Original Air Date: September 29, 2004

Clark (Tom Welling) and Lois Lane (Erica Durance) investigate Chloe’s (Allison Mack) apparent murder, but are stopped by an army officer, General Sam Lane (guest star Michael Ironside), who turns out to be Lois’ father. Lois suspects that Sam knows more about Chloe’s death than he will admit, and Clark discovers that Sam has recently been in contact with Lex (Michael Rosembaum). Jason (Jensen Ackles) arrives from Paris and convinces Lana (Kristin Kreuk) to continue their relationship. Suspecting that Chloe is still alive, Lionel (John Glover) sends an assassin with the power to morph his limbs into metallic weapons to keep Chloe from testifying against him.

Clark: I know you find it
hard to believe, but trust me. Chloe’s not buried in that grave.

Lois: How do you know that? Look, I want her back more than
anyone, but don’t you think your hunch is a rung on the whole grief
ladder?

Clark: None of this would’ve happened if I had been there.

Lois: [to Clark] Nothing like a little “North by Northwest”
action to get the blood pumping, huh?

Lana: Let’s just say that I felt as though something was
calling me home.

Lex: A little cryptic, but I’ll take it.

Lois: Really? You two?

Clark: We never…

Lana: Not really.

Clark: …had a thing.

Lana: It’s complicated.

Lois: Clark?

[Clark looks at Lois, but says nothing.]

Lois: Wow, she didn’t take any prisoners, did she? [Clark
doesn't understand.] Lana? Cute, smart, gutsy… and way too much
for you to handle. I can see why you’re in love with her.

Clark: Look, you’re really not the person I want to talk to
about this.

Lois: Suit yourself.

Clark: [to Lois, about Lana] I just don’t understand how you
could feel like you know someone so completely, like you know
everything about them, and then just all of a sudden…

Lois: You don’t even know what continent they’re on.

Clark: Do you always have to finish people’s thoughts?

Lois: Well, am I right?

Sam: Drop it, Lo.

Lois: Why? I’m obviously onto something here. You wouldn’t be
calling out the birds if I was late for dinner.

Lex: Does this mean you’re talking to me again?

Clark: [cold] Only because I don’t have a choice.

Lex: Relegated from friend to last resort…. I guess I’ll
have to accept it if it’s my only chance to prove myself.

Lex: [on the phone] Give me General Lane.

Clark: Chloe. I was afraid I’d lost you.

Chloe: [surprised] Lois? Lois, what are you doing here? Lois!

[They hug.]

Lois: Putting the worst two months of my life behind me.

Lois: [to Chloe] I am so glad I found you.

Clark: “I”?

Chloe: Yeah. Because tomorrow morning in court, I’m gonna
kick Lionel Luthor’s butt.

Lana: [to Clark] It’s funny, isn’t it. After everything we’ve
been through, I thought it would take us longer to get over it.

Clark: Us?

Lana: You and Lois.

Clark: Lois?

[After a moment...]

Clark: She’s bossy.

[Lana smiles at Clark's protest. He continues.]

Clark: She’s stuck up, she’s rude. I can’t stand her.

Lana: [smiling] The best ones always start that way.

Lionel: Well done, Lex. [turns]… but wasn’t it you who
warned me: don’t wound what you cannot kill?

Lana: Jason, I’m not sorry to see you. You know, it’s just,
you came all this way, and I-I wish I had a better explanation for
you.

Jason: For why you left Paris or why you left me?

Lana: You know how I feel about you. That hasn’t changed. But
I can’t go back.

Jason: Lana, I didn’t come here to get you. I came here to be
with you.

Clark: I don’t want to.

Lana: But you can’t escape it, can you? Even if you don’t know what it is yet?
