Best episode of Season 4!

Yes I would say this episode is even better than the wedding! It brings up a challenging problem that Lois and Clark haven't fully worked through, there are actually 3 people in their marriage, Lois, Clark and Superman. So what happens when Superman and Lois are "caught" spending the weekend together at an exclusive resort? The public believes Lois is cheating on her husband! How can Superman regain his reputation of integrity without revealing his other identity?

It's a challenging dynamic for Lois and Clark. When they are together there is such electricity it's hard for them to control it when Clark is Superman. As Clark points out no suit can disguise how they feel about each other. Throw in a jealous rival looking for dirt to bring Superman down and it was a certainty that they would get caught. And it doesn't seem there is any way to get out of the mess while protecting who Superman is.

There are some major plot holes in this episode but that doesn't take away from the interesting way Lois and Clark try to handle the situation. And the scandal brings out some interesting points to ponder, how would the public's feelings change about Superman if they found out the truth? What would Lois and Clark's life look like if everyone knew Clark was Superman? What makes this episode so interesting is pondering all the "what ifs" that are asked and imagining how their life could change.

And for the fans that love the chemistry between Lois and Clark there are juicy moments as the title suggests. And we also get a classic scene of Lois in danger needing Superman to rescue her leading to a very humorous game of charades. This episode has everything in it that fans love about the Lois and Clark story. And it truly is a unique storyline in the flow of the whole series. It will also keep the viewer guessing until the very end exactly how this scandal will be resolved.

Superman exposed? Truthful episode!

"Sex, Lies and Videotape" episode 13 from season 4 of "Lois and Clark: New Adventures of Superman" which first aired on Jan. 19, 1997 was one of the better ones with a plot twist and the entertaining action was top notch. It involves peace and the city is giving the man of steel a citizen award only a photo taken showing Superman with Lois gets the public talking! Is Lois having an affair with Superman? Will Clark and his real identity be revealed? Behind the scheme is an evil business guy(played well by Jack Wagner) who's helped along well by his sidekick an independent photographer(Downtown Julie Brown). Also in this episode the sexy and beautiful Teri Hatcher once again has a damsel in distress scene as she's kidnapped and has her mouth taped with duct taped as it's tough to talk and tell Superman a message when she's rescued! Wonderful well done episode this series really was good as Hatcher and Dean Cain fit the model and mold so well for Clark and Lois they were such a cute couple that were in love with passion as this episode proved. As Truth saved the day.
