16. Double Jeopardy

Starting from where the previous episode ended, Lois' clone pretends she is tired to avoid having sex with Clark, leaving him confused and disappointed. Clark realizes that Lois is acting weird but he does not know what is going on. At the same time, Lex Luthor ( John Shea ) has the real Lois and plans to leave town with her. He also tells her that Clark married the clone and that by the time he realises, the two of them will be in Lex' windowless fortress in the Alps where she can shout Superman as much as she wants but it will get boring.

The clone discovers that Clark is Superman and decides that she wants to be with him. To be able to do that, she has to kill the real Lois who escapes from Lex but gets hit by a car which causes her to fall and hit her head on a letter box, thus bringing on a bout of amnesia. She believes that she is Wanda Detroit, the main character of a book she was writing and gets a job at a bar as a singer. With the clone searching for her to kill her, Lex offers Clark his help to find the "Real" 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 even if it means going right through Lex to do it, while Lex says that this sounds like a threat and that "his" woman doesn't take kindly to threats. Lex and Lois then drive off leaving Clark alone with the clone.
