When the excellent student Ian Randall (Jonathan Taylor Thomas) gets a C from his teacher John Frankle (Serge Houde), he freaks out, duplicates himself and kills Frankle. He simultaneously invites Lana Lang and Chloe Sullivan to date, aiming to get a scholarship from Luthor Corp through the girls. Lana moves to Chloe's house to live with her family. Clark Kent tries to advise Lana and Chloe about the personality and ability of Ian, but he is misunderstood. Jonathan Kent breaks his leg, and Lex Luthor meets Dr. Helen Bryce (Emmanuelle Vaugier), who is treating Jonathan. Lana and Chloe promise to each other to keep no more secrets between them.

"Dichotic" is another good episode of Smallville, when Clark becomes upset with Lana Lang and Chloe Sullivan. The story shows that life is made of choices and priorities, being impossible sometimes to get all of them at the same time. My vote is nine.

Title (Brazil): "Duplo" ("Double")

The actor of the second son in 'Home Improvement' plays the duplicating meteor freak Ian Randall in an exciting yet rather freaky episode.

Ian Randall has the ability to split himself. Because of this, he is able to attend extra classes in school, and to date two girls at once. But when he does date two at once in Lana and Chloe, it is with evil intentions. He intends to bait Clark into making a decision of who to save.

In addition, Lex Luthor meets Dr. Helen Bryce after seeing Jonathan in the hospital, who is suffering with a broken leg. A attraction sparks between the two.

The most fun part of this episode is seeing an actor from such a popular and well-known show like 'Home Improvement' be featured as a 'villain' in 'Smallville.'

How cute! Innocent children becoming teenagers .,, CK, the girls were right, you were jealous of Ian! It wasn't just about friendship between you and the two girls... it was love! And yes, they also loved you and you loved them both, but in different ways! Ian, an ambitious young man, who wanted to skip stages and quickly build his future, seems to be the negative character. The idea of killing the professor for a low grade was exaggerated, and the scene was made precisely to convince us how bad Ian was. But CK, you're wrong and it was actually your jealousy that put the girls' lives at risk. Of course, in the end you had to save them!
