Storyline
Dr. Psycho is on an airplane flying to Metropolis and mind-controls the passengers into becoming psycho Superman fans. Lois and Clark talk about recent events but are interrupted by Shrapnel's robbing of a bank robbery. Luthor calls Dr. Psycho and tells him that he was just supposed to observe, not engage.
