Quotes

Chloe Sullivan: [as Lois] Open the door, Clark.
Clark Kent: Lois, it's locked! We need a key!
Chloe Sullivan: Open the damn door, Clark.
Clark Kent: Lois, if you don't...
[Clark pulls at the door handle and it breaks off]
Chloe Sullivan: *Now* do you believe me?
Clark Kent: [looking at broken handle] What I believe is that this door needs better maintenance. Look at the rust in here. No wonder it just pulled off like that.
Chloe Sullivan: Okay.
Clark Kent: Now, we're going to be stuck up here...
Chloe Sullivan: How about this? Listen. Really listen. What do you hear?

User Reviews

Smallville Returns Strong

*very minor spoilers* After the travesty that was "Infamous" the introduction of Zatanna helped to restore my faith in the future of the series. The plot line was interesting, the gimmick (Chloe being turned into Lois, at least on the outside) was entertaining, and watching Clark try to forget his powers and Chloe/Lois badgering him about it was funny.

Oh, and the casting of Serinda Swan as Zatanna was perfect, and the costume designers were at the top of their game. Throughout the episode you're never quite sure whether she's going to end up a good guy or a villain, which is how it should be. Zatanna always did manage to walk the line, though when push came to shove, she made the right decision.

Oh, and any hardcore Superman/Justice League fans will absolutely cheer at the very end of the episode, but I won't ruin it for you here.
