DC COMICS’ CHARACTER MARTIAN MANHUNTER COMES TO CLARK’S AID - Clark (Tom Welling) is attacked and wakes up in a mental asylum where the attending physician, Dr. Hudson (guest star), tells him he has been there for five years due to his elaborate fantasy that he has alien superpowers. In this new world, Martha (Annette O’Toole) is married to Lionel Luthor (John Glover), Chloe (Allison Mack) is deemed insane and Lana (Kristin Kreuk) chose Clark over Lex (Michael Rosenbaum). Lana begs Clark to agree to Dr. Hudson’s treatments so they can be together, but when a fellow patient named John, A.K.A Martian Manhunter (guest star Phil Morris), tells him the good doctor is actually a phantom and he needs to kill him in order to return to reality, Clark must make the toughest decision of his life.

Clark: You’re sure I was only out for a second.
Chloe: I was walking from my car when I heard you fall, and by the time I got to the barn, you were on your feet.
Clark: It felt like a lifetime.
Chloe: I got to give the phantom props, dangling the Lana carrot is a pretty tempting offer. But he clearly has never come across the steel will of Clark Kent.
Clark: Chloe, you don’t understand. I almost gave up everything and everyone that I care about…for Lana.
Chloe: Wait a second. Based on pending nuptials, I thought Lana was past tense.
Clark: So did I. The truth is, I still love her (Lana).
Chloe: I guess Kryptonite wasn’t your only weakness. So, who was I in your alternate universe? Editor in Chief of the Daily Planet, or a Pulitzer Prized winner, maybe?
Clark: Something like that, yeah. The important part is…you were the one person who believed in me. I don’t know what I’d do without you, Chloe.
Chloe: Oh, is this when I’m supposed to cue the Barry Manilow music?
Clark: No, seriously. You mean a lot more to me than you know.
Lana: What’s that look in your eye?
Clark: I had a dream about you last night.
Lana : Well, I hope that it wasn’t a nightmare.
Clark: No… we were ten-years-old and I gave you a plastic ring from a gumball machine.
Lana: That’s sweet… What was the occasion?
Clark: It was an engagement ring.
Lana: …What happened next…?
Clark: …I woke up…
