* Anyone else notice the sticks-of-gum stand in the restaurant when
Clark walked in one of the memories?  (They had a commercial during
the breaks.)

* Isn't this the first episode that Lois and Kara were simultaneously
in?  We got told, not shown, that they have been friends the whole
time.

*  It seems that the Jor-El made sure that "Linda" couldn't conquer
the world as an amnesiac.

*  So Lois has no idea that Lex had something to do with Gabriel's
death.  (Does she even know that he's dead?)

*  Can Chloe resurrect from direct death?  (Or have Wolverine style
super-healing from direct damage.)  So far, she has super healing and/
or resurrection only from the backlashes from healing or resurrecting
others.  I guess Chloe's healing is like the empathic healing Raven
(used to?) do in the 1980s Teen Titans comics, where Raven had to
mediate to fix the damage she transferred to herself.

*  Isn't a direct bullet to the head instant death?  It wasn't a
glancing blow, and (AFAIK) Lex doesn't have a metal plate in his
forehead (like Michael Knight in the first _Knight Rider_ episode).
Or is this an injury that is more lethal in the movies than in real
life (like snapping necks)?
