Flashback. Lex gets stabbed again. (It always hurts worst the third time.) Kasitch pulls out a gun. He gets knocked over. A gunshot goes off. Parker Lewis falls. Lex turns. It's Liv Lite holding the gun, her mouth in a huge "O." Strobe light. Liv starts to get a crazy Joker smile. Then she cries. She drops the gun. It lands in loud slow motion.

"No! You're twisting it again!" Contractor Guy yells. "That's what happened!" Lex yells back from the floor. Lex says he was trying to protect her. "I'm through with you, Lex!" Contractor Guy yells. He pulls Lex up to his feet. Lex says that killing him won't bring Liv back. "After tonight, you won't hurt anybody. You can't escape your past, Lex," a grinning, crazy Contractor Guy yells. He points the gun at Lex. Lex spins suddenly. The gun goes off. Lex falls back, breaking through glass, falling down toward the lower level in slow motion

Clark suddenly enters. He sees what's happening, zips across the room, and pushes a couch toward the center of the room where Lex is falling. What, your arms are too good for him? As Lex and a bunch of nicely lit glass falls, Clark zips upstairs toward Contractor Guy. Clark throws him against a wall. Clark sees Lex land on the couch. He zips downstairs again. Geez, Clark. Complicating the dynamics of space and time, much? Clark zips to the front door, and then comes back in normal speed, pretending to come in after everything has happened. "Get down!" Lex says, and I expect Clark to start dancing. But he's warning Clark about the man with the gun. "That guy?" Clark asks, pointing to the unconscious Contractor Guy upstairs. "What happened?" he asks. Lex, all wet, asks Clark how he found the place. "With a little help from my friends," Clark tells him. Lex smiles sweetly.
