Lana quickly reveals that she knows who Clark is, and tries to help him by spying on her boyfriend. But when Lex finds out, it will be up to his archenemy to save Lana.

* EasilyOverheardConversation: As he prepares to [[DeathTrap do away with her]], Eelan tells Lana that even if Superman is in the area he won't be able to see through the lead-coated walls of the factory. Supes then bursts in and points out that he can ''[[SuperHearing hear]]'' Eelan just fine.

* [[HeKnowsTooMuch She Knows Too Much]]: Lana. And Lex was forced to have her killed. Fortunately, Superman saved her.

** Despite having already seen his would be buyers fire his fancy laser guns at Superman and nothing happening, he still points his own gun at Superman. Superman quips, "I should warn you; it's been done." Then Eelan switches aim to a bridge with a BusFullOfInnocents approaching instead, forcing Superman to [[FriendOrIdolDecision save them]] while Eelan [[VillainExitStageLeft gets away]].

** Lana Lang's design is very similar to that of ComicBook/MaryJaneWatson, which is obvious when you compare her design to Bruce Timm's [[https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/452541462547187073/ drawing of MJ]]. Just like MJ, Lana is a fashion conscious party girl who hides her serious side under a flaky exterior along with the fact that she knew Clark's secret identity the whole time).

** Lana Lang, dressed in an expensive dress with a diamond brooch, is surrounded by journalists. One asks "Lana, are the jewels real?" to which she replies, in a flirty tone: "''Everything's'' real, boys."
** Superman is trying to warn Lana about Lex Luthor. She says "...I know how to handle Lex. I know how to handle most men, in fact. It's only Clark Kent I've ever had any trouble [[DoubleEntendre pinning down.]]"
** And there was a part where Lana goes "And I like ''[[PowerIsSexy powerful]]'' men.". Earlier, Luthor is asking Lana why Superman was at her apartment. In her explanation, she says Supes told her Luthor was a "bad boy"... and she ''[[AllGirlsWantBadBoys likes]]'' bad boys, complete with seductive tone.
** Early in the episode when Clark and Lois attend a fashion show, Lois scoffs at one of the models, saying "The [[GagBoobs only thing]] holding that dress up is ''faith''."
** We also get MaleGaze, courtesy of Lex's point-of-view shot, of Lana's legs and butt.

* EasilyOverheardConversation: As he prepares to [[DeathTrap do away with her]], Eelan tells Lana that even if Superman is in the area he won't be able to see through the lead-coated walls of the factory. Supes then bursts in and points out that he can ''[[SuperSenses hear]]'' Eelan just fine.

** Lana Lang's design in this episode is basically ComicBook/MaryJaneWatson, which is obvious when you compare her design to Bruce Timm's [[https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/452541462547187073/ drawing of MJ]]. Her character (a fashion conscious party girl who hides her serious side under a flaky exterior is basically Classic MJ, alongside her knowing Clark's secret identity the whole time).
