Episode 2.22 - Calling

Written By: Kenneth Biller
Directed by: Terrence O’Hara
Original Air Date: May 13, 2003

Dr. Walden (guest star Rob Labelle) wakes up from his coma and tells Lex (Michael Rosenbaum) and Lionel (John Glover) that Clark (Tom Welling) is an alien and must be destroyed. Meanwhile, a romantic encounter between Clark and Lana (Kristin Kreuk) hints at a promising future, but after Chloe (Allison Mack) finds out they are together, Lana pulls back.

“Everything To Me” by Elza — Heard playing in the Talon, where Chloe asks Lana why she was up so late, and it becomes clear that she was spending time with Clark, though Clark and Lana both try not to tell Chloe just then.

“Telling You Now” by Jessy Moss — Played during the Helen and Lana scene. Helen talks about secrets and the effects they can have on relationships.

“Signs of Love” by Moby — Played during Lex and Helen’s rehearsal dinner.

“Wastin’ My Time” by Boomkat — Played during the scene when Chloe is alone at the Torch, looking through her Spring Formal pictures. Enter Lionel Luther.

“In This Life” by Chantal Kreviazuk — Played at the end of the episode when Clark tells Lana that he doesn’t want to keep his feelings for her a secret, which leads to the two kissing. The camera pulls back to reveal Chloe, who sees Clark and Lana together, and cannot help but cry.

Lana: [to Clark] Maybe some of us want to celebrate the
day you came into our lives.

Lex: I just wanted to ask you and Mr. Kent for a favor… I know we’ve
had our differences, so this might sound strange, but it would mean a lot to me.
It’s customary for the, uh, bride and groom to sit with their parents at the
rehearsal dinner so… since mine won’t be there, I was wondering… would the
two of you consider standing in?

Jonathan: Lex, we would be honored.

Pete: Everybody okay?

Clark: Yeah.

Chloe: Great.

Lana: Perfect.

Pete: Just checking.

Chloe: Right. Well, we better get going. I have ashes to sweep and wicked
stepsisters to undermine.

Helen: Mr. Kent, Lex is not the man you think he is.

Jonathan: Considering the fact that you are about to spend the rest of
your life with that man and what you know about my family, you had better be
right.

Lex: Clark. None of us really understand the fairer sex. That’s why we’re
so captivated by them.

Lex: She wanted to pretend it never happened? You’ve upped the stakes,
Clark, and she’s scared. She figures if she folds now she’ll cut her losses.

Clark: But we’re meant to be together. I’ve never been so sure about
anything in my life.

Lex: Yeah, well, don’t tell me, Clark. Tell her.

Lionel: Can I ask you a question, Helen?… Why are you marrying Lex?

Helen: Because I love him.

Lionel: Hmm.

Jonathan: What does it say now, son?

Clark: “The day is coming when the last son will begin his quest to
rule the third planet.”

Jonathan: Clark–

Clark: Don’t you see? I’m the last son.

Walden: “The last son will rule the planet.” Don’t you see?
It’s Clark Kent!

Chloe: I just feel like there’s this huge rift between us and no matter
how hard I try, I can’t get back to you.

Clark: We’ll get there, Chloe. It’s just gonna take a little bit of time.

Lex: He quoted one of his favorite Elizabethan poets. “‘Twixt truth
and madness lies but a sliver of a stream.” He’s not just gonna let this
drop. I thought I’d warn you.

Lana: Sorry I’ve been so confused about us. It’s just, um, I’m scared.

Clark: So am I.

Lana: You have so many secrets in your life.

Clark: I know. I just don’t want my feelings for you to be one of them.

Lana: Neither do I.
