This is such a great episode. It isn't just about Ultra Woman... it somehow finds a way to delve deeply into the personas of both Lois & Clark.
For a few episodes preceding this, Lois was beginning to grate on me. She was becoming increasingly superficial. Lois was just about the story or just about her feelings or at a critical juncture in her relationship with Clark - she would allow someone else to woe her.
This episode gives Lois a kind of ultimate power. The way she responded to this gift showed us the kind of person she really was and the reason Clark/Superman loves her so deeply.
The episode also shows us why Clark is such a unique and humble individual. The way he manages the loss of his powers, his relationship with his parents... with Lois.
I also couldn't help but feel that if this episode was done in the modern era (it's 2023 as I write this), the makers would have found a way to stretch this single episode into 7 or 13 episodes because they can't seem to get beyond a single idea per season these days.
