00:00:08,441 --> 00:00:10,534
I'm sure it's pretty warm.
3
00:00:10,710 --> 00:00:12,200
That really sucked.
4
00:00:12,379 --> 00:00:14,939
It's okay, Clark, just say what you feel.
5
00:00:15,248 --> 00:00:16,943
What's with Clark Kent,
movie star?
6
00:00:17,117 --> 00:00:19,381
Lana's making a video-letter
for Whitney overseas.
7
00:00:19,552 --> 00:00:22,783
Thought it was the least I could do.
Hey, do you wanna give it a shot?
8
00:00:22,989 --> 00:00:24,786
Watch how the pros do it.
9
00:00:25,258 --> 00:00:29,024
The town's still rebuilding after the storm.
The first week of school's a bear.
10
00:00:29,195 --> 00:00:31,425
You're missing the worst heat wave
in 25 years.
11
00:00:31,598 --> 00:00:33,998
Bottom line, stay safe and come home soon.
12
00:00:34,167 --> 00:00:37,603
P.S. The football team's toast
without Fordman on offense.
13
00:00:38,338 --> 00:00:40,738
- That was perfect, Pete.
- Yeah, super.
14
00:00:41,307 --> 00:00:42,865
Try not to choke this time.
15
00:00:45,078 --> 00:00:46,875
How about it, Clark?
Wanna try take two?
16
00:00:47,047 --> 00:00:48,309
How about a rain check?
17
00:00:48,481 --> 00:00:51,075
Sure. Why don't you come by
the Talon later.
18
00:00:51,251 --> 00:00:53,685
- All right.
- All right, see you.
19
00:00:55,955 --> 00:00:58,287
- It's good to see some things never change.
- Chloe.
20
00:00:58,458 --> 00:01:00,551
- Hi.
- Hey, you're back.
21
00:01:03,563 --> 00:01:07,761
Yeah. Fresh from the wilds of Metropolis
and the Daily Planet internship program.
22
00:01:07,934 --> 00:01:10,903
Pete said you were a big hit.
I thought we had lost you for good.
23
00:01:11,071 --> 00:01:13,562
Well, my dad decided to give
LexCorp another shot...
24
00:01:13,740 --> 00:01:15,435
...so here I am,
back in the boonies.
25
00:01:15,608 --> 00:01:18,634
I'm glad you're staying.
I really missed you this summer.
26
00:01:18,812 --> 00:01:22,077
Yeah, I could tell by
the voluminous e-mails you sent.
27
00:01:22,248 --> 00:01:24,148
Yeah, sorry. With the farm and...
28
00:01:24,317 --> 00:01:26,547
Don't worry about it, Clark.
It's not a big deal.
29
00:01:26,719 --> 00:01:28,812
Well, I'm really excited to hear
your stories.
30
00:01:29,389 --> 00:01:32,381
Yeah, actually, you know what?
There aren't any stories.
31
00:01:32,559 --> 00:01:36,427
Oh, except that I did meet this really hot
young intern from Metropolis High.
32
00:01:36,663 --> 00:01:40,963
It was great. He made me forget all about
Smallville for three whole months.
33
00:01:49,876 --> 00:01:52,037
- Oh, great.
- What?
34
00:01:52,212 --> 00:01:54,646
Every year,
the incredibly aged Mrs. Kowalski...
35
00:01:54,814 --> 00:01:57,476
...kicks off biology class
with an ancient sex-ed film.
36
00:01:57,650 --> 00:01:59,481
Who told you that, your brother?
37
00:01:59,652 --> 00:02:01,085
My dad.
38
00:02:02,122 --> 00:02:03,783
Well, I'm sure it can't be that bad.
39
00:02:04,791 --> 00:02:06,782
Good morning, I'm Ms. Atkins.
40
00:02:07,227 --> 00:02:11,687
I'll be your new biology teacher
on health and human development.
41
00:02:13,766 --> 00:02:16,166
I'm really sorry about
the air conditioning in here.
42
00:02:16,336 --> 00:02:19,567
But it looks like we're gonna have
to suffer through this together.
43
00:02:19,739 --> 00:02:20,933
Bring on the pain.
44
00:02:21,107 --> 00:02:22,540
Let's get ready for a movie.
45
00:02:24,777 --> 00:02:27,678
All right.
Everybody try to stay awake.
46
00:02:29,015 --> 00:02:33,452
All members of the animal kingdom,
from the simplest one-celled organism...
47
00:02:33,620 --> 00:02:38,057
...to the most complex of mammals,
engage in reproduction.
48
00:02:39,058 --> 00:02:43,620
This ensures that each individual creature
can pass on its genetic information...
49
00:02:43,796 --> 00:02:45,821
...to future generations.
50
00:02:46,466 --> 00:02:49,993
Animals rely on a variety
of courtship methods.
51
00:02:50,637 --> 00:02:56,974
This remarkable reproductive process
is set into motion by the act of copulation...
52
00:02:57,443 --> 00:03:01,038
...also known as "intercourse" or "coitus."
53
00:03:01,214 --> 00:03:04,308
In many species,
the females attract their mates...
54
00:03:04,484 --> 00:03:07,783
...with chemical scents called pheromones.
55
00:03:08,888 --> 00:03:11,982
Pheromones are used to elicit
specific behaviors...
56
00:03:12,158 --> 00:03:16,652
...from members of the opposite sex
and are secreted by glands...
57
00:03:16,829 --> 00:03:21,198
...or incorporated into other fluids,
such as perspiration.
58
00:03:22,101 --> 00:03:25,696
The desired goal of all courtship behavior
in mammals is...
59
00:03:37,884 --> 00:03:41,047
Okay, everybody, walk, do not run.
Leave your books.
60
00:03:41,221 --> 00:03:42,848
Let's go!
61
00:04:50,923 --> 00:04:52,481
Lex.
62
00:04:52,925 --> 00:04:54,722
I came as soon as I heard.
63
00:04:55,828 --> 00:04:57,796
- Hi.
- Hi.
64
00:04:57,964 --> 00:05:00,489
- You all right?
- I'm fine.
65
00:05:01,301 --> 00:05:04,668
Thanks to this young man right here.
Clark, come here for a second.
66
00:05:05,204 --> 00:05:07,968
He was the only one that
kept a cool head during the entire thing.
67
00:05:08,141 --> 00:05:10,041
He actually put the fire out.
68
00:05:10,310 --> 00:05:12,073
Why am I not surprised?
69
00:05:13,646 --> 00:05:15,307
Clark, once again, I'm grateful.
70
00:05:15,915 --> 00:05:17,246
And I'm confused.
71
00:05:18,084 --> 00:05:21,713
You're right, and I'm sorry.
I'd like you to meet Desiree Atkins.
72
00:05:21,888 --> 00:05:23,685
My fiancee.
73
00:05:26,125 --> 00:05:28,525
All clear, safe to go back into the building.
74
00:05:28,895 --> 00:05:31,056
See you in class, Clark.
75
00:05:32,965 --> 00:05:34,523
Fiancee, huh?
76
00:05:35,268 --> 00:05:38,169
I didn't even know you were seeing anyone.
You sure about this?
77
00:05:38,338 --> 00:05:40,898
I've never been more sure
of anything in my life.
78
00:05:42,308 --> 00:05:46,039
I was gonna have this messengered,
but since you're here...
79
00:05:51,818 --> 00:05:54,013
It's a wedding invitation for tonight.
80
00:05:54,187 --> 00:05:57,486
I know it's short notice,
but I was hoping you'd be my best man.
81
00:05:58,758 --> 00:06:01,886
- Lex, I don't know what to say.
- I hope you'll say yes.
82
00:06:03,863 --> 00:06:05,660
Well, I'm surprised.
83
00:06:07,900 --> 00:06:09,458
And honored.
84
00:06:09,635 --> 00:06:10,897
Good.
85
00:06:11,571 --> 00:06:15,803
Better get back to class. You never know
when the next fire may erupt.
86
00:06:27,053 --> 00:06:31,251
Oh, a wedding present from your father.
So do you want me to sign this?
87
00:06:31,891 --> 00:06:35,486
Well, if you don't,
my father could disinherit me.
88
00:06:37,263 --> 00:06:39,959
Fine. I'll sign it.
89
00:06:40,133 --> 00:06:42,829
But it's gonna cost you a kiss.
90
00:07:01,554 --> 00:07:05,115
I really wish we didn't have to sign this
on our wedding day.
91
00:07:05,792 --> 00:07:07,589
You're right.
92
00:07:08,161 --> 00:07:10,994
You're the best thing that's
ever happened to me.
93
00:07:11,164 --> 00:07:14,691
I plan on being with you
until death do us part.
94
00:07:20,206 --> 00:07:22,834
- Hi, sweetheart.
- Hi.
95
00:07:26,179 --> 00:07:28,704
Tell me again your aversion
to air conditioning.
96
00:07:28,881 --> 00:07:30,178
Two words:
97
00:07:30,483 --> 00:07:32,041
Electric bill.
98
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,118
Hi, Clark. How was school?
99
00:07:37,490 --> 00:07:38,752
It was different.
100
00:07:40,660 --> 00:07:43,595
- Do we like different?
- There was a fire during biology class.
101
00:07:44,964 --> 00:07:48,161
It's okay. Nobody was hurt.
I stopped it before it spread.
102
00:07:48,568 --> 00:07:52,060
- It sounds like we should be proud of you.
- Except I think I started it.
103
00:07:53,139 --> 00:07:55,266
Wait, you want to explain that, please?
104
00:07:55,908 --> 00:07:58,934
I started to feel hot.
My eyes started to burn.
105
00:07:59,111 --> 00:08:02,103
All of the sudden,
the spot I was staring at burst into flames.
106
00:08:02,281 --> 00:08:03,748
Just by looking at it?
107
00:08:04,050 --> 00:08:08,419
Hello. Hi, I'm Clark. I'm the kid who can
lift up tractors and see through walls.
108
00:08:08,588 --> 00:08:12,080
Son, hang on just a second. What exactly
was going on when this happened?
109
00:08:12,258 --> 00:08:15,159
We'd just met our new biology teacher
and were watching a film.
110
00:08:15,328 --> 00:08:18,422
- An educational film?
- Sex-educational film.
111
00:08:23,603 --> 00:08:26,128
This could get very complicated.
112
00:08:26,606 --> 00:08:29,006
Clark, it's possible
that whatever's happened...
113
00:08:29,175 --> 00:08:31,973
...has some sort of hormonal connection.
114
00:08:32,178 --> 00:08:33,736
Yes.
115
00:08:34,647 --> 00:08:36,877
Great, so I'm maturing into a fire-starter?
116
00:08:37,049 --> 00:08:38,676
No, son, look...
117
00:08:38,851 --> 00:08:43,117
We've just gotta get a handle on this thing,
like we got a handle on your other abilities.
118
00:08:43,289 --> 00:08:46,656
Except all my other abilities
didn't involve things bursting into flames.
119
00:08:46,826 --> 00:08:49,260
All the more reason for you
to give it some time.
120
00:08:49,428 --> 00:08:52,329
- You'll just have to stay close to home.
- Great.
121
00:08:52,498 --> 00:08:53,760
Then we'll figure it out.
122
00:08:55,635 --> 00:08:57,068
I can't.
123
00:08:59,405 --> 00:09:00,736
Why, what's this?
124
00:09:02,208 --> 00:09:04,403
You're not gonna believe it.
125
00:09:22,528 --> 00:09:24,018
- Thanks.
- Cheers.
126
00:09:35,575 --> 00:09:38,408
- Hey, Chloe. Been looking all over for you.
- Hey.
127
00:09:38,578 --> 00:09:41,376
Really? I'm not that hard to find, Clark.
128
00:09:41,547 --> 00:09:46,109
Only Lex Luthor could put together
a fairy-tale wedding in less than 48 hours.
129
00:09:46,285 --> 00:09:48,810
Look, you seemed a little distant
this morning.
130
00:09:48,988 --> 00:09:51,218
I want to make sure everything's
okay between us.
131
00:09:51,390 --> 00:09:53,051
Yeah, it's hunky-dory.
132
00:09:53,225 --> 00:09:56,922
Now I know something's wrong. The only
person who says "hunky-dory" is my father.
133
00:09:57,363 --> 00:10:00,491
Look, Clark, I guess I just let
my feelings get the better of me.
134
00:10:00,666 --> 00:10:03,692
But, you know, we made a decision,
and I'm perfectly fine with it.
135
00:10:04,470 --> 00:10:06,062
Me too.
136
00:10:06,472 --> 00:10:07,700
Great.
137
00:10:08,374 --> 00:10:12,743
But I still don't know how I feel about
taking Sex Ed from Mrs. Luthor.
138
00:10:12,912 --> 00:10:16,473
- I can't believe Lex is married.
- He says he really loves her.
139
00:10:16,816 --> 00:10:19,944
Yeah, well, love is rarely, if ever, logical.
140
00:10:20,119 --> 00:10:22,417
Maybe they just have the right pheromones.
141
00:10:23,990 --> 00:10:28,256
It's chemistry, Clark.
Some people have it, others don't.
142
00:10:34,066 --> 00:10:36,034
Nice smile. Great.
143
00:10:36,202 --> 00:10:39,569
Quit staring, Clark.
You'll burn your eyes out.
144
00:10:39,739 --> 00:10:41,229
- I was just...
- It's all right.
145
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,671
Desiree's attractive, I understand.
Oh, and thanks again, Clark.
146
00:10:47,446 --> 00:10:50,381
Lex, I gotta tell you,
I was a bit shell-shocked.
147
00:10:50,549 --> 00:10:52,414
You go away on a two-week business trip.
148
00:10:52,585 --> 00:10:55,247
Next thing I know,
my mom's finishing your wedding cake?
149
00:10:55,421 --> 00:10:58,618
Believe me, when I left
I had no intention of falling in love.
150
00:10:58,791 --> 00:11:01,919
I was struggling through
another endless business function...
151
00:11:02,094 --> 00:11:03,994
...when suddenly Desiree was there.
152
00:11:04,664 --> 00:11:07,428
She must have made
quite a first impression.
153
00:11:08,434 --> 00:11:12,666
Actually, she said she'd come to save me.
154
00:11:13,706 --> 00:11:17,836
I thought it was a joke too, that she was
only interested in my name or fortune.
155
00:11:18,010 --> 00:11:21,776
But as the night wore on,
I realized she was different.
156
00:11:23,282 --> 00:11:24,806
It just happened that fast?
157
00:11:25,551 --> 00:11:30,011
You can waste your time playing it safe or
you can go for it. But at some point, Clark...
158
00:11:30,189 --> 00:11:32,885
...you just know when something's right.
159
00:11:44,503 --> 00:11:48,872
And Pete's taping all the Sharks games
for you, so you won't miss a thing...
160
00:11:49,041 --> 00:11:52,272
...though, the way they're playing,
you might want to.
161
00:11:53,612 --> 00:11:56,843
Anyway, I haven't forgotten what
we talked about, so don't worry.
162
00:11:57,016 --> 00:11:58,483
Just come home soon and be safe.
163
00:11:58,751 --> 00:12:01,982
That was great.
Thanks so much for doing this, Clark.
164
00:12:02,154 --> 00:12:04,384
So, what did you and Whitney
talk about, anyway?
165
00:12:04,557 --> 00:12:07,526
Oh, just that he wanted me
to keep an eye on you.
166
00:12:09,695 --> 00:12:12,323
Not that he doesn't trust you...
167
00:12:14,533 --> 00:12:19,061
It's hot. Do you want an iced coffee?
I'm gonna go make an iced coffee.
168
00:12:20,439 --> 00:12:24,899
One of the perks of management,
24-hour access to the cappuccino machine.
169
00:12:28,447 --> 00:12:30,108
So, what did you say to Whitney?
170
00:12:30,282 --> 00:12:34,651
Started my message five or six times, but I
can't finish. There's so much I want to say.
171
00:12:35,087 --> 00:12:37,521
It's not easy being in
a long-distance relationship.
172
00:12:39,024 --> 00:12:40,423
I miss him.
173
00:12:43,062 --> 00:12:46,964
And I'm worried about him,
but it's difficult putting your life on hold.
174
00:12:47,133 --> 00:12:50,694
I'm not sure it was the wisest decision
for either of us.
175
00:12:52,304 --> 00:12:53,635
I get his e-mails.
176
00:12:54,340 --> 00:12:56,535
He's having a really tough time.
177
00:12:56,709 --> 00:13:00,236
First with basic training,
now being shipped out.
178
00:13:00,446 --> 00:13:02,107
He needs someone he can count on.
179
00:13:04,683 --> 00:13:08,915
Besides, I do have you
to look out for me, don't I?
180
00:13:09,088 --> 00:13:11,556
I know I haven't been around much
this summer. Thanks.
181
00:13:11,724 --> 00:13:14,488
But ever since the storm,
the farm has just been a disaster.
182
00:13:14,660 --> 00:13:17,561
Seems like we're all trying
to find our way back from that day.
183
00:13:17,830 --> 00:13:20,765
Except for Lex.
I've never seen him so happy before.
184
00:13:20,933 --> 00:13:22,730
It's kind of weird.
185
00:13:22,902 --> 00:13:24,995
I'm glad I'm not the only one
who thinks that.
186
00:13:25,171 --> 00:13:27,264
Still, you have to admit, it's romantic.
187
00:13:27,973 --> 00:13:31,807
- Well, Lex makes it seem easy.
- Maybe it is.
188
00:13:31,977 --> 00:13:36,073
Lex learned to act on his passion.
Never hold anything back.
189
00:13:36,749 --> 00:13:39,513
I wonder if we'll ever be able
to do the same.
190
00:13:51,730 --> 00:13:55,325
- Clark, what's wrong?
- Just not feeling so well.
191
00:13:58,304 --> 00:14:01,171
Oh, my God, you're burning up.
Let me drive you home.
192
00:14:23,395 --> 00:14:24,726
You okay?
193
00:14:24,897 --> 00:14:28,264
Yeah, I'm fine. What happened?
I'm gonna call 911.
194
00:14:28,434 --> 00:14:30,061
I'm not sure.
195
00:14:37,309 --> 00:14:38,606
Clark?
196
00:14:38,777 --> 00:14:41,507
- I thought you'd be in school already.
- I'm not going.
197
00:14:43,382 --> 00:14:45,577
It happened again at the Talon.
198
00:14:45,751 --> 00:14:47,275
What, another fire?
199
00:14:48,287 --> 00:14:49,686
It was worse than before.
200
00:14:49,855 --> 00:14:54,451
I was afraid it wasn't gonna stop. The fire
department said the fire looked suspicious.
201
00:14:54,627 --> 00:14:55,924
- Come on.
- And they're right.
202
00:14:56,095 --> 00:14:58,689
We both know you didn't mean
to start any of these fires.
203
00:14:58,864 --> 00:15:01,025
Dad, Lana was there.
If I'd have hurt her...
204
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:02,758
Look, son...
205
00:15:03,736 --> 00:15:04,998
Clark.
206
00:15:08,107 --> 00:15:09,699
Hey, come on.
207
00:15:10,409 --> 00:15:11,637
Clark.
208
00:15:13,479 --> 00:15:15,504
Look at me.
209
00:15:15,681 --> 00:15:19,344
Son, I think I have a pretty good idea
of what's triggering this thing.
210
00:15:24,356 --> 00:15:26,449
All right. Rule number one:
211
00:15:26,625 --> 00:15:29,594
Always practice away from the barn.
Come on.
212
00:15:30,462 --> 00:15:32,987
I don't get it. I thought the point
was to stop this from happening.
213
00:15:33,165 --> 00:15:36,931
Well, in order to find the off switch,
first we need to find the on switch, right?
214
00:15:37,102 --> 00:15:38,433
All right.
215
00:15:39,038 --> 00:15:41,506
Now, I want you to remember...
216
00:15:41,674 --> 00:15:45,201
...exactly what you were thinking about
the first time it happened.
217
00:15:50,983 --> 00:15:52,314
Come on.
218
00:15:54,753 --> 00:15:58,245
- Dad, this might be easier if I was...
- Alone. Yeah.
219
00:15:58,691 --> 00:15:59,919
Sorry.
220
00:16:02,695 --> 00:16:03,957
Thanks.
221
00:16:17,776 --> 00:16:19,471
Lana.
222
00:16:43,802 --> 00:16:47,568
Five scarecrows, two water barrels
and our mailbox later...
223
00:16:48,140 --> 00:16:51,166
Dad, you were right.
Once I understood what triggered the heat...
224
00:16:51,343 --> 00:16:53,868
...I was able to control it
without thinking about...
225
00:16:54,046 --> 00:16:55,775
...sex.
226
00:16:58,050 --> 00:16:59,813
- You sure about that, son?
- Trust me.
227
00:16:59,985 --> 00:17:03,751
Next time I have a date, I'll be able to
take her out without setting her on fire.
228
00:17:03,922 --> 00:17:05,048
Well, that's a relief.
229
00:17:05,758 --> 00:17:07,020
I'll be fine.
230
00:17:22,875 --> 00:17:24,433
Hey, Clark, you in here?
231
00:17:26,278 --> 00:17:28,576
It's a little hot in here for candles, Clark.
232
00:17:29,581 --> 00:17:30,912
Mrs. Luthor.
233
00:17:31,683 --> 00:17:35,813
Only at school.
The rest of the time, I prefer "Desiree."
234
00:17:36,355 --> 00:17:38,846
I went by the house, but nobody was home.
235
00:17:39,024 --> 00:17:42,653
- Then I saw the light in the loft.
- Yeah, my parents went into town.
236
00:17:43,028 --> 00:17:45,690
Well, actually I came by to see you.
237
00:17:46,598 --> 00:17:48,156
Really?
238
00:17:51,870 --> 00:17:56,603
You see, most girls like older men,
but not me, I like younger guys.
239
00:17:57,376 --> 00:18:00,834
What they lack in experience,
they make up for in passion.
240
00:18:01,013 --> 00:18:03,345
- Is that right?
- Yeah.
241
00:18:04,349 --> 00:18:07,910
I saw you staring at me
the other day in class.
242
00:18:09,154 --> 00:18:10,849
I'm sorry, I...
243
00:18:12,624 --> 00:18:14,091
No, it's okay.
244
00:18:14,593 --> 00:18:16,254
I was actually flattered.
245
00:18:17,463 --> 00:18:22,457
As a matter of fact, I was hoping we could
work on our student-teacher relations.
246
00:18:25,537 --> 00:18:27,937
You're married to my best friend.
247
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:42,617
Wait.
248
00:18:45,824 --> 00:18:48,190
I don't know
what you expected here tonight.
249
00:18:48,594 --> 00:18:51,654
But Lex is my best friend.
I'm not gonna do anything to hurt him.
250
00:18:52,731 --> 00:18:54,596
I don't know what came over me.
251
00:18:57,202 --> 00:18:59,193
Please don't tell Lex about this, okay?
252
00:19:01,807 --> 00:19:03,968
I am so sorry.
253
00:19:15,988 --> 00:19:18,752
Oh, so the new Mrs. Luthor has an alias.
That's interesting.
254
00:19:19,858 --> 00:19:22,588
You know, what would you say...
255
00:19:22,761 --> 00:19:26,219
...if I told you Ms. Atkins,
a.k.a. Alison Sanders...
256
00:19:26,398 --> 00:19:29,299
...showed up at my loft last night...
257
00:19:29,468 --> 00:19:31,493
...and tried to seduce me?
258
00:19:32,304 --> 00:19:36,604
I'd say you were living the voyeuristic
fantasy of every male student in this school.
259
00:19:36,775 --> 00:19:40,802
Clark, she just married Lex. Why would
she possibly be interested in you?
260
00:19:41,914 --> 00:19:43,176
Thanks.
261
00:19:44,149 --> 00:19:45,446
Look, she was dissing Lex...
262
00:19:45,617 --> 00:19:48,381
...saying he was the only thing
standing between her and me.
263
00:19:48,854 --> 00:19:52,483
Okay, this is quickly going from merely
nauseating to genuinely disturbing.
264
00:19:52,658 --> 00:19:55,183
I'm not making it up.
She has some strange hold on Lex.
265
00:19:55,360 --> 00:19:56,918
Gee, I wonder what that could be.
266
00:19:58,263 --> 00:20:00,697
I'm serious.
It's more than the fact that she's hot.
267
00:20:00,866 --> 00:20:03,767
Clark, this is Lex Luthor we're talking about.
268
00:20:03,936 --> 00:20:07,997
Don't you think he considered all of the
unfortunate possibilities before saying "I do"?
269
00:20:08,407 --> 00:20:12,241
I don't know, but I'm gonna find out.
I'm gonna talk to him. Will you keep digging?
270
00:20:12,578 --> 00:20:16,912
Yeah, sure. Where there's smoke,
there's fire. Excuse the aphorism.
271
00:20:24,623 --> 00:20:27,319
Clark, I've been expecting you.
272
00:20:27,993 --> 00:20:29,255
Really?
273
00:20:30,028 --> 00:20:33,156
You can save the awkward silences.
Desiree told me everything.
274
00:20:33,932 --> 00:20:35,695
Lex, I really don't know what to say.
275
00:20:36,768 --> 00:20:40,295
All my life, I've had to second-guess
the intentions of others.
276
00:20:41,173 --> 00:20:45,507
I'd reached the point where I started to
think friends were a luxury I couldn't afford.
277
00:20:46,144 --> 00:20:48,112
Till I met you, Clark.
278
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:52,273
From the day you pulled me out of the river,
you've been the one person I could trust.
279
00:20:53,585 --> 00:20:55,314
I'm glad you feel that way, Lex.
280
00:20:56,121 --> 00:20:59,386
Maybe that's why I find your infatuation
with my wife so troubling.
281
00:20:59,558 --> 00:21:00,923
My infatuation?
282
00:21:03,195 --> 00:21:06,221
Lex, I don't know what she told you,
but she came on to me.
283
00:21:06,398 --> 00:21:08,059
You expect me to believe that?
284
00:21:08,734 --> 00:21:12,226
Come on, I saw the way
you looked at her the other day.
285
00:21:12,404 --> 00:21:16,067
- She told me you'd been eyeing her in class.
- No, Lex, you have to see this.
286
00:21:16,575 --> 00:21:20,306
Your wife's real name is Alison Sanders.
She grew up in Smallville.
287
00:21:20,479 --> 00:21:22,640
I bet she didn't tell you that, did she?
288
00:21:24,483 --> 00:21:25,745
No.
289
00:21:25,917 --> 00:21:28,818
If she didn't tell the truth about that,
how can you believe...?
290
00:21:28,987 --> 00:21:31,012
She's my wife, and I love her.
291
00:21:33,792 --> 00:21:37,284
To be honest, I was hoping for an apology,
not more insinuations.
292
00:21:37,462 --> 00:21:40,329
- I thought our friendship meant more to you.
- It does.
293
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,459
You can let yourself out.
294
00:21:54,479 --> 00:21:57,710
I don't know what you're doing to Lex,
but I'm not dropping this.
295
00:22:01,987 --> 00:22:04,956
I'm sorry, Lex,
that must have been difficult.
296
00:22:05,157 --> 00:22:06,385
Can you explain this?
297
00:22:14,966 --> 00:22:17,025
Clark's right, I changed my name.
298
00:22:20,939 --> 00:22:24,033
But I changed it again yesterday to "Luthor."
299
00:22:25,277 --> 00:22:27,177
That's all that really matters, isn't it?
300
00:22:28,313 --> 00:22:31,578
I just don't understand
why you would keep this from me.
301
00:22:34,486 --> 00:22:37,148
You know, it seems to me...
302
00:22:37,322 --> 00:22:40,450
...that I haven't had a kiss
from my husband in...
303
00:22:40,625 --> 00:22:42,320
...I don't know, at least six hours.
304
00:22:42,494 --> 00:22:45,258
Desiree, we really need to discuss this.
305
00:23:02,714 --> 00:23:04,841
Clark is part of your past.
306
00:23:05,617 --> 00:23:08,051
Just like everyone else in this town.
307
00:23:09,254 --> 00:23:11,085
You don't need them, Lex.
308
00:23:12,424 --> 00:23:14,415
We don't need them.
309
00:23:16,561 --> 00:23:18,290
Maybe you're right.
310
00:23:18,997 --> 00:23:20,624
So remember, keep your head down.
311
00:23:20,799 --> 00:23:23,927
I'm counting on an exclusive interview
from you when you get back.
312
00:23:24,770 --> 00:23:27,102
- That was great, Chloe.
- Thank you.
313
00:23:27,305 --> 00:23:29,773
Oh, and thanks for the quid pro quo.
Now I can move...
314
00:23:29,941 --> 00:23:33,240
...the library-gets-a-new-paint-job spread
to page two.
315
00:23:34,246 --> 00:23:37,647
So it must have been fun,
spending the entire summer in Metropolis.
316
00:23:39,017 --> 00:23:40,985
Yeah, it was really nice to get away.
317
00:23:41,153 --> 00:23:44,884
Sometimes a little distance can give you
a new perspective on things you've done.
318
00:23:45,056 --> 00:23:46,284
Mistakes you've made.
319
00:23:46,725 --> 00:23:49,592
Going to the spring formal with Clark
was not a mistake.
320
00:23:51,797 --> 00:23:56,257
Yeah, it was. I let myself indulge in my
feelings for him, and I ended up getting hurt.
321
00:23:57,669 --> 00:24:00,433
At least you were brave enough
to take the risk.
322
00:24:01,506 --> 00:24:03,804
Oh, yeah, that's me. Cupid's cannon fodder.
323
00:24:06,044 --> 00:24:08,569
Three months.
I thought I'd be over it by now.
324
00:24:08,747 --> 00:24:11,648
But when I saw him in the hall,
all those feelings came back.
325
00:24:11,983 --> 00:24:14,918
I even made up a lame story
about meeting a guy in Metropolis...
326
00:24:15,086 --> 00:24:17,213
...to try and get a rise out of him.
327
00:24:19,691 --> 00:24:22,125
Clark still really cares about you, Chloe.
328
00:24:23,195 --> 00:24:24,628
I know.
329
00:24:24,796 --> 00:24:26,593
But he cares about you more.
330
00:24:27,632 --> 00:24:30,931
I don't want Clark
to come between our friendship.
331
00:24:31,770 --> 00:24:34,466
Me neither.
So, what are we going to do about that?
332
00:24:34,639 --> 00:24:38,905
Let's define ourselves by what we do,
not who we date.
333
00:24:39,211 --> 00:24:40,508
Or don't date.
334
00:24:41,813 --> 00:24:43,041
Cool.
335
00:24:43,715 --> 00:24:45,205
Lana.
336
00:24:45,383 --> 00:24:46,975
We need to talk.
337
00:24:48,453 --> 00:24:50,683
I have to get some work done
at the Torch.
338
00:24:50,856 --> 00:24:52,187
All right, see you.
339
00:24:52,757 --> 00:24:56,022
I'm really glad to see you.
I just got the final insurance adjustments.
340
00:24:56,194 --> 00:24:59,357
Once you countersign,
we can get started on the repairs.
341
00:25:03,034 --> 00:25:04,558
Lex, I don't understand.
342
00:25:04,736 --> 00:25:05,998
It's not complicated.
343
00:25:06,171 --> 00:25:09,572
I've decided to invoke the buy-out clause
of our partnership agreement.
344
00:25:11,643 --> 00:25:14,134
This gives me 24 hours
to vacate the premises.
345
00:25:14,312 --> 00:25:18,806
That's right. I've decided to re-assess
my business relationships.
346
00:25:18,984 --> 00:25:21,111
The Talon's no longer a good fit.
347
00:25:22,387 --> 00:25:25,220
This isn't fair. The Talon has always
carried its own weight.
348
00:25:25,390 --> 00:25:27,824
Breaking even isn't my idea
of a good business model.
349
00:25:27,993 --> 00:25:29,358
And frankly...
350
00:25:29,528 --> 00:25:33,396
...I question the judgment of a partner who
causes thousands of dollars in damage...
351
00:25:33,565 --> 00:25:37,126
...while entertaining friends after hours.
- I was here with Clark.
352
00:25:37,302 --> 00:25:42,365
My faith in Clark evaporated along with
my enthusiasm for the coffee-shop business.
353
00:25:51,283 --> 00:25:52,511
Lana, what's wrong?
354
00:25:53,752 --> 00:25:56,220
- I've just been evicted from the Talon.
- What?
355
00:25:56,555 --> 00:25:59,217
Lex is using the fire to justify
taking back the building.
356
00:26:00,458 --> 00:26:02,449
No, he can't do that. It wasn't your fault.
357
00:26:02,627 --> 00:26:05,255
He knows that.
He was just looking for an excuse.
358
00:26:05,430 --> 00:26:08,365
People warned me
about doing business with him.
359
00:26:08,533 --> 00:26:11,400
When I saw how hard he fought
to keep the plant open...
360
00:26:11,570 --> 00:26:14,130
...I actually thought he'd changed.
361
00:26:14,573 --> 00:26:17,974
Lana, you brought the Talon back
from nothing. It means everything to you.
362
00:26:18,677 --> 00:26:21,612
And this proves it was never really mine.
363
00:26:38,697 --> 00:26:40,460
Hello, Clark.
364
00:26:40,999 --> 00:26:43,263
Lana looked upset.
Did she tell you what happened?
365
00:26:43,435 --> 00:26:46,632
Yeah, she mentioned that Lex
is closing the Talon, and somehow...
366
00:26:46,805 --> 00:26:49,239
...I think it wasn't completely his decision.
367
00:26:49,407 --> 00:26:50,806
Well, you're right.
368
00:26:50,976 --> 00:26:53,376
We made the decision as a couple.
369
00:26:53,945 --> 00:26:55,742
I wanted to prove a point.
370
00:26:55,914 --> 00:26:57,711
To who? Lana?
371
00:26:58,617 --> 00:27:00,016
No, Clark, to you.
372
00:27:02,153 --> 00:27:04,621
I want you to understand something.
373
00:27:05,390 --> 00:27:07,881
I can control the people in your life.
374
00:27:08,593 --> 00:27:12,085
I had Lex close down the Talon in
a heartbeat. Imagine what would happen...
375
00:27:12,263 --> 00:27:15,664
...if I turned him against this town,
your friends...
376
00:27:16,201 --> 00:27:18,761
...or even your parents.
- I won't let you do that.
377
00:27:18,970 --> 00:27:22,804
You want this to stop?
Then stay out of our lives.
378
00:27:22,974 --> 00:27:24,601
I'm not gonna back off.
379
00:27:27,278 --> 00:27:29,439
And I'll find a way to get through to Lex.
380
00:28:18,263 --> 00:28:21,357
Clark, why didn't you tell us
about this earlier?
381
00:28:21,666 --> 00:28:24,692
I didn't know what to say.
I guess I was embarrassed.
382
00:28:24,869 --> 00:28:28,327
I don't know what we can do about
the Talon. It's not against the law...
383
00:28:28,506 --> 00:28:30,906
...to talk your husband into
a bad business decision.
384
00:28:31,076 --> 00:28:33,510
No, but trying to seduce a teenage boy is.
385
00:28:33,678 --> 00:28:35,976
I'm calling the school board
in the morning...
386
00:28:36,147 --> 00:28:38,206
...and getting this woman suspended.
387
00:28:39,184 --> 00:28:40,617
Yeah.
388
00:28:42,620 --> 00:28:44,451
Ethan. Come on in.
389
00:28:47,525 --> 00:28:48,822
What brings you out here?
390
00:28:48,993 --> 00:28:51,223
A teacher down at the high school,
Mrs. Luthor...
391
00:28:51,396 --> 00:28:53,694
...claims she saw Clark set her car on fire.
392
00:28:53,865 --> 00:28:56,527
That's three suspicious fires
in as many days, Clark.
393
00:28:56,701 --> 00:29:00,102
I'm afraid I'm gonna have to take you
into custody until we sort this out.
394
00:29:00,271 --> 00:29:02,034
- Mom, Dad, this is a mistake.
- We know.
395
00:29:02,207 --> 00:29:05,108
Clark, I want you to do what Ethan says.
396
00:29:05,877 --> 00:29:07,674
We'll figure this thing out, I promise.
397
00:29:07,846 --> 00:29:09,541
Just turn around, son.
398
00:29:18,957 --> 00:29:21,721
That's right, I'm selling the building
and everything in it.
399
00:29:21,893 --> 00:29:25,329
Talk to our people in Metropolis
about a price and get back to me.
400
00:29:26,064 --> 00:29:27,861
Mrs. Kent.
401
00:29:28,733 --> 00:29:30,098
I was looking for Nell.
402
00:29:30,635 --> 00:29:33,297
She just left.
I believe she's arranging for the movers.
403
00:29:33,505 --> 00:29:36,736
- Well, I hope I didn't disturb you.
- Mrs. Kent.
404
00:29:37,408 --> 00:29:39,638
I am truly sorry about Clark.
405
00:29:39,978 --> 00:29:41,502
Are you, Lex?
406
00:29:51,156 --> 00:29:54,284
My son is in jail,
and your wife put him there.
407
00:29:54,559 --> 00:29:56,356
Maybe these fires were a cry for help.
408
00:29:56,528 --> 00:29:59,224
Is that you talking,
or is Mrs. Luthor talking through you?
409
00:29:59,397 --> 00:30:01,797
I'd never ask you to take sides
against your husband.
410
00:30:01,966 --> 00:30:03,695
Please don't ask me to doubt my wife.
411
00:30:03,868 --> 00:30:08,532
Any good relationship relies on trust,
but there has to be room to disagree.
412
00:30:08,706 --> 00:30:10,936
Like the way Jonathan and I
disagreed about you.
413
00:30:11,342 --> 00:30:13,071
He couldn't see past the Luthor name.
414
00:30:13,244 --> 00:30:16,008
I always thought
you were truly trying to be Clark's friend.
415
00:30:16,181 --> 00:30:18,581
I'm beginning to think Jonathan
was right all along.
416
00:30:18,750 --> 00:30:21,150
Believe me,
I never wanted it to come to this.
417
00:30:21,352 --> 00:30:22,876
You know Clark.
418
00:30:23,054 --> 00:30:24,681
He's not a criminal.
419
00:30:24,923 --> 00:30:28,586
He's the one person
who's stood by you no matter what.
420
00:30:28,793 --> 00:30:31,591
Ask yourself,
is he really capable of this?
421
00:30:31,963 --> 00:30:33,760
I wouldn't have thought so.
422
00:30:33,932 --> 00:30:36,594
- But I know Desiree.
- Lex...
423
00:30:36,768 --> 00:30:39,794
...you met and married her in a week.
424
00:30:40,004 --> 00:30:42,131
How well could you know her?
425
00:30:50,148 --> 00:30:51,672
Mrs...
426
00:31:10,168 --> 00:31:12,602
Oh, hello, Mr. Kent.
427
00:31:17,508 --> 00:31:20,705
- Are you here to talk about Clark?
- Yes, I am.
428
00:31:20,879 --> 00:31:24,610
And I would prefer to do it fully clothed,
if you don't mind.
429
00:31:25,583 --> 00:31:26,948
Sure.
430
00:31:29,721 --> 00:31:32,019
I'm sorry about your son...
431
00:31:32,190 --> 00:31:33,418
...Mr. Kent.
432
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,695
But you should take this as a warning sign.
433
00:31:38,863 --> 00:31:41,354
Your son is a seriously troubled
young man.
434
00:31:41,532 --> 00:31:43,124
And just how do you figure that?
435
00:31:45,336 --> 00:31:47,031
Isn't it obvious?
436
00:31:47,372 --> 00:31:50,535
He starts fires, then he takes credit
for putting them out.
437
00:31:50,708 --> 00:31:53,700
He told me that he was nowhere
near your car, and I believe him.
438
00:31:55,013 --> 00:31:57,447
Your son is lying to you.
I'm sorry.
439
00:31:57,916 --> 00:32:00,749
You know, I thought I could come out here
and reason with you.
440
00:32:00,919 --> 00:32:03,046
But clearly I was mistaken.
441
00:32:05,223 --> 00:32:06,986
Mr. Kent, wait.
442
00:32:07,725 --> 00:32:09,386
Please, I'm sorry.
443
00:32:10,194 --> 00:32:12,094
You're right about everything.
444
00:32:13,531 --> 00:32:15,897
This all has to do with Lex.
445
00:32:16,167 --> 00:32:18,931
This has got nothing to do
with your husband, Lex Luthor.
446
00:32:30,315 --> 00:32:33,079
I need you to do something for me first.
447
00:32:39,123 --> 00:32:41,523
Sorry we didn't have time
to bake a file into a cake.
448
00:32:41,693 --> 00:32:42,990
How are you holding up?
449
00:32:43,161 --> 00:32:45,493
Besides being accused of
being a serial arsonist...
450
00:32:45,663 --> 00:32:48,860
...and trying to sleep with
my best friend's wife, I'm great.
451
00:32:49,233 --> 00:32:52,293
We've got good news. Chloe followed up
on your Alison Sanders clue.
452
00:32:52,470 --> 00:32:54,267
Apparently our vixen known as Alison...
453
00:32:54,439 --> 00:32:57,135
...was popular with the Smallville boys
even as a teenager.
454
00:32:57,308 --> 00:32:59,469
She was with her boyfriend
when the meteors hit.
455
00:32:59,644 --> 00:33:03,580
The Ledger article doesn't say, but let your
mind wander as to what they were doing.
456
00:33:03,748 --> 00:33:07,377
Few weeks later, he lost it and murdered
her parents. She inherited everything.
457
00:33:07,552 --> 00:33:09,952
Fast-forward five years.
Desiree is now a teacher.
458
00:33:10,121 --> 00:33:12,715
She marries a wealthy executive,
only to see him offed...
459
00:33:12,890 --> 00:33:15,120
...by one of her moonstruck
high-school students.
460
00:33:15,293 --> 00:33:18,751
- Same confession and denial six hours later.
- The classic black-widow scenario.
461
00:33:18,930 --> 00:33:21,694
Only, after murder two,
this black widow had the misfortune...
462
00:33:21,866 --> 00:33:23,731
...of being heavily invested in dot-coms.
463
00:33:23,901 --> 00:33:26,369
After she lost the money,
she decided to go after Lex.
464
00:33:26,537 --> 00:33:28,801
So she tried to seduce me to kill him.
465
00:33:28,973 --> 00:33:30,600
Well, why'd she think I'd do it?
466
00:33:30,808 --> 00:33:33,038
- Pheromones.
- Chloe.
467
00:33:33,211 --> 00:33:36,703
Clark, she was in the throes
of major passion when the meteors hit.
468
00:33:36,881 --> 00:33:41,147
If her pheromone levels were enhanced, she
could get a guy to do whatever she wants.
469
00:33:41,486 --> 00:33:43,579
Lucky for us,
Clark Kent seems to be immune...
470
00:33:43,755 --> 00:33:46,189
...to some members of the opposite sex.
471
00:33:51,996 --> 00:33:53,861
Time's up, girls.
472
00:33:55,233 --> 00:33:56,427
Okay.
473
00:33:56,601 --> 00:33:59,536
Hey, my dad went to go see Desiree.
I gotta get out of here.
474
00:33:59,737 --> 00:34:01,102
Just hang on, okay?
475
00:34:18,523 --> 00:34:19,785
Hold it.
476
00:34:27,398 --> 00:34:29,263
We've gotta get you out of here, Clark.
477
00:34:29,434 --> 00:34:31,026
Stay close to me.
478
00:34:33,671 --> 00:34:34,899
Clark!
479
00:34:44,282 --> 00:34:46,079
We need to talk.
480
00:34:46,517 --> 00:34:48,508
Is something wrong?
481
00:34:48,686 --> 00:34:50,586
I'm not sure.
482
00:34:51,622 --> 00:34:54,750
I know love is supposed to be blind...
483
00:34:54,926 --> 00:34:59,659
...but since meeting you, I feel like I've lost
all sense of reason regarding my friends...
484
00:34:59,831 --> 00:35:02,322
...my business,
and suddenly I don't know why.
485
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:06,429
Well, it's too late for second thoughts, Lex.
The papers have been finalized.
486
00:35:06,604 --> 00:35:08,401
Everything you have is mine.
487
00:35:09,907 --> 00:35:12,569
You only inherit in the event of my death.
488
00:35:17,915 --> 00:35:19,610
Are you planning to kill me?
489
00:35:20,651 --> 00:35:21,948
No.
490
00:35:27,825 --> 00:35:29,156
He is.
491
00:35:35,733 --> 00:35:37,462
I know you, Mr. Kent.
492
00:35:38,269 --> 00:35:40,237
You're not a murderer. Please...
493
00:35:41,439 --> 00:35:43,236
...put the gun down.
494
00:35:45,910 --> 00:35:48,811
I'm not letting you add Desiree's name
to your list of victims.
495
00:35:48,980 --> 00:35:51,710
She's using you. Whatever she told you,
it's not true.
496
00:35:55,786 --> 00:35:57,151
Dad, don't!
497
00:36:29,987 --> 00:36:31,477
- Dad, you can't do this.
- Clark!
498
00:36:34,458 --> 00:36:35,823
Dad, you okay?
499
00:36:52,076 --> 00:36:53,270
God!
500
00:37:27,878 --> 00:37:29,209
Thanks, Clark.
501
00:37:29,647 --> 00:37:30,875
It's good to have you back.
502
00:37:31,048 --> 00:37:33,516
Well, it's nice to see something
other than jail food.
503
00:37:33,684 --> 00:37:37,745
Well, I just got off the phone with Ethan.
After Lex's statement, the arson...
504
00:37:38,422 --> 00:37:40,413
The arson charges have been dropped.
505
00:37:40,591 --> 00:37:43,560
And from what Ethan said,
I think we've seen the last of Desiree.
506
00:37:44,395 --> 00:37:45,692
What about my escape?
507
00:37:45,896 --> 00:37:49,229
Considering your age and the fact
that you did save Lex Luthor's life...
508
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,096
...they're willing to let you off
with a stern warning.
509
00:37:53,904 --> 00:37:55,735
We're very lucky this time, son.
510
00:37:57,775 --> 00:38:00,369
Did Lex say anything about what happened?
511
00:38:01,379 --> 00:38:04,007
I think we'd both like
to put that way behind us.
512
00:38:05,249 --> 00:38:08,150
And now, Mrs. Kent,
if you are finished here...
513
00:38:08,319 --> 00:38:10,287
...I would like to take you out to dinner.
514
00:38:10,454 --> 00:38:12,285
Solo, if you don't mind, Clark.
515
00:38:12,823 --> 00:38:14,450
I don't mind.
516
00:38:27,872 --> 00:38:29,169
Clark.
517
00:38:29,874 --> 00:38:31,307
I was hoping I'd find you.
518
00:38:31,475 --> 00:38:34,000
Hey, Lex. How you feeling?
519
00:38:34,545 --> 00:38:37,343
Like I'm waking up from a bad dream.
520
00:38:38,282 --> 00:38:41,342
- You really loved her, didn't you?
- I thought I did.
521
00:38:42,887 --> 00:38:47,586
I filed for an annulment, which my lawyers
tell me should be final in a couple days.
522
00:38:47,758 --> 00:38:50,283
I'll let the police deal with Desiree.
523
00:38:50,461 --> 00:38:54,056
- And when that's finished?
- I'll try to be more cautious.
524
00:38:54,999 --> 00:38:57,331
I let my passion get the best of me.
525
00:38:57,501 --> 00:38:59,469
I won't make that mistake again.
526
00:39:00,738 --> 00:39:04,765
Lex, I don't think having passion
is such a bad thing.
527
00:39:04,942 --> 00:39:06,500
You're right, Clark.
528
00:39:06,677 --> 00:39:09,544
Passion for life and work
and friends is great.
529
00:39:09,714 --> 00:39:12,182
As long as you keep it in check.
530
00:39:12,583 --> 00:39:14,551
I should take a page out of your book.
531
00:39:15,052 --> 00:39:16,314
How do you mean?
532
00:39:16,721 --> 00:39:18,348
The way you deal with Lana.
533
00:39:18,522 --> 00:39:20,854
I've always told you to go for it,
but you don't...
534
00:39:21,025 --> 00:39:23,493
...even now that the quarterback's
out of the picture.
535
00:39:23,661 --> 00:39:25,595
I want to, believe me.
536
00:39:25,763 --> 00:39:29,494
But Lana needs to work out her feelings
for Whitney first.
537
00:39:29,667 --> 00:39:31,498
I can wait.
538
00:39:31,669 --> 00:39:33,364
Don't wait too long.
539
00:39:40,010 --> 00:39:44,674
Hi, Whitney. I've been trying to get
this done, but it's been a crazy week.
540
00:39:45,015 --> 00:39:47,483
Still, in a way, I'm glad...
541
00:39:47,685 --> 00:39:51,917
...because it's given me the chance
to think about what I need to say.
542
00:40:02,433 --> 00:40:03,991
- Hey, Clark.
- Hi, Lana.
543
00:40:04,168 --> 00:40:07,228
- Thought I'd help with the repairs.
- Thanks.
544
00:40:07,405 --> 00:40:10,499
Good news is, I think we're
almost ready for our grand reopening.
545
00:40:10,674 --> 00:40:12,335
What's the bad news?
546
00:40:12,510 --> 00:40:15,377
I still can't figure out how to use
the new espresso machine.
547
00:40:16,247 --> 00:40:17,544
Looks very...
548
00:40:17,715 --> 00:40:19,615
...Italian.
- It's a gift from Lex.
549
00:40:19,850 --> 00:40:23,013
Along with roses and an offer to rework
our partnership agreement...
550
00:40:23,187 --> 00:40:25,553
...so that this could never happen again.
551
00:40:25,723 --> 00:40:28,283
Lex told me what happened
with Ms. Atkins and your dad.
552
00:40:29,093 --> 00:40:30,720
It's lucky you were there.
553
00:40:32,062 --> 00:40:35,520
It's funny how she managed
to seduce everyone but you.
554
00:40:36,467 --> 00:40:38,697
Yeah, I guess she just wasn't my type.
555
00:40:39,570 --> 00:40:42,539
And the jailhouse,
how did you manage your escape?
556
00:40:43,073 --> 00:40:46,406
There was a fire. The sheriff opened
the door. I just made a run for it.
557
00:40:46,777 --> 00:40:49,746
Three fires. You were there all three times.
558
00:40:52,249 --> 00:40:53,511
Weird coincidence, huh?
559
00:40:54,618 --> 00:40:57,212
Or just part of the mystery
that is Clark Kent.
560
00:41:01,258 --> 00:41:03,385
How's it going with the tape
for Whitney?
561
00:41:05,396 --> 00:41:07,626
I decided to tell him how I really feel.
562
00:41:08,632 --> 00:41:10,930
What happened to putting on a brave face?
563
00:41:11,769 --> 00:41:15,136
Wasn't fair to either of us.
I haven't been honest about my feelings.
564
00:41:16,841 --> 00:41:19,674
I know it's gonna hurt,
and my timing is crummy...
565
00:41:20,344 --> 00:41:24,804
...but having a relationship that's built
on secrets and lies is doomed to fail.
566
00:41:29,854 --> 00:41:31,981
Don't you think so, Clark?
567
00:41:33,724 --> 00:41:35,021
Absolutely.
568
00:41:38,028 --> 00:41:41,896
Looks like the heat wave's
finally broken. I'm glad.
569
00:41:42,066 --> 00:41:44,694
Yeah, me too.
570
00:41:45,569 --> 00:41:47,230
I should let you finish.
571
00:41:52,676 --> 00:41:53,904
Bye, Lana.
572
00:41:55,479 --> 00:41:57,140
Bye.
573
00:42:18,769 --> 00:42:20,703
Whitney.
574
00:42:20,871 --> 00:42:23,635
I care about you very much.
575
00:42:23,807 --> 00:42:26,207
And I always will.
576
00:42:28,012 --> 00:42:31,209
But we promised that
we'd be honest with each other.
577
00:42:31,382 --> 00:42:33,316
And the truth is...
578
00:42:34,000 --> 00:41:39,000
