A fugitive hides out with Lois, who believes he is innocent. But Clark fears harboring a fugitive puts her in danger, and on the wrong side of the law. Jonathan moves in with Clark when he begins to suspect Martha is cheating on him.
Eugene Laderman, convicted of murdering Henry Harrison, escapes. Then he kidnaps Lois at gunpoint and convinces her he did not commit murder. But if Laderman didn't kill Harrison, who did? The answer lies in a sinister piece of software called The Ides of Metropolis, and in the curious change of personality Harrison's wife experienced after Laderman's conviction.—CommanderBalok
