She claims she has a story that will get Stern to hire them back, and notes that Clark doesn't appear to be worried. Clark tries to calm her down, but Lois says that they should take a break. As he starts to respond, Martha Kent comes into the house. When she wonders why he's there during the day, Clark lies and claims that he's working at home.

Lois and Clark are both surprised when the fourth person, Martha's new boyfriend, reporter Perry White, comes inside...Read the full recap
