well--as a Druid sacrifice! And even if Superman saves her,
it may be too late to save their relationship!

to getting Lois and Clark's romance back on track. This is the
episode that invented "sleep-flying."

way! Then, to make the episode even greater, Lois proposes to
Clark at episode's end--and guess what C.K.'s answer is?

In a scene near the beginning of the episode, Superman
rescues a baby from out of Metropolis Wishing Well. If you watch
closely, you'll notice a plaque that says "Metropolis Wishing
Well: Dedicated 1938 in Loving Memory, Dan Patterson and Craig
