Episode Goofs
When Lex enters the Beanery, Phelan is playing pinball. He turns to face Lex, his hands empty. There's a quick camera cut to Lex's face, and then back to Phelan, who now is near-instantly holding a cup of coffee.
As Phelan talks to Lex at the Beanery, the score on the pinball machine behind him changes between camera cuts, and shows at least three different numbers.
When Clark enters the Torch office to talk to Lana, he doesn't have a jacket. However, when he leaves, he picks up a jacket and carries it out with him.
