It's always a good sign for me when I barely know where to start my review, because there are so many things that I loved.

Chloe -- I don't think I've ever enjoyed her as much as I did in this episode. I love that she smiled, but more importantly, for the first time I really felt that she actually loves what she does. The hacker competition with Stuart was absolutely hilarious and entertaining.

"Talk to the hand."
"Hello hand."




"Okay....now you made me angry."
[cracks neck]


That was bad ass and I loved it. And smart move trying to pull Stuart over to the "dark side" and turn him against Tess. God knows I've been annoyed with Chloe a lot over the past few months, but she truly kicked some serious ass tonight. I also didn't get the usual 'mothering' vibe from Chloe tonight with Clark. She offered advice when necessary but otherwise she let him do his own thing, and I liked seeing them laugh together. It was great. And I loved that she made Clark see that he doesn't always need to put his own happiness on hold for other people, and that it's okay to be selfish every once in a while. Especially when you dedicate a huge part of your life to other people's happiness and safety. Clark deserves to be happy, too. He's supposed to be the ultimate symbol of hope, he needs to experience some happiness to be that person.

Oliver -- The Mia thing came out of the blue and it did feel that she was his charity project in a way, but I get what the writers wanted to accomplish. I liked seeing Ollie smile and I like that he's finally back on track. I missed happy Ollie.

Lois/Ollie -- They've always had one of the most mature relationships and I'm glad they're staying true to that. I'm glad that it wasn't overly dramatic. It was very real and bittersweet. I love that Lois didn't play mindgames with Ollie and was just completely honest with him: she loves him as a friend, but her heart belongs to Clark now. End of story.

Oliver: A toast?
Lois: Ha. Let's not.


Erica is the queen of line delivery. She cracked me up with this one.

Natutally I saved the best for last:

Lois/Clark

Good Morning Metropolis was comedy gold.

Clark: I bought a new tie!
Lois: Well I bought a whole new outfit!
Clark: Yeah, you look great.
Lois: [beat] Don't do that!
Clark: Do what?!
Lois: Don't you dare reassure me right now!




Producer: Uh, actually, we want you both.
Clark: I'm sorry?


I wish they'd let Tom do funny stuff more often. His comedic timing is spot on. The way he said it was hilarious. I love how Lois just smiles at him when the producer says it's either both of them or none of them. Like, "Don't even DARE saying no."

Clark: Favorite drinks? You have "bubbly". Yeah, if it comes in a six-pack.
Lois: [checks him out] I do like a six-pack.




Clark: Look, there are a lot of good things about you that would attract a lot of great guys.
Lois: Really? Like what?
Clark: ......well, you're Lois.
Lois: [stares] Thanks, Clark. I already filled out my name.


I love that Clark's only way of describing Lois is saying that she's Lois. Damn right she is! She's an original!

Lois: If you can't take the heat, sister, get out of the café.
Clark: [adjusts his earwig] Sorry I have this really annoying ringing in my ear.


And instead of being offended, Lois actually chuckles. I love them.

Lois: Do I detect a note of jealousy from the notoriously nice Clark Kent? Careful my date doesn't hear you. He might just have to take you down.
Clark: I'd like to see him try. [sips coffee]


I love manly Clark!

Lois: You know what they say...all is fair in love and war.
Clark: And what's it gonna be for us, Lois? Love or war?
Lois: Sounds like you're asking me out on another date.
Clark: If I was.....would you say yes?


Again, I love bold Clark. This is nothing like the little mopey boy from the earlier seasons who sometimes acted almost afraid of women.

And the final scene....

I can't even begin to describe how perfect that scene was. I admit that all the previous kisses we got between Lois and Clark -- the RedK ones, the love potion stuff, the Green Arrow one -- they were....okay, but that was it. I was worried about their first kiss and how it'd look. But oh my gosh. Tom and Erica blew me away. They were really saving the proper kisses for when they'd finally mean something. That kiss was everything: hot, sweet, romantic, passionate, emotional -- all of it. Erica wasn't talking BS when she promised us a hot first kiss. And I just wanna hug her to death for stopping that kiss in Infamous from happening. It would've been such a letdown. Their first kiss needed to be about them and it so needed to be mutual. And boy it was. The lighting was so warm and amazing. The score was out of this world. Major kudos to Louis Febre. I love that Clark just kept wanting to talk to her and she just wouldn't shut up, so he just grabbed her and kissed her. She was so stunned, but once she actually realized what was happening she kissed him back with all she had. Just absolute perfection and I love that the kiss didn't end.

Also, I love that the kiss wasn't over-the-top, meaning I'm glad they weren't swallowing each other's tongues. It's still a TV kiss and it needs to look beautiful. I hate it when actors practically eat each other's faces. It just looks really weird and not pretty anymore IMO. This kiss was JUST right. It was open mouthed (and very much so), but they didn't look like they were trying to swallow a plate either. It was absolutely perfect.

It's ironic that Henderson & Whitehead wrote this. Months ago they made me want to punch them in the face, now they made me want to kiss them both. There's justice after all.

Honestly, I love Clark's stare at Lois before he kissed her. He truly thought about the consequences of the kiss and he actually realized that he could not live without showing her his feelings. I'm glad to see that Clark was mature enough to have though through and decided to give them a chance.

Their kiss reminds me of that:

Wow. Seriously, this episode was all kind of amazing. I'm seriously blown away. It's one of the most exciting episode of a tv show I have ever seen . I can't even start to explain how I love Clois . As a Lollie shipper, I was both glad and crushed for Ollie. Poor guy . But well, I'm 100% Clois so in the end I'm still quite happy .

It was just such a unique thing for Clark to do! He's never just gone up to a girl he's liked before (when he hasn't been in a relationship with her) and kissed her unless he was under the influence of Red K or something...our boy has really grown up.

ETA: Here's my review:

Wow what an episode...I absolutely LOVED it and it’s not just because of the Clois...but let’s get on with this review, shall we?

Tess/Zod: These two have incredible chemistry together. Honestly they are just...wow. Let’s start with Tess...I love how she walks into the scene wearing that smoking dress and tells Stuart to fix the problem or he’ll be terminated. And after his dealings with Tess he needs clarification if “terminated” means fired or killed...I love it. Then in a scene reminiscent of the L&C:TNAOS Pilot episode, she shows her shareholders a model of the building she’s working on that is going to change the world. She’s all proud of herself and confident, until she sees Zod. Her reaction when she sees him is great. She’s visibly shocked...but she still keeps her cool. Then when Zod questions her about the Blue, she lies with ease and gives nothing away, but Zod’s not buying what she’s selling. She wants to be an equal partner with him, but Zod’s all “Oh hell no. No human will ever be on equal footing with a Kandorian,” and he leaves his minion to get info out of Tess or kill her. This does not fly with Tess. She wants respect dammit! And I believe she gets it when she sends Zod that dogtag and lets him know his man is dead and gives him a coffee toast. Bad ass. Question though: How exactly did she take him down? The guy is like two times her size and I doubt she would have been able to run away and get a gun...

Now for Zod. Oh Zod how I missed you in all your sexy evil glory. I love how he shows up unexpectedly and commands everyone’s attention. Nice attention to detail there with the comics reference to RAO. I also liked the mention of harnessing the sun’s powers because we all know exactly why he wants the sun’s powers and him calling Tess their savior. Zod then tries to get Tess to tell him who the Blur is when they’re alone and she puts on the naive act, but he doesn’t believe, but he’s like “Okay, I’ll play your game” and he lets her know how he knows that she knows who the Blur is (man that’s a mouthful...I just got Friends flashbacks, “They don’t know that we know that they know that we know...”) Um yeah so anyways, Zod gets tired of talking to Tess’ back and pokes her in the side or in the butt..can’t be sure where, and she kind of looks at him like “You did not just do that.” I really hope that was an unscripted moment that Callum came up with, because I just can’t see them writing it in the script that Zod should poke Tess in the behind. We then find out that Zod has one of his men acting as Tess’ bodyguard so that he can get whatever info out of her that he can. He’s so sure that his man will get the info he needs that he’s astonished and infuriated when he finds out that Tess bested him. The rage in his face at the cafe is just perfect. I can’t wait to see this storyline advance next week.

Chloe: I’m really impressed with Chloe and for the first time in a lonnng time I have zero complaints about her. It was such a refreshing change to see her happy and smiling and teasing Clark again. It looks like their relationship is starting to get back on track. I love her smarts in this episode and how she suggests that Clark look a little closer to home for the Kandorians and tells him to let her take care of it for now, since he’s done all he can do at the moment. Her face off with Stuart was great! Stuart kind of looked like a mini-Davis to me but I digress...yeah I love how she’s determined to get into Tess’ system and she’s all, “Okay now you’re just making me mad” then she cracks her neck and gets down to work. And then when she finally gets through to the last firewall and sees Stuart’s mocking message about how her fingers must be all cramped up and she looks down at her fingers, I laughed at that. Hee very cute. I also love how she’s all, “Hello hand” when Stuart tells her to talk to the hand. Her support of Clark in this ep is also great and I’m really glad that she tells Clark to just go for what he wants and that it’s okay to think about what he wants from time to time. Chloe’s last scene when she meets up with Stuart, I get the sense that he’s like, “Whoa...so you’re telling me that a hot girl was the hacker the whole time?” and you can tell that he’s really impressed with her. It’ll be interesting to see their relationship develop and what’s in store for them, not that it looks like they’ll be working together.

Mia: Was it just me or did she look like a brunette Kristen Bell? Having said that, I can’t say I’m a big fan of her character. Her fighting skills are awesome and I like her first scene in the ring, but after that she got a bit grating for me. I did like her response to seeing the clothes Ollie got her, until I saw her reaction to Ollie giving her his car keys. Uh oh. She naively believes that giving her pimp Ollie’s car will settle her debt and then she gets Ollie and Lois in trouble when she takes her pimp to where they are. I liked it that she kicked the gun out of his hand, but for crying out loud, we’re supposed to believe that this woman is a street fighter! So why the hell was she just standing there when Lois was trying to take the thugs down? Why didn’t she help her before then? Le sigh. Anyways after the pimp takes the gun away from her and knocks her out, she decides to go back to prostitution, probably because she thinks Ollie would not want to help her out anymore. Fortunately for her, Ollie does not give up on people that easily. And on an interesting note, they seemed to be drawing a parallel between Ollie/Mia and Chloe/Stuart at the end by using the same music over their scenes and having them both recruit people to help them/help them out.

Ollie: At first I was kind of like, “Um Ollie’s watching a girl fight because...?” But then upon thinking it over I realized that this does make sense and it is in tune with Ollie’s character. In Justice we found out that Ollie helped Bart, Victor, and AC when they hit low points in their lives so it’s not a far stretch to see Ollie helping out someone else in need. I like how Ollie keeps his temper around Mia and maintains his calm even when she’s making verbal jabs at him or when she’s trying to steal his watch. I think the way they work in her hero name, “Speedy” is clever and makes sense within the context of the scene. Ollie’s recently been through an incredibly hard time and it took his friend’s unending support to get through to him, so Ollie sees someone he can relate to in Mia. He sees a girl in trouble and he sees someone worth saving and I think his willingness to give her a second chance after everthing she put him through is very admirable.

Now on to the Lollie scenes...Ollie really does have all the right things to say doesn’t he? I think that Ollie’s eloquence in expressing his feelings is an important contrast to Clark’s inability to put his feelings for Lois into words but I’ll get into that more later. I love how Lois walks in to his office and finds him shirtless and just continues on with saying what she wants to say. Ollie’s quip about wanting to see Clark teach him how to bake a cake is amusing and it’s kind of sweet that Ollie only wants to focus on the good things about Lois, although we do know that he says all this with the idea that he wants her back. At first when I found out that Ollie was going to revisit his feelings for Lois, I was unsure of how it was going to play out, since I really do love their scene in Bride when they agreed to be really good friends...however I really liked the way they played this. Ollie said in Justice when he ended things with Lois that that would be the moment he’d regret for the rest of his life and we never really got to see him regreting that decision until this season. Given the way they’ve been building on Ollie’s feelings for Lois since Rabid, it makes sense to me that they’d have to actually acknowledge these feelings and have Ollie try to get back together with Lois, before they could close the book on Lollie again.

Ollie deciding to pay off Lois’ date is a pretty smooth move on his part and then he’s so romantic and sweet when he tells her that she’s still in his heart. My heart breaks a little for him, when Lois makes it very clear that she only sees him as a friend, but then I think of Lois in Justice and Siren and I’m glad that he’s finally realizing what he lost. Lois, not wanting to lead Ollie on, tells Ollie the truth as gently as she can, but of course it still hurts for Ollie, because he just put his heart on the line. However, in spite of his hurt, Ollie is very mature about it and says he’s glad that Lois knows what she wants and that he just wants her to be happy. He kisses her on the head and then leaves and takes a deep breathe as he exits the club. When Lois follows after him, being the awesome friend she is, he doesn’t lash out at her for hurting him and tells her that she was chance worth taking and I melt a little. I love their hug and their banter over Mia and then how they both try to protect each other with Lois kicking ass to save Ollie until those goons hold her arms and then Ollie trying to get Lois out of there and shielding her with his body when there’s nowhere left to run. Was it just me or did a bullet graze him in the leg? Anyways, I loved all of his scenes with Lois and their relationship continues to be my second favourite relationship on the show.

Clark/Lois/Clois To avoid unnesscessary (sp?) overlap this week, I’m just going to lump these three into one category (also hopefully this means that this review will be shorter ) Oh Tom Welling and Erica Durance, you two are comedic geniuses. Seriously their timing is impeccable. I like how Clark goes to an audition for Lois and then just sits there not really knowing what to do and sitting pretty looking at the camera. It’s okay, Clark, I’d be perfectly content to just sit and watch you smile at a camera for an hour. He accidentally says, “A little less brighter” when he’s supposed to say, “A little bit brighter” which of course invokes the wrath of Lane. I think Lois is probably still a bit frustrated that Clark hasn’t asked her out again yet, so she channels some of that frustration into her conversation with Clark about the audition when she says that he’s slow and steady and thinks he knows what’s best and that he could be a bit more passionate. I also think that Clark doesn’t know that he can ask Lois out again yet, since he lets her know that he’s only doing this for her and that he’s working hard to get that second date. I really like that Clark knows that Lois is upset with him, but he’s not grovelling at her feet and constantly apologizing. Clark says he bought a new tie for the interview in the cutest way and Lois is like, “I bought a new outfit”. Clark tells her she looks great and I love seeing Clark openly compliment Lois on how she looks. I believe that’s a first for them. In Spirit, ]Identity, and Bride we had Clark stammer and gulp and look visibly impressed, but he never verbally complimented her. We’ve finally reached a point in their relationship where Clark is comfortable and confident enough in his feelings for Lois to let her know that he likes her, he wants more than friendship, and he finds her very attractive. Hee. Anyways, the producer, who watches them during their whole exchange, lets them know they’ve got the job and Lois hugs Clark in her excitement. He’s all smiles and says, “Guess this means you forgive me.” Lois tells him she won’t forget him when she goes national and Durance gives the cutest smile and rests her head on her arm. The producer then tells them it’s a package deal and Clark’s like, “I’m sorry” and again he’s so hot and cute at the same time that I’m amazed Lois hasn’t jumped him already. The producer comments on their great chem and compares them to “Hepburn and Tracy and Regis and Kelly”. Lois covers Clark’s hands with her own and gives him a look that says, “Do this or suffer the wrath of Mad Dog Lane”. Clark smiles at her than breathes in deeply and surrenders to the knowledge that he’s going to do this if he wants to get back in Lois’ good graces.

In their first DP scene together, Clark casually drops the forms on Lois’ desk while she’s busy working on her online profile. I like how in the scene prior to this we have Clark openly admitting that he does care for Lois. Clark says he did his profile in 10 minutes and I like Lois’ quip that that’s the only 10 he’s going to get. Clark decides to check out her profile and he comments on her love of six packs, then she checks out his six pack and agrees. I love how Lois has to check out Clark even when he’s fully clothed, but she sees Ollie shirtless and doesn’t even blink. Clark shows just how well he knows Lois and comments on her love for monster trucks and tells her that there are a lot of great things about her that would attract a lot of great guys. Compare this to Arrow when he told Ollie that it was nice that Lois found someone who was willing to overlook her personality. I think this scene also shows Lois’ insecurities about herself and how people see her. She feels like she can’t completely be herself, because that’s not what people want to see, so she puts up this wall and puts on a facade to hide herself from the world. This episode gives us a bit more insight into Lois’ character and shows just how hard it is for someone to get close enough to Lois to see the real her...but I digress. So yeah, Lois asks him, “Like what?” and Clark struggles to come up with answer, leaving Lois less than impressed. This goes back to what I said before about Clark’s inability to put his feelings for Lois into words, while Ollie has no problem doing that whatsoever. I think Ollie’s taken to viewing Lois through rose-coloured glasses, whereas Clark sees Lois for who she really is. She’s “Lois” to him and that’s enough to describe who she is and what he likes about her. He likes her because of who she is and it’s hard for him to pinpoint one or just a few qualities of hers that he likes, because he likes everything about her...both the good and the bad. However, Lois’ reaction to Clark’s verbal blunder, makes Clark realize that he goofed and he leaves her to fill out the rest of her profile looking kind of frustrated with himself.

The next Clois scene has Clark being all kinds of cute again as he struggles with his earpiece and Lois chatters on in his ear. We have a nice callback to “Lois’ Rules of Reporting” (which I’d like to see again btw...”pretty please”) and Lois mentions Clark’s first day at the Planet. Clark asks her if he’s going to hear about her rules for online dating and she says there’s only one rule for dating: “Show up”. Of course this prompts her to bring up the missed date again and Clark asks her if they can talk about this some other time. I understand the references to the missed monster truck dates and I like her delivery of the lines so they’re less accusatory and more gentle teasing, but I still think the mentions were a bit of overkill. Having said that, Lois then teases Clark about his online profile...until she sees Clark’s date: Catherine “Cat” Grant, a very attractive, intelligent blonde woman who kind of looks like a cross between Laura Vandervoort and Heather Locklear. I have to say I really liked this actress and her version of Cat...I’m sure she was just playing up the innocent act to get the job. Actually I liked her more in her one and a half minute of screentime than I liked Mia in all her 10 minutes of screentime. Anywho, the producer encourages Lois to keep giving sarcastic comments while Clark mentions a ringing in his ear and Lois laughs at the insult. I love how these two can trade quips and sarcastic barbs without offending each other. Lois is insanely jealous of Clark’s success with his date and of Clark’s date in general so she goes to Ollie for some advice.

Lois’ date is up next and now she has Clark watching and listening in on her date. She asks for something stronger than water and Clark says she really shouldn’t be drinking anything. She says he sounds like her mother on prom night and asks him how she looks. He tells her, “If this were a prom you’d be crowned queen...your date’s a lucky man.” Lois is all kinds of giddy by his compliment so she smiles and looks down at her hands for a moment before responding, “Do I detect a note of jealousy from the notoriously nice Clark Kent? Careful my date doesn’t hear you. He might just have to take you down.” Clark is amused, “I’d like to see him try.” Lois probably finds Clark’s confidence incredibly hot (I know I do) but she keeps her cool and says, “You know what they say, all’s fair in love and war.” Clark asks her, “What’s it going to be for us, Lois? Love or war?” Okay he did not just say that! That line was so freaking sexy. He’s basically telling her that he loves her and he’s letting her decide the way things will go between them. Also compare his comment on her date being a lucky guy to him asking who “the unlucky guy” was in Identity. Lois is impressed by Clark’s boldness and says it sounds like he’s asking her on another date. Clark takes this as his green light and asks, “If I was...would you say yes?” Lois softly tells him that she’ll tell him what she’d say and he waits with bated breath and eyebrows raised until Lois turns her head to the door and realizes that Ollie’s her blind date, or to be precise that Ollie is now her blind date after her paid her blind date to go away. Lois is incredibly nervous and Clark is definitely not happy with this recent development. He was just making progress with Lois and in comes Ollie intent on sweeping Lois off her feet. Durance’s delivery of “My blind date is with you?” and her, “Hee. Let’s not” as she downs half a glass of champagne in one gulp is hilarious. Lois decides to go along with the date thing for the ratings and Clark looks a bit relieved until he hears Ollie talk about the things he loves about Lois and Lois nervously playing with her hands. Clark’s inner dialogue goes, “Mayday, mayday! Abort Queen! Abort!”, while he tries not to freak out and asks Lois what’s going on. Ollie tells her that she’s still in his heart and Lois says, “Cheque please” and drags Ollie out of there. Clark calls, “Lois, Lois!” but she turns off her earpiece right after she says, “Sorry, Clark.” Clark takes his earpiece out looking shell shocked.

I’ve already covered this Lollie scene, so I’ll just move on to Clark seeing that fabulous cardboard cutout (I want it!) and his obvious disappointment about what happened with Lois and Ollie. He had high hopes for them too and now he thinks that he’s lost his chance with her. His superhearing picks up the sound of gunshots and Lois and Ollie in trouble so he speeds to their rescue. He saves Ollie by stopping a bullet right before it hits him between the eyes in a very nice Superman Returns homage. He then glares at Ollie like, “I may have saved your life, but I don’t have to like you right now. You put Lois in danger AGAIN and by the way get your paws off of my future wife!” He sadly watches from a distance while Lois and Ollie hug in relief that they are both okay and he completely jumps to conclusions and gets the wrong idea. I feel a momentary twinge of sadness for Clark but then I think of Lois in Bride and Infamous and the moment passes. Clark considers giving up, because he hasn’t seen Ollie that happy in quite some time, but Chloe tells him that he sometimes has to go for what he wants...and what he wants is Lois. I think the wording of this is significant since, Ollie did mention in the previous scene that he’s happy that Lois knows what she wants. Lois and Clark both want each other, they just need to finally do something about it.

Clark decides to man up, stop moping and take a risk. In Metallo, he took a physical risk when he went up against Corbin to save Lois knowing that he could die, but here he takes a great emotional risk when he decides to kiss Lois. Clark clearly thinks that he’s lost his chance with Lois and one can’t blame him for that, but he decides that he’s not going down without a fight. Lois isn’t spoken for yet, so he tries to get her attention and keeps saying her name while she rambles on and on. Finally, he can’t take it anymore, so he grabs her by the shoulders and plants one on her. Lois is stunned and is like, “OMG...is this really happening? Is Clark Kent kissing me?”, before she starts to respond and completely loses herself in the kiss...and what a kiss it is. It’s incredibly passionate, and meaningful, and romantic and combined with the camera angles, the lighting, and the music....it’s perfect. Wowza. This moment is huge for me, because really when have we ever seen Clark just go up and kiss a girl he likes before? I mean when he hasn’t been high on Red K or when he hasn’t already been in a relationship with her? It took them a hell of a long time to get to this point (5 years, 1 month and 9 days) but it was absolutely, positively 100% worth the wait. I’m so very glad that they didn’t get together between S4-S7 because Clark had a lot of growing up to do back then and he wouldn’t have been able to handle her...I think the producers and Cassidy even mention that in the Identity commentary. Clark needed his growing up period during S8 before he was even able to think about Lois romantically and what being in a relationship with her would mean. S9 is the perfect time to explore them romantically, because they’re finally just a step away from who they’re supposed to be. They’ve both grown up and they’re both ready for each other. They’ve become the legendary Lois and Clark as individual characters and now they’re both ready to take on the legendary Lois & Clark relationship. THIS is why I’ve stuck with the show for so long even when it nearly drove me batshiz crazy. THIS is why Lois & Clark are perfect for each other regardless of the fact that they’re cannon. THIS is why the chemistry between these two characters and actors is un-freaking-deniable. The Hydro and Crimson kisses were pretty tame I’ll admit, but THIS kiss? Holy hotness Batman! Just look at what Tom and Erica can do when they’re allowed to fully explore their chemistry! Thank you PTB, thank you H&W, thank you Michael Rohl, but more importantly, thank you Tom and Erica for giving this relationship the respect it deserves and for putting the integrity of your characters and their relationship above everything else.

I adored this episode... great one-liners, appearances by all the characters, an incredibly ending...what more could a girl ask for? Next week: The search for the lost city of Kandor begins (again)!

Not my review yet but I wanted to comment some of the parts of your review Rach!

I totally think Tez and Zod have great chemistry too Rach . And I agree about Chloe, I genuinely loved her first scene with Clark. I loved her laugh when she was making fun of him presenting a morning tv show .

I still wonder how come Ollie could not put a shirt on in his first scene with Lois . It's like the producers are doing it on purpose to tease us .

I will continue reading your review Rach and post mine later. I seriously need to watch the episode again. Maybe I will just post my fav lines then cuz as always you summed up the episode pretty well .

One thing though, Clois haters can't blame the writters anymore. They did not rush their relationship, there has been a clear evolution from the beginning of season 4 till now!
