Ep 9. Pheromone, My Lovely

Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman is a television show that aired in the mid-1990s. The show follows the lives of Lois Lane and Clark Kent as they work at the Daily Planet newspaper and, in Clark's case, as he also saves the city of Metropolis as Superman. In season 1 episode 9, titled "Pheromone, My Lovely," Lois and Clark find themselves affected by a pheromone spray that causes them to act on their repressed feelings for each other.

The episode begins with a mysterious woman named Dr. Cassandra Carlton (played by Raquel Welch) holding a press conference to announce her latest invention, a pheromone spray that can make anyone fall in love with the first person they see. Lois and Clark are both assigned to cover the press conference, and when Lois accidentally gets sprayed with the pheromone, she becomes fixated on Clark.

At first, Clark is confused and uncomfortable with Lois's sudden attention, but as he gets more and more wrapped up in her, he begins to realize that he has been harboring feelings for her all along. Meanwhile, they both become increasingly irrational, causing chaos at the Daily Planet. They also begin to neglect their responsibilities as reporters, which doesn't go unnoticed by their boss, Perry White.

As Lois and Clark's relationship becomes more intense, Dr. Carlton reveals that her real motive for creating the pheromone spray was to get revenge on Superman for rejecting her advances years earlier. She has also created a version of the spray specifically designed to affect Superman, and she plans to use it to force him to fall in love with her.

When Superman shows up to confront Dr. Carlton, she sprays him with the pheromone, causing him to become infatuated with her. However, his love for Lois is stronger than the effects of the spray, and he is able to break free of Dr. Carlton's control. Together, Lois and Superman bring Dr. Carlton to justice and destroy her pheromone spray.

In the end, Lois and Clark are left to deal with the aftermath of their feelings for each other. They both acknowledge that their relationship is complicated, but they also realize that they care deeply for each other. As the episode closes, they share a tender moment, hinting at the possibility of a romance in their future.

Overall, "Pheromone, My Lovely" is a fun and lighthearted episode that explores the chemistry between Lois and Clark. It also introduces a new villain who poses a real threat to Superman's emotional well-being. Fans of the show will enjoy seeing their favorite characters navigate the ups and downs of a strange love potion, and new viewers will be drawn in by the charming performances of Teri Hatcher and Dean Cain.
