Battleground Earth

**Battleground Earth** is the second episode of the fourth season.

It was the final part of a four-part story of the Kryptonian Battle.

## Plot

The world's military gives Superman just 48 hours to defeat Lord Nor, or they'll take on the "wacko Martian" themselves.

## Plot Summary

After surrendering, Clark is charged by Lord Nor for treason for not doing his destined duty, abandoning his people and committing adultery by marrying Lois (an Earth woman). He shows the Kryptonian council holograms and recordings as evidence. As a result, Clark is taken away to be disintegrated into matter and be scattered across the galaxy.

However, right afterwards, a messenger tells Nor that Metropolis refuses to surrender. In punishment, Nor vaporizes him with heat vision and orders Metropolis destroyed, thus revealing his true intentions and character to the council head, Lord Trey. At this point, Ching points out to Trey that Kal-El's sentence is illegal since he was never informed of his full rights; namely, the Right of Challenge, an ancient and obscure law allowing trial by combat for nobility. The desperate Trey throws his full weight to Kal-El's side. After communicating with Zara, Nor accepts the challenge.

Superman and Nor meet in Metropolis in front of the Daily Planet in an empty alley. Lois finds out that the corrupt Colonel Cash of the United States military has stolen a sample of Kryptonite from Star Labs and plans to use it as gas to kill Lord Nor while using the Man of Steel as bait which would kill him as well.

Lois goes outside to warn Superman about the gas as he overpowers Nor and wins the duel.

Afterwards Nor's men suddenly appear to fight Superman. The gas is fired, killing Nor and his men, but Superman survives due to being unconscious and the other Kryptonians absorbing most of the gas. Colonel Cash is then jailed.

Clark decides to stay on Earth and the Kryptonians leave for New Krypton with Zara as their ruler and Ching as her husband.

Later Clark and Lois decide that they should marry for real and this time not let anything stand in their way.

Double Jeopardy

**Double Jeopardy** is the sixteenth episode of the third season.

It was the second part of a five part story involving a fake wedding, clones and amnesia.

## Plot

Send in the clones. While Lex Luthor woos the real Lois Lane, Clark spends his wedding night with her clone.

## Plot Summary

Starting from where the previous episode left off, Lois' clone pretends she is tired to avoid marriage consummation with Clark, leaving him confused and disappointed.

Clark realizes that Lois is acting out of character but he does not know what is going on.

At the same time, Lex Luthor has kidnapped the real Lois and plans to leave the town with her. He also tells her that Clark has married the clone and until he notices, the two of them will be far away in a windowless fortress in the Alps.

When the clone discovers that Clark is Superman, she decides that she wants to be with him, so she makes a decision to kill the real Lois who escapes from Lex but she gets hit by a car and suffers from amnesia.

She believes that she is Wanda Detroit, the main character of a novel she was writing and gets a job at a bar as a singer. With the clone searching for her to kill her, Lex offers a unwilling Clark his help to find Lois.

When Lex hears where Lois is and that she believes she is Wanda, he pretends to be Kent (a man from the book that Wanda wants but believes she cannot have) and lies to her about who Clark is and what to tell him so the two of them can be together. When Clark finds her, Lois tells him that she never loved him and that she loves Lex and wants to be with him. Clark angrily promises Lex that he will do anything to bring Lois back. Lex and Lois then drive off leaving Clark alone with the clone.

## Plot Summary

Clark finally finds the courage to ask Lois out on a date which she accepts after thinking about it for a while. But their plans are ruined when Dr. Gretchen Kelly succeeds in bringing Lex Luthor back from the dead.

As a temporary side effect, Lex loses his hair and is determined to get his fortune back, reclaim Lois Lane and kill Superman. He works with Gretchen and his old personal assistant Nigel to achieve these goals.

When he learns that Rollie Vale (who is in prison following the events of the episode *Metallo*) has Kryptonite in his possession, he visits him in prison and makes a deal with him; his freedom and money in exchange for the Kryptonite.

Lex manages to break Vale out and he also kidnaps Lois to force her to come back to him. Back at Lex's hideout, Lex gives the Kryptonite to Nigel to keep it safe, but Nigel betrays Lex by stealing it, shooting a bolt at him and killing Rollie before escaping. Gretchen is accidentally killed too during a scuffle and an argument with Lex after she pushes Lois into a rat pit.

Meanwhile, Lois and Clark have to investigate a strange phenomenon happening in Metropolis that makes people act peculiar and whenever this occurs Lois' memories begin to awaken. Their investigation leads them to Bad Brain's younger brother, Herkimer, who is willing to do anything to make his mother love him and be proud of him for she sees him harshly as weak, spineless and not willing to do the horrid things his brother did. He created a machine that produces electromagnetic waves that affect people's behaviour making them into mindless zombies.

While getting saved by Superman at Bad Brain's mother's house, the last shock of waves from the machine stirs up Lois' memories completely of her relationship to Clark, and the two of them get back together with Lois giving Deter a farewell punch in the face for tricking her, while Herkimer and his mother are arrested.

The nominations for the Kerth Awards are about to be announced and Lois is sure that she will be nominated again since she has been every time for the last three years and won. When Clark gets nominated instead of her, she gets jealous and insecure, something that affects their investigation about a new villain in town who uses sound waves as a weapon. The sound wave puts people to sleep while he is able to rob banks and jewellery stores.

Lois and Clark disagree on who the suspect might be, since Lois believes it is Lenny Stoke while Clark believes it is Dr. Derek Camden. The truth is somewhere in between since Stoke used Camden's knowledge to create the device for the sound waves, a device that can also produce a sound that affects Superman, something that makes it difficult for Superman to stop him.

Eventually, Superman stops Stoke and sends him in prison, while Clark wins the Kerth Award. Lois is proud of her partner but she also warns him that the next time he forces her to be his date on a night where he gets awarded she will tear him apart, making both of them laugh.
