World Without Lex

A steel door elsewhere in the compound is taken down by some explosives. Oliver, in costume, and Clark, totally not in any kind of costume except a white T-shirt and blue flannel, stand in the doorway. Oliver is holding his crossbow like a pistol. He says they've got 15 minutes max. Clark wants to split up. Oliver asks what Clark will do if he's caught. Bite someone? Oh, I would so love to see that. He'd leave a Clark-Mark. Clark doesn't budge, so Oliver warns Clark that he might not be there to save him if he gets in trouble.

Clark, on his own, ambles down a hallway. He peeks into a random window and sees someone lying on a prison cot. He keeps walking. Further down the hall, Clark finds an unlocked door. He opens it and hears a familiar grating voice. It's Lois Lane, leading two men behind her. She's wearing all black. She sees Clark and scoffs. She asks what he's doing there. "I..." he begins. One of the men with Lois asks if they know each other. They both give different answers. Lois pretends that Clark is a prisoner. She also pretends that she was just demoted. Ah, because she's posing as a worker at the compound. Clever! Even though that seemed to work, she kicks one of the guys anyway, blowing her cover. Clark punches the other guy. Lois grabs one of their guns and starts walking. She asks what Clark is doing there. "I heard they had a good espresso," he jokes. Lois is only slightly impressed with Clark's humor. Clark says he's looking for Chloe. He asks how Lois got here. "Feminine charm. Yes, I do have some." Lois asks Clark to give his stand-up a rest and help her find Chloe. She cocks her pistol. It's teamwork for dummies.

Commercials. Yes Man. That's right, get back on that comedy horse, Jim Carrey.

Chloe is strapped in to her secret-decoder chair. Lab Nerd asks how she slept. Chloe didn't sleep well knowing she's probably hunting down innocent people for LuthorCorp. Number Two walks in. He says he's examined Chloe's file. They knew about her healing power, but her "Turbo I.Q." is a surprise. Especially on this show. "I'm not gonna help you," Chloe whispers, "so I guess you're gonna have to kill me." Whoah, whoah, hold on there! We just signed you on for Season Nine! Patience! Number Two brings up Chloe's mother and her ability to control people's minds. He says Lex had the foresight to draw as much spinal fluid as possible from Moira's body. Number Two pulls out a glowing green vial. He says that with research, they've been able to make a potion to control minds as well. It's called Jamba Juice, and I will do its bidding. Regan says the effect is temporary, but it gets the job done. He injects Chloe in the neck with the Notion Potion. Chloe's eyes flash green. Regan asks for the last three phone number digits. "173," Chloe says flatly. The target position is acquired: it's in their building. Chloe snaps out of her state quickly and sees what she just did. D'oh!
