Clark gets kidnapped like a tourist in Mexico, and Patty Swan, daughter of the late Dr. Virgil Swan, shows up revealing a connection between her dad, the Luthors, Teagues, and Queens and their Veritas group—a group organized to welcome a “traveler” from another galaxy.
Man, an awful lot of people on Earth know about Krypton, now don’t they?
The Random:
1. Patty Swan’s first act on Smallville is to openly accuse Lionel of murdering her father and then she threatens him, and then she reveals a bunch of secrets to Lex. Yeah. What’s the over/under she’s surviving the rest of this episode? Either way, she drops some major knowledge on Clark about Lionel, Veritas, and Clark’s own heritage via her father’s journals.
2. Clark is going to be ten kinds of pissed when he finds out Lionel was behind his kidnapping, possibly even eleven, it depends on how high he can count after Lana making him stupid for so long.
3. Well, who could have guessed that Pierce, the clearly unhinged security officer in charge of the Kidnap and Torture Clark Operation, would go rogue, pistol whip Lionel and then try and kill Clark?
The Awesome:
1. Sure, it’s not smart to do, but give Clark props for being trapped in a Kryptonite cage and instead of being meek deciding to talk smack and try to bust his way out even while getting his ass beat. That’s just hero stuff right there.
2. Watching Lionel weave a web of lies to shift suspicion away from himself and onto his own son is like watching DaVinci paint. He’s turned it into an artform, getting everyone off his back. Of course, Chloe’s no moron and she knows something’s up. That’s my gal, Ms. Sullivan.
3. Kara swoops in and saves the day in classic Supergirl style, her memories and abilities finally restored, while Lionel earns some (self serving) good will by killing Pierce just as he’s about to fire a Kryptonite gun at Clark.

“OK, well I’ll see you next time I’m in town, Lionel.”
“Uh, yeah. About that…”

“You think this Kryptonite cage is something? Come at me, bro!”

The WTF?!:
1. Apparently Clark’s superhearing is highly overrated because the “covert” operatives that got the jump on him could have woken Helen Keller out of a sound sleep. Seriously, Clark, what the hell? Well, at least he makes up for it by using it to detect Lionel’s lying ways.
2. With all of the money Lex continues to pour into security at his mansion, by this point, he’s got to realize he’s better off just making paper airplanes out of hundred dollar bills and flying them directly into a fireplace, especially when Lana and Chloe can lead a de facto jailbreak and spring Kara from its confines without so much as an alarm being raised.

3. Where exactly does the funding come from for all of these secret laboratories? They can’t be cheap and since we never actually see a fully functioning LuthorCorp facility on account of them all conducting sinister experiments and then being blown up, where does this company’s profit margin come from?
