Storyline

The Daily Planet is raided by people claiming to be from the US government. Lois and Clark are immediately their first targets, as both are connected with Superman. They are interviewed, their notes and computers seized. As it turns out, these men are not who they say at all, their search warrants being fake, but from a secret government branch investigating aliens. Lois and Clark are determined to get to the bottom of this, but for different reasons. This is the chance for Clark to find out where he came from and who he really is.
