Trivia
Kara and Jimmy's mutual attraction reflects a similar flirtation between Supergirl and Jimmy in Silver Age comic books. That flirtation culminated in an "imaginary story" (the term used to describe a comics story that wasn't a part of the main comics' continuity) where Jimmy and Kara were married.

Goofs
The last times green kryptonite was heated up to an explosion heat it made black kryptonite that split Lex in two and then put him back together. When Kara used her heat vision to blow up the green kryptonite that was near Clark it just exploded and didn't separate him.

Quotes
Clark Kent: Lana, I thought you were gone. If you knew how that felt...
Lana Lang: Clark I am so sorry. I never wanted to hurt you.
Clark Kent: But you didn't trust me enough to let me help you.
Lana Lang: I was trying to protect you. Clark I know you. You gonna rush in there and save someone even if it means putting your own life in danger. And when Lionel threatened to hurt you... O couldn't take that chance.
Clark Kent: You know, it's a little ironic to hear someone else say that. I guess I'm just not used to be the one that needs to be protected. I... I can't wait to see the look on Chloe's face when she finds out you're alive.
Lana Lang: She can't. Not yet.

Mainly an Eye-Candy Presentation, thats all

This episode had less to do with Clark- and now Kara's- story than with giving Kara Zor-El actress Laura Vandervoort screen time to display her body, along with a couple of other women. A couple of other plot points keep this episode afloat, however.

Kara is desperate to fit in. To do this, she enters the Miss Sweet Corn Beauty Pageant. However, also in the pageant are three kryptonite-infected vixens, two of which see Kara display her superhuman strength power to save Jimmy Olsen from freezing in his car. They use Kara to help them obtain a Smallville treasure map located inside the town's time capsule. However, Kara double-crosses them, since they were so brutally mean to her already. In the meantime, Lex figures that Kara is the "angel" who saved him from death, and confronts her about that.

The plot point involving Lex thinking that Kara is the "angel" is what gives this episode any purpose. However, when Lex has to say a line involving not only being saved from death by Kara but also "from his evil ways," obviously Lex actor Michael Rosenbaum, who is usually the best actor on the show, didn't buy it, because he acted it so flatly that it was corny. The "vixens" were an annoyance. But it's good to have Kara "Kent" in the show.
