Jonathan: Going back to the city, facing all those reporters takes a lot of guts.
Jack: After facing you, live feeds and bloodthirsty journalists are a walk in the park. (edit) Detective Sawyer: (to Lois and Clark) Some people live above the rules. Guess what? That's life in Metropolis. You want justice... I suggest you stay a little closer to home. (edit) Lois: This scumbag was about to air-cargo me to the honeymoon suite at the "Gropa" Cabana.
Detective Sawyer: I'm glad you're all right. Now, if you will release him, I'm afraid Mr. Lyon is free to go.
Clark: What? You can't just let him walk away.
Lyon: Diplomatic immunity.
Detective Sawyer: As a consulate guest in our country, Mr. Lyon can't be arrested or tried for any crime he commits on our soil. Even murder. I'm sorry, I can't touch him.
Lois: Well, I can. (knees Lyon in the groin) (edit) Chloe: Five hundred grand for a massage with benefits seems like a lot. Do you know anything else?
Clark: Just the bouncer told Detective Sawyer that the guy was the son of some foreign diplomat.
Chloe: Then he'd have diplomatic plates. See, while you were inside checking out the entertainment, I was out in the parking lot taking shots of the license plates of all the cars. (edit)

During the raid in the Windgate club Captain Sawyer cuffed Clark and said that he was under arrest. First of all, police entered this club on grounds of minors being employed there so they had a warrant only for the owners of the club, as Clark is not one of them he was not a suspect and should have been left alone as well as the rest of the clients. Second, to be arrested is to be under suspicion of illegal activity, otherwise police can only detain. Third, as Clark was detained he was not read his Miranda rights and this is a ground for dismissal of the arrest immediately. (edit) While Clark is talking to Senator Jennings in the barn, we can see a bicycle hung near the entrance door. However, when their conversation ends and Senator Jennings leaves the barn, it is no longer there. (edit) When Captain Sawyer declines to arrest Lyon for charges of murder, she states he has diplomatic immunity and he cannot be arrested or tried for any crime on U.S. soil. While it's possible his country's immunity might protect him, typically consuls can be arrested/detained for any crime, especially for felony or following a warrant. (edit) When Lois is talking to the Russian her red, white, and blue bra is showing out of her red dress. When she turns around and starts kicking him, the bra is no longer showing. (edit) Lois is referred to as "underage" -- Lois is at least a year or two older than Clark and Chloe, who, having graduated high school are most likely 18, hence Lois is at least 19 or 20. At this time, the legal age for stripping in Kansas is 19. (edit)

Chloe: You don't have to Tom Sawyer me, we're family.
In the Mark Twain novels, such as Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Huckleberry Finn was best friends with Tom Sawyer. (edit) Lois' Stage Name: Amber Waves
A reference to Julianne Moore's character Maggie in the 1997 movie Boogie Nights. "Amber Waves" is her porn star assumed name. (edit) Chloe: This makes my Halloween Heidi Dirndl costume look tame.
Heidi Dirndl is a reference to the novel and movie Heidi, the story of a young orphan girl. A dirndl is a type of dress that Heidi would have worn, defined as having a tight bodice and full skirt. (edit) Dukes of Hazzard
There are several references to the TV series The Dukes of Hazzard
1) Tom Wopat and John Schneider played the original Duke boys.
2) The senator's name is an in-joke allusion to singer Waylon Jennings, who was the Balladeer on the series.
3) Tom Wopat and John Schneider drive a Blue Dodge Charger, the same make as the General Lee, the car from the series.
4) When Senator Jennings is driving the Charger up to Clark and Mr. Kent, his driving is extremely reminiscent of the same wild driving of the Duke Boys, using sharp turns and skidding and similar camera angles.
5) During the first scene with Jennings and Jonathan, there is faint banjo plucking in the background, similar to that on the series.
6) Lex makes a comment about Senator Jennings being Mr. Kent 's "Good Ol' Boy" which is from the first line of the show's theme.
7) Jennings enters the car through the window, just as Wopat's character Luke Duke did.
8) Jennings talks to Clark about how after 20 years Jonathan still has a knack for the guilt trip - it was 20 years ago that the series ended.
9) Jonathan talks to Jennings about if they let a couple of rough days ruin a friendship of over 25 years that they weren't the good friends they really thought. The series first aired approximately 25-26 ago.
10) Jennings tells old stories to Clark, including one about Jonathan being chased by police in a pursuit through Chickasaw County. The police pursuit was a common plot point in every episode, and Chickasaw County, home to Sheriff Little, was right next door to Hazzard on the show.
11) When Jonathan and Jennings drive away from the farm, the Charger they are driving jumps over the camera, a nod to the stunts of "The Dukes of Hazzard." (edit) Clark: Guess it got caught...
Referencing the first public appearance of the title character in Superman (1978), in which Clark saves Lois (and a pilot) from a falling helicopter that got tangled up in cable on the helipad atop the Daily Planet building. (edit)
