Ready... Aim... Misfire!

Hospital. Lois is in her room, tapping away at a laptop computer, reading about different kinds of arrows. The door opens and she happily calls out to Clark without looking up. Except it's actually Zod, and he's arrived bearing a bouquet of flowers. Lois tells him he must have the wrong room. He introduces himself as Clark's old friend Zod, who was just in the neighborhood, donating blood, and thought he'd pop in for a visit. Lois says Clark's never mentioned him. "And being a championship wrestling fan, I'd definitely remember a name like that." I wonder why he doesn't go by Dru or even Drew while on Earth, the way Clark sometimes goes by Kal? I guess "Kneel before Drew!" just doesn't have the same ring to it. Zod says he's heard all about Lois. She smiles, flattered, because his vaguely menacing, creepy demeanor isn't tipping her off. He flatters her some more, telling her that Clark wasn't exaggerating about her. She presses him on how he knows Clark. "We've got a lot of history together," he says. He promises to take her out when she's feeling better and tell her all about the real Clark Kent. "I'm not sure even Clark's parents know the real Clark Kent," she says. Zod chuckles. "You mean Clark's adoptive parents," Zod corrects her. Lois says Clark doesn't know anything about his real parents. Zod slyly agrees. He casually gives her a small gold charm that he lies about buying from some kids in the hospital. There's a Kryptonian symbol on it. On his way out, he pauses and says, "You tell that Clark Kent he's a very lucky man." Lois smiles. I can't tell if she's wary of him or if the ominous music in the background just makes everything seem suspicious.

Oliver's LuthorCorp office. He's studying a whole wall full of surveillance pics from the last few days. Mia watches him with concern. "You wanna tell me what you're doing? Because this looks serial-killer scary." He says he thinks someone is following him. Mia guesses why he reacted so strongly when she jumped him that morning. Except... wasn't that before Oliver knew Vordigan was in town? Mia takes a closer look at the pics and notices they're all of Oliver. She picks up one of them; it's of the fund-raiser. "Isn't this where that lady got shot?" Oliver gets pissed off at her for some reason and snatches away the picture. He tells her there's a lot she doesn't know about him. "I had no right trying to play mentor with you; it's way too risky." Mia is stunned. She refuses to leave, but Oliver tells her to get the hell out of there. Now shoot a hunting rifle near her so she'll be afraid of people! Mia glares at him for a moment, then storms out.
