After an explosive charge detonates, almost killing the hostages at a Queen Industries factory, Clark discovers that he has the ability to hear people's thoughts. He finds he's been given this ability temporarily to help him connect to people. Meanwhile, the Toyman returns and attempts to seek revenge on Oliver Queen for being framed for the death of Lex Luthor. Oliver, meanwhile, is continuing his own self-destructive patterns and may beat Toyman to the punch.

Episode Quotes |

Chloe: So the question is, how do we know that this isn't just your superhearing on the fritz?
Clark: As loud as Lois is, even she can't speak with her mouth closed.
Chloe: Good point. | Clark: What are you doing here?
Lois: (thinking) Standing in the shadow of six and a half foot of handsome. No, Lois, he doesn't get off that easy. Kick his ass! | Oliver: Speak your mind, Clark.
Clark: I haven't been paying enough attention to everything. There's been danger all around me that I haven't seen... warning signs I haven't noticed... and people in need that I've neglected. I didn't realize how bad things are. I haven't been here for you. I'm sorry.
Oliver: Well, with all due respect, Clark, I'm not sure I'm worth your concern. You know, when I was reading that speech in there, when I decided to, uh... that speech wasn't just a laundry list of all my sins. It was... it was a fact sheet. Ever tell you how old I was when my parents died? Five. I never really knew them very well. Everything about my life is not really mine. It's theirs. I didn't earn it... and it's all a lie. You of all people know what it's like to wear a mask, right? That's all this is--the Queen name. Green Arrow. Masks. And I just realized there's nothing underneath them.
Clark: There is something behind those masks. You're just afraid to face it. You're not running away from who you are. You're running away from who you think you're becoming. But you don't have to face it alone. Just because you've given up on Oliver Qreen doesn't mean I have.
Oliver: Thank you. |

Lois: I think I've gotten so used to carrying the load all by myself... What if I don't have to any more, you know? Clark and Lois, versus the world.
Lois and Clark was a popular 1990s TV series, starring Teri Hatcher and Dean Cain in the titular roles, which focused more on their relationship than on Superman, who was seen often but not the primary focus of the show. Lois says the conjunction in the opposite way from the way most people structure it (i.e., like the TV series), and also backwards from what is typical of her somewhat narcissistic personality. |
