* FairForItsDay: Ann is never portrayed as helpless, though she is sheltered by her mother's protectiveness. Ultimately, it almost seems like her blindness is the least of her problems.

The Daily Planet holds a letter-writing contest for children, promising the winner a flight around the world with Superman. The winning entry is signed Elaine Carson, but it turns out to have been written by her daughter Ann, who has been blinded in a car accident and so thinks her mother would enjoy the trip more. Strangely enough, Ann did this even though she doesn't believe that Superman is real. Elaine, meanwhile, is acting paranoid and tells everyone to get lost. Eventually, Clark and Lois figure out what's really going on with the family and engineer the perfect happy ending.
!!This episode contains examples of:
*DisappearedDad: Elaine's split with her husband was so bitter that he ran all the way to Arabia while his lawyer stalks his wife, while his daughter pines for him to come back.
*DivorceIsTemporary: Despite all of the above, once Clark and Lois get the Carsons in a room together, everything's just fine.
*DontYouDarePityMe: Ann's attitude about her blindness, saying it makes people get all "mushy."
*LampshadeHanging: The show highlights its own AcceptableBreaksFromReality twice. Ann tells Superman upon meeting him, "You sound like Mr. Kent," only to take his word for it that he isn't. At the end, when Superman is flying her over the snowy Himalayas, he asks, "Are you cold?" to which she answers, "Not at all!" and it's left at that.
*MamaBear: Elaine. She drove her husband away because she blamed him for the car accident that blinded their daughter, and has been ferociously protective ever since.
*TheWorldIsJustAwesome: The theme of virtually all of Ann's remarks as they fly over it.
