13. Sex, Lies and Videotape

Randy Goode ( Jack Wagner ) is jealous of Superman and wants to destroy his good image so he will be the next one to win the "Man of the Year" award (that Superman had apparently "stolen" from him the year before), and one of his photographers, Samantha ( Downtown Julie Brown ), manages to take pictures of Superman in bed with Lois. On her way to print the pictures, the film is destroyed so she is forced to create a "fake" photograph to give to the press. The "fake" photos go public leading to a huge scandal where Superman has an affair with a married woman and people start to lose their faith in him.

Clark decides to tell the truth of Superman's real identity to prove that Lois never cheated on him knowing that it may lead to disastrous consequences. Lois does everything she can to find out who is behind this before Superman's press conference, and along with Jimmy's help, they manage to gather evidence that the photos are fake. Superman does not reveal his real identity and Goode and Samantha get arrested.
