This is an interesting episode. It seems to be the all-time favorite of fan fiction writers, especially for season two.

I would have to say though that the A-plot had lots of wholes. I am not sure it really made sense that Al Capone reborn could make such an impact.

I also thought it was odd they introduce us to a Superman inpersonator who looks just like him, and never bring that issue up again. There were lots of potential developments there.

It also shows to what extent Lois and Clark was episodic that Lois never brings up to Clark "you let me think you were dead, ahrrg" later on.

I have to second that the ending with Lois bearing her heart and Clark sleeping through it was a let down. I am also not sure they made it believabale that Clark would fall asleep. However I think this was also part of the episodic, do not let the relationship of Lois and Clark actually progress, attitude that the network was pushing on the show creators.
