Some schmo in a car. MeanCop pulls up in another car next to the guy and asks, "Did you bring 'em?" Schmo says he's not supposed to be doing this. MeanCop counters about how many rent-a-cops don't fill out the part about previous arrests on their applications. Is a rent-a-cop job that important to you, Schmo? Schmo hands over a batch of museum security photos, including one of Lex and Clark looking dapper from an overhead view. MeanCop smiles in recognition of unmistakable love.
Stately Luthor Manor. Funky music is playing. Lex is pouring some wine. Oh yeah. Seduction. Lex, in a purple turtleneck, asks how his guest likes Smallville. "I liked it a whole lot more once they stopped using kryptonite as a plot device every week," Boobs McChesty thinks, but instead she answers that it reminds her of her home village in Wales. Circling around Lex in her red fiesta wrap, she says it's safe, boring, and the last place she expected to find Lex. He says his dad's bringing him back to Metropolis in a few years. "He's lying," she says, shaking her head a little. "I know," Lex answers. Man, I never thought an actress could come on this show and have less charisma than Lana. She tells Lex he deserves something better. Lex wants to know why she's here, adding that the daughters of multinational billionaires don't fly halfway 'round the world to rekindle old flames. Wait, I thought rich people did that all the time. He also notes that she's an executive vice-president. "So, you've heard?" Boobs yell/warbles. Lex says he keeps up. "How is Sir Harry?" he asks. For a minute, I think he's talking about Harry Potter, but it turns out it's her dad, and that he's as inaccessible and rich as Lionel Luthor. Boobs says her father thinks Lex's negative feelings for his father might work to all their advantages. Boobs sounds like one of those shampoo commercials where a supermodel who shouldn't be allowed to talk out loud is forced to talk about nutrients and pH balancing. Lex asks if she was sent as an incentive. "I've missed you, Lex," she says. "I'm touched," he responds. He seems about as interested in her as Jocko Whitney is in joining the Royal Shakespeare Theatre Company. Lex asks if she has a proposal. "First I think I'd like...something else," she says. They kiss. And it's boring.
