Lair of Lex. Lex is at the piano, looking dejected. Papa Luthor comes in. He asks what Lex's urgent message is about. He puts his hands on Lex's shoulder, but Lex pulls away. Lex mutters that he thought Papa was past his kleptomania stage. Papa, a bit annoyed, says that if Lex is implying thievery, he has no interest in Lex's "baubles and trinkets." Lex says that Papa Luthor seemed interested in what was in his warehouse. Lex asks what Papa did -- pay off security, bribe his scientists? Papa seems disappointed that Lex lost his most prized possession. He lectures Lex on not keeping an eye on the things he values most. "I want it back now!" Lex snaps. Papa says that he had nothing to do with this "unfortunate heist." Man, that guy can act. Genius! Lex says he doesn't know what happened to Papa Luthor during the meteor shower, but that he thinks Papa is more connected to the ship than he ever realized. Papa advises Lex to be careful, because he's a fragile man. "I don't want to see you shattered again by your delusions --" Lex interrupts him by holding his father's head between his hands. Lex gives his father the stare-down, and then lets him go and walks off. Ominous music plays. Papa walks over to the piano and plays three notes. Figaro?
