Hey, Dad!
Hey, Clark. Son, is there maybe a little something you'd like to tell your mother and me?
[Jonathan holds up bra]
Where did that come from?
From out in the barn. In the hay.
Clark...
It was magic.
I'm sure it was...

Isobel was... aggressively sexy.
Oh great, possessed by an evil slut.
BIBrianna [in Lois]
I'm gorgeous! [touching her chest] Look at these!
IIIsobel [in Lana]
[uninterested] Yes. They're very nice.
IIIsobel [in Lana]
We don't have time for this.
MIMadelyn [in Chloe]
Time is the only thing we do have. Isn't that what you said right before the angry mob set us on fire?
IIIsobel [in Lana]
You're really not gonna let that go, are you?
You leave quite a path of destruction.
Lex. I was going to come see you.
Preemptive strike. Just in case there was any evil dead action still brewing.
I didn't kill her.
CCorinne
I didn't ask. Lex, you're paying me to get you off, not to prove you're innocent. But you're gonna have to be straight with me. Were you drinking last night?
Yes. At the fundraiser in the hotel. We had champagne.
CCorinne
Is it possible that you were drugged?
Well, it wouldn't be the first time.
How's Lex? I've been trying to contact him since I heard, but he won't speak to me.
He thinks you're trying to frame him. Are you?
No, Clark.
Why should I believe you?
There's no reason you should. Listen to me. I was ill, Clark. The liver disease I had was a death sentence. And something happened. I can't explain it. I woke up on the floor. There was a riot. I felt as if a different kind of energy had been inside me. Something strong and... good. I was changed. And my liver had healed.
What was it?
I don't know. All I can say was... it was miraculous. I could see the darkness, the destructive power that had always been inside me. I can see it in Lex now.
I thought Lex's attorneys would have all this under lock and key.
Yeah, well, she may know people at the top, but I know people at the bottom, and they work for tips.
How long is this gonna continue, Lex?
I don't know. What do you want me to tell you?
I don't want you to tell me anything. I want you to change.
I don't know if I can.
You know, it seems the only person you care about is yourself. There's a whole side of you that I don't know about, Lex. And what else don't I know about you?
You don't know that every day, I wonder why I keep going. Why I do the things I do. You know, Shannon might have been crazy, but she was right about me. I treated those women terribly, Clark. People died, and I could've stopped it. I see that now.
Well, that's a start.
You know, there was a moment the other night when that fire she set was coming towards me. I thought, good. It would save the world a lot of grief. But somehow, the fire went out. And she was lying on the floor. And suddenly, I had a second chance.
The last few days, Lex, I thought your father was being more honest with me than you were. And I hated that feeling. I felt like we were enemies.
Don't give up on me yet.
SStall
I hope I didn't separate you from your flock.
I understand your cynicism, Warden Stall, but I assure you I truly am a changed man.
SStall
Oh. Or just a smart one. You know, ever since you proclaimed this sudden conversion to our resident St. Paul, there hasn't been a single attempt on your life.
I want only to be of help to others. What is the value of my sinful life unless I use it as an example to shepherd fellow sinners, to lead them away from the allure of hedonism, mistrust, and greed? To follow a better way?
I'm guilty. Not of the crime I've been imprisoned for, but... so many other crimes which should've landed me in here years ago. This is where I belong. It's where I can do the most good.
SStall
You want to stay in prison?
Yes, I do. I've found my... my mission in life.
SStall
Contrary to your deluded point of view, this is not the Ritz Carlton where you can check in and check out at your leisure. Somebody did you a favor by getting you out of this place. I'd say be grateful.
But who? Who could do that?
SStall
Obviously someone more powerful than you.
I hope our own fears haven't gotten in your way. I would hate for you to look back and regret not telling the people closest to you. I mean, there is a chance Lana would understand.
There is. But what if she didn't?
Clark, look, I'm not sure that it's Lana, but I am sure that someday there'll be someone you can tell.
I've seen you worked up before, but this is more than amped, even for you.
I guess it's just displaced anxiety. I found my mom, Clark.
Wow. That's... Chloe, that's great.
Yeah, I mean I put my feelers out for years, and something, three months ago, finally came through. So it turns out she's not exactly MIA, so to speak. She's in a mental institution.
I'm sorry.
The real kicker is it's hereditary.
Listen, hey. If there's one thing that I've learned it's that you're not destined to follow in your parents footsteps, all right?
So, popular question of the day. What is Clark Kent's worst nightmare?
When I woke up. Everyone that I knew was gone. I was completely alone.
I wish I could say that I'll always be there for you, but somehow I get the feeling that may not be a promise I can keep. You were the only one who came out of it, Clark, and I don't think it's because you've been taking your vitamins... Look, you know what? You don't have to tell me. I know that I gave you my word that I was going to stop all this prying but... In these last few months, I really got a taste of what it was like to keep my mom's secret, and I've never felt more alone.
It's weird when people think they're so close to you but have no idea what you're really going through.
Yeah. I'd hate to live my whole life like this. But after fessing up, it's amazing how quickly that feeling of loneliness disappears. I mean, if you can't tell your best friend, who can you tell? Right, Clark?
MMinister
We are gathered here to join this happy couple in holy matrimony. Marriage, as you know, is a union that should not be entered into lightly.
Yeah, yeah, skip to the good stuff, Pops.
MMinister
Oh, all right, do you, Clark Kent, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?
Hell, yes!
