So the episode starts with Lois getting out of a taxi in the rain and Clark showing up only to be berated for not arriving to pick her up on time. He is then encountered by Linda Lake wonderfully played by Tori Spelling. She tells him that she plans on exposing his secret if he doesn’t give her all his exclusives. So Clark decides it is a good idea to beat her to it. He goes to work the next day and tells Lois his secret. I gotta say this was one of my favorite scenes, I love how they played this out, with Clark lifting the desk and then catching Lois in his arms, it was classic. So Lois writes the story and then Clark becomes ultra famous and everyone wants his autograph or a picture or to catch a glimpse of the Red/Blue Blur.
Of course this doesn’t last for long, Linda Lake goes on national television stating that Clark is the first in an alien invasion sent to earth and that he is responsible for the murder of Lex Luthor. Well then all hell breaks loose and we get to see another Super moment, Clark taking a barrage of gunfire without flinching. SWEET!
So Clark decides that maybe telling the world who he Is wasn’t his best idea and is trying to figure out how he can reverse it when he remembers that lovely little gift he got from the Legion. I was really surprised to see that they actually used the ring again. I thought it was an awesome twist and if they had to fake us out with this story then the ring was an awesome way to do it. Of course Linda wasn’t going to make it easy for him. She attacks him with Kryptonite and hits Lois.
Meanwhile Chloe runs into Davis and happens to inform him that Clark is the other Kryptonian, this unleashes Doomsday and Chloe attempts to inform Clark of her newfound discovery. She calls Lois because Clark is too busy getting poisoned by Kryptonite to answer his cell. Which brings us back to the barn where Lois has come to and attacks Linda, kicking her ass quite easily I might add. So with Linda taken care of she and Clark talk about what is going to happen when he changes the past. This is where we see another truly awesome moment. We get to see that Lois has obviously fallen for Clark and that Clark has really begun to fall for her too. She feels as if she isn’t special enough to know his secret and he tells her that the reason he won’ tell her is because she is too special and he doesn’t want to put her in danger. Then Lois listens to her message and is about to tell Clark about Davis. But Clark thinking that if he listens he may change his mind puts the ring on and goes to the past before she can finish.
So Clark travels to the past when Linda is writing her article to expose Clark. He confronts her with an article of his own and then proceeds to zap the hell out of her with the electrical line. Peace Out Biotch! So then we shoot to Clark arriving at the Planet with Lois, who he remembered to pick up this time. Lois brings up the kiss they almost had at the wedding and says if you want to talk meet me tonight for coffee if not then I understand. So we also get to see Davis suffocate Linda which was a nice treat. But the last real treat was at the end where Lois was sitting at the coffee place waiting for Clark. Clark is across the street watching Lois and decides that after his experience he doesn’t think it is a good idea to get too close to Lois because he will just end up in the same position he was in with Lana in the early seasons. So he texts Lois to tell her is too busy to show up and she very sadly texts him back saying that she couldn’t make it anyway. Of course he knows that is a lie which basically tells him that she cares for him and doesn’t want to get hurt. And the episode ends. So all in all I think along with “Legion” and “Bulletproof” this was one of the better episodes of the season. I was quite impressed and I can’t wait til next week where it appears the CW will be teasing us with the idea of Clark flying. Keep your fingers crossed people. And let me know what you thought of “Infamous”
