Smallville Season 9 Episode 8: Idol

A large crate arrives at the Daily Planet. When Lois and Clark – bickering and bantering back and forth like an old married couple – finally open the box, they find a pair cops stripped down to their skivvies and bound and gagged, the result of a botched undercover drug bust. Clark nearly drops a load of kryptonite in his Super Shorts when he sees someone has co-opted his Blur’s “S” and made it into a window display on a Metropolis high rise. Lois, meanwhile, gets a little tingly in her undies over the prospect of the major scoop in retaliation for The Blur dodging her phone calls.

Lois is losing faith in The Blur and her editor chides her that he wants a story on this, especially since thanks to a Blur blunder, a prominent crime boss is back on the street. Instead of banging out a story, Lois heads to her shrink to tell her doctor how she has dreams about banging out yet another, much more erotic story with Clark.  Mid-session, Lois’s phone rings with her refusing to pick up and we discover The Blur has his very own ringtone: “Holding Out For a Hero.”
