That night, Lois wakes up in bed, feeling strange, and her skin a shade of pale white. She gets up, hearing a voice calling her name, and she opens the window, and walks out through it. Though she doesn't notice, Clark wakes up, and follows her. Lois continues following the voice outside, and walks into the woods.

He tells them to get some rest, and thhey'll being the interview in the morning. Clark doesn't feel right, but goes along with it, and everyone goes to sleep.
That night, Lois wakes up in bed, feeling strange, and her skin a shade of pale white. She gets up, hearing a voice calling her name, and she opens the window, and walks out through it. Though she doesn't notice, Clark wakes up, and follows her. Lois continues following the voice outside, and walks into the woods. All around her, pairs of red, beady eyes eerily stare back at her from the shadows. Suddenly, a werewolf launches itself out of the inky blackness, and flies through the air at her. The wolf doesn't reach its target however, because Clark, as Superman, slams into it, remarking to Lois that it's a little late for a stroll. Superman fends the wolf off, punching it, and tell her to run back to the castle. She does, and Superman becomes overwhelmed by the wolves. The wolves rip into Superman, and begin mauling him. Lois keeps running, but runs into Count Rominoff in the fog. He remarks that she heard his call, and as he prepares to sink his vampiric fangs into her neck, he asks if she brought him with her. Superman flies through the night sky and finds Lois, commanding the vampire to get away from her. Rominoff fades away into the fog, happily exclaiming that Superman has finally arrived in his land.
Superman flies Lois back to their room, but she takes a hostile attitude towards him, yelling at him to let her go. He brings her back to the room, and she reveals the reason she's angry; The fact that he chose to save Wonder Woman instead of her father during the Imperiex War. He stares at her shocked, and she suddenly falls unconscious. The next morning, Lois wakes up in bed, and sees Clark staring out the window at the rising sun.

But to his astonishment, she remembers none of it, and there are no traces of mud on her feet from the woods. They conduct the interview that morning, but Rominoff keeps it brief, finally requesting to see them in the dining hall that night. Later, Jimmy gets ready, and Elizabeth enters his room wearing lingerie and begins seducing him, when she suddenly prepares to bite his neck.
