Lair of Lex. He's drinking again. It's a little sad. Clark walks in. Lex asks if Lana is sending Clark in to do her apologies. Clark tells Lex that Lana is back to normal. He wants to know is Lex will be pressing charges. "For breaking in or almost killing me?" he asks. Clark is sure that in Lex's mind, nothing goes without payback. He asks what Lex plans to do. Lex says, "Nothing." Great, that's going to be an awesome rest of the season. Maybe this strike is a good thing. Lex says that, ironically, he's the one who ended up with something he wanted. He says Lana still has feelings for him. Lex says it was the powers that made her obsessed. Correctly, Lex says passion like that doesn't come out of the blue. He asks Clark what's stronger: Lana's hatred for Lex or her love of Clark. Clark, defensively, says eventually Lana will move on from her anger. Lex says that obsession outlives everything. "Even love," he says, taking a drink. Suck on that one, Clark. Clark thinks Lana would have never done anything like this before she was with Lex. Are you trying to say that Lex infected Lana with his evil seed? It's not altogether far-fetched. Lex steps up to Clark and says he's not the first person to have taught Lana about betrayal. Game, set and match! "It's hard to face what you created, isn't it?" Lex asks. Clark is completely destroyed.
Lana's secret computer lair. Lana walks in to see her screens are all full of static. Chloe walks in behind her. Lana says Lex must have cut her off. "It wasn't Lex," Chloe says. Lana thinks she has a right to protect herself after all that Lex has done. Chloe says she'd have liked to know about this operation. Lana apologizes for lying. She says she didn't think Chloe would understand. When has Chloe been too dumb to understand something like this? Chloe says the whole picture is in crystal-clear HD now. Chloe throws down a mythology lesson. She says it made sense that Lana was helping people. Isis is the goddess of love and life and healing. She marched to the ends of the earth to help "Jump-start" the man she loved. Chloe says she wants Clark to have that kind of loyalty in life, but she's not sure it should be from Lana. Lana says she'd do anything for Clark. "Even kill," Chloe says, with a scoff. "Lucky guy." Lana looks away. Chloe says that Isis is also the goddess of the underworld and was responsible for bringing down the god Ra to his knees. Lana asks if Chloe thinks she'd do that to Clark. "Not intentionally," Chloe says. But she thinks Lana's capable of it now. Chloe promises she'd not going to let that happen. She walks away, leaving Lana to stew in her own pink juices.
