This episode did a good job at illustrating why Superman needs the identity of Clark Kent. As Clark, he had relationships that he just couldn’t afford to have as Superman. Had he not had a way to bring Clark back, I have to wonder if he might have revealed his secret identity to Lois eventually in an attempt to get back what he had lost as Clark Kent.
The reactions that everybody had to the news of Clark Kent’s death always makes me a little sad. I think they did a good job at showing just how important Clark was to everybody.
Clark falling asleep at the end when Lois tries to confess her feelings to him was frustrating. That scene always made me wonder how different the rest of the season might have played out had he not fallen asleep.
