Daily Planet. Clark walks into Tess's office. She's been trying to reach him all day by phone, but he was busy trying to find the shooter. When he tells her it's Alexander, she's sad but not surprised. She breaks the news to him that Lionel is back, too, having followed Clark from the parallel world. Also, he knows about Alexander. Oliver walks in to deliver even more bad news, that Lionel has already found Alexander. Tess quite logically suggests that Clark use the mirror box to send Lionel and Alexander away. Clark is forced to admit he destroyed the box because he is a big damned fool. He figures he'll go ask Jor-El for help. Oliver reminds him that "snow dad has been a little frosty." Ugh. It's a good thing he's so easy on the eyes, because he can be such a pain to the ears. He and Tess think they need to think of something else. "Don't you have other ways to deal with them?" Tess asks. He could ignore them until May. That usually seems to work out pretty well. Instead of answering, Clark tells them not to do anything while he's away and then zips away to the Fortress. Tess looks like she's not down with that.
