Belle Reve. Emil is shining a light into an unconscious Clark's eyes, trying to get his attention. He remains unresponsive. Chloe walks into the room behind him, saying that an ambulance is on the way. She also says some crazy shit about Stuart losing a lot of blood, but still being alive, and from the complete lack of panic in her voice you'd think he suffered a flesh wound when we just saw the back of his head get damn near blown off. Tess is OK, too, but she's been relegated to some off-screen place. Why do they not turn her in to the police is beyond me. Emil thinks he can pull Lois and Clark out of their locked brains but Chloe wants to leave them plugged in for a while. Emil's all, "But it's putting their lives in danger!" Chloe tells him if he pulls Clark out now, more people's lives will be at stake. This is his chance to find out why Alia came back from the future to tell him he would destroy the world. Clark twitches on the floor between them and a flash of light takes us to...

...the Watchtower of the future. Techno-rock music plays to let us know some badassery is about to take place. Oliver, Chloe, and Lois strut through the doors. Lois tends to some random wounds on her hands and Oliver goes to fetch his extra-special compound bow, greeting it like a long-lost lover. Chloe flips the lights on and Lois sees the full scale of the place for the first time. She's awed. "OK, remember when I kicked you out of my clubhouse for spilling soda and you said you'd just build a cooler one? You win." Chloe has no time for banter, though, and goes to one of the computers. Surveillance footage of the city (the world?) shows the place in ruins. "So this is what happens when there's no Blur," Lois says. Oliver walks into the room, having fully changed into his Green Arrow leathers in ten seconds. He gives Lois a lead-sheathed knife made of kryptonite, although he calls it "meteor rock" for her benefit. I guess. Chloe is just uploading the virus to the tower's command center. The techno music has given way to heroic orchestral music. Oliver warns them the Kandorians are coming. He and Lois head out and Chloe promises to catch up to them, which is almost always a sign that you're about to be dead.
