In this first-season treasure, we're introduced to the cutest character to ever appear on the show (except for maybe baby Clark in Tempus Fugitive) -- iiiit's Jack!

We're talking about S1E16, Foundling!

Remember that Kryptonian globe Clark found way back in Strange Visitor? It starts to glow and chatter, and -- whoops -- suddenly it's gone. It soon falls into the hands of Lex Luthor, who, let's face it, doesn't need more stuff! I don't care how many underground lairs he has! But -- fear not, because when the stakes are high, that globe can fly!

In other news, L&C get nominated for their first joint award, Jimmy and Cat pore over their family trees, and Perry gets called Gramps -- which we're sure in no way influences any of his actions two episodes from now. 

Our Special Feature this week is: All About Tracy Scoggins!

The Ides Of Metropolis: Or, The One With the Gigantic Nude Painting of Clark's Mom!

In this fan, um, non-favorite, ALL THE COMPUTERS become infected with a virus, and only Superman and his floppy-disk-transporting powers can save the day! Meanwhile, Lois harbors an escaped convict, Martha might be having an affair, and Lex gets philosophical -- and then accidentally kills someone. 

We rarely rewatch this episode, but we're glad we did, because it turns out... Ides has some hidden gems! Clever throwbacks to The Pilot... hints about things to come later in the season... a preview of what married life might look like for Lois & Clark in the far future... not to mention some rare, sweet moments with Clark and his dad. 

Of course, we also started noticing that Lois's fish tank badly needs cleaning, so, you know... "enthralling," Ides is not. OUR recap, on the other hand? A total blast (if we do say so ourselves.) So come on and have a listen!

Our Special Feature this week is: Jenn's Visits to the WB Studios in 1995 and 1996!

It seems unbelievable, but here we are at our 14th Episode Check-In! After we recorded "Illusions of Grandeur," we came together to talk about all the L&C news that's come our way in the past few months and to chat a little more about our podcasting adventures. But wait -- there's more! Jenn leads a Q&A, and Molly presents a game of "Already Happened... Or Still To Come?" (Want to play along? Grab a paper and pencil!) Finally, we look forward to the next 7 episodes, and the thrilling conclusion of Lois & Clark: Season 1!

Let's take a trip down memory lane and revisit Lois & Clark Season 1, Episode 12: All Shook Up!

An asteroid is headed toward Earth, and with less than a week until impact, Superman flies into space to stop it. But when he ends up hurtling back toward Metropolis with a raging case of amnesia, will he be able to remember who he is in time? (With Lois's help? Yes, please.)

Meanwhile, Jimmy gets a byline, Cat goes to confession, Lex does a copy/paste of Lois's apartment, Martha pushes Clark off a balcony, and Jonathan hits his son with a baseball bat. 

WE LOVE THIS EPISODE!

Our Special Feature this week is A Profile On K Callan, aka the unforgettable Martha Kent!

Honeymoon In Metropolis was the final (new) Lois & Clark episode to air in 1993, so we thought it would be fun to look back at that entire year! Welcome to our 1993 Retrospective Episode! We're talking about the movies, the TV shows, the songs, the toys, the snacks, the celebrity marriages -- anything and everything. We also have listener input, quizzes, and fun facts about what we were doing that year! (At least one of us got the "Lois" haircut!)

The next time we drop an episode, we'll be into 1994!

Grab a plate of your favorite cuisine and join us for Lois & Clark Season 1, Episode 11: Honeymoon In Metropolis!

Lois & Clark are MARRIED? Nah, but they are staying together in the Lexor Hotel honeymoon suite for 3 nights! 

But don't get any ideas about romance, okay? This arrangement is STRICTLY BUSINESS... except for the game playing, the personal conversations, the kissing, the teasing, and that whole thing where Lois sleeps completely nude.

There's also an A plot in there, somewhere, too. Allegedly.

Hold on to all seven of your veils -- it's Lois & Clark Season 1, Episode 10: Pheromone, My Lovely!

When a love-potion-esque perfume causes citizens of Metropolis to lose all inhibitions, things get steamy... and awkward!

It's an episode full of surreal humor and sexy shenanigans, and we're here to dish about ALL of it!
