Four kids escape from a school for problem children and hold Metropolis hostage by taking over the television channels and stealing from ATMs. Their super-intelligence is caused by an experimental drug which Lex is behind. Lois gets information from the little sister of one of thekids and gets temporary custody of the older girl, Amy, who was recaptured. But, before the children are found, they tell Clark that they know he is Superman. However, Clark stages something to convince them that he is not. When the drug starts to wear off, Amy tells Lois how the drug works: The kids escaped to get away from the swings from being smart to normal. The other kids kidnap Lex because they know he is behind it, but Superman rescues the kids and Lex, without finding out Lex's secret.

Classic Lines:

1. Lois: Found? You mean stole, don't you?

Clark: Well, I . . .

Lois: You took advantage of a privileged interview situation to grab

potentially incriminating evidence from an unsuspecting subject. Oh, I love that.

2. Clark: I bet you were a cute kid.

Lois: I'm still a cute kid.

3. Kid: Normal is boring.

Superman: Different is worse. I know. Different is never quite fitting in. Never quite blending. Different is wishing you weren't.

4. Lois: I've seen that pig before

However, he gives the largest chunk of it to Jonathan for safekeeping. When Clark tells Perry about the environmental cleanup in Smallville, he sends the pair off, much to Lois' chagrin. As Lois becomes more accustomed to Smallville, the Kents discover that the kryptonite makes Clark sick, and Lois and Clark start to dig into the investigation.

Trask finds Superman's ship, and, because he believes Superman is dangerous, Trask plots to destroy him. Lois and Clark are captured by Trask, who also kidnaps the Kents and Irig. When Clark tells Trask that he is Superman, Trask doesn't believe him because his powers are useless due to the kryptonite. However, after some time away from it, his powers return, and he saves his parents but not before Trask learns his secret. Clark throws the kryptonite away, and he and Trask fight. When Trask tries to shoot Clark, however, the sheriff shoots and kills Trask.

Classic Lines:

1. Clark: I don't know, mom, Lois thinks the cook might be a crossdresser.

Martha: Oh, honey, that's Clark's father. I can't get him to buy a dress for me let alone one for himself.

Lois: I, I was just illustrating a point really.

2. Martha: Now, Lois, you'll be in Clark's room. Clark you'll be on the couch. Unless you two are . . . ?

Lois: No, we're not, not, no, not.

3. Lois: Well, let's see, so far I've been given a glimpse of ritual crop worship, treated as your girlfriend, and I insulted your parents. No, I couldn't have planned this. Mmm, mmm.

4. Martha (mouthing the words): I love her.

5. Smallville person: Oh, with Clark, here, what you see is what you get.

6. Lois: Put it in your mouth and suck on it.

7. Lois: You know, Clark, I don't think I have ever seen you so, I don't know, so relaxed, so sort of just Clark.

Season 1, Episode 10: "Pheromone, My Lovely"

Written by: Deborah Joy Levine

Directed by: Bill D'elia

Original airdate: November 28, 1993

Guest stars: Morgan Fairchild as Miranda;

Tony Jay as Nigel St. John.

To convince Lex of the efficacy of her product and to get revenge for being spurned by him, a scientist, Miranda, who has developed a perfume which releases pheromones, sprays the Planet staff. Lois throws herself at Clark -- the only one who is not affected. Because he cannot take advantage, Clark resists, and, when the perfume wears off, Lois is quite embarrassed. But they are soon investigating what the perfume consists of once they figure out that it was the cause of everyone's hyperromantic behavior. Clark steals some of it and has it analyzed: It makes you more attracted to someone you're already attracted to. Lex falls for Lois, while Miranda plans to spray all of Metropolis. She leads Lois to an airfield and tries to kill her, but Superman saves her and stops Miranda. Then, unable to help himself, Superman pretends to be affected by the spray and tells Lois he loves her. Meanwhile, even when the spray wears off, Lex admits to himself that he is in love with Lois.

Classic Lines:

1. Lex: You were an itch. You've been scratched.

2. Lois: Well, I had fun in high school. Chess club. Math club.

3. Clark: Lois, get a grip!

Lois: Ooh, believe me, I'd love to.

4. Lois: Minute's up, Clark. Come to mama!

5. Clark: Lois, you don't know how many times I've thought about this. Dreamt about this. Well, something like this.

6. Clark: Lois, I can't take it anymore. If you want me, I'm yours.

Lois: Clark, have you lost your mind! (Looking down at her outfit). Or have I lost mine?

7. Lois: That would mean that I found you . . . Clark, you were sprayed, how come you didn't fall for me?

Clark: I guess I'm just not attracted to you, Lois.

Lois: Liar! You are so attracted to me.

Clark: I guess not.

Lois: Guess so.

Clark: Guess not.

Lois: Guess so.

8. Lois: But you're not yourself. I couldn't take advantage of the situation. Oh, what the heck! (She kisses Superman).

9. Lex: I may throw up.

10. Lex: No, Nigel, something terrible's happened. Something catastrophic. * * * Not like you or any other normal person, perhaps, but, in my own strange, perverted way, I have succumbed. I've fallen in love, hopelessly, eternally. I'm in love with Lois Lane. * * * I'm doomed.

11. Clark: Your problem, Lois, is that you can't admit your true feelings.

Lois: That's ridiculous. Alright, maybe, somewhere very incredibly deep inside me is some eensy, weensy, microcosmic, although highly unlikely, possibility that I feel some sort of unmotivated, completely unrealistic attraction to you.

12. Lois: Every woman in love thinks their man looks like Superman
