Spoiler:
After Lex discovers Chloe's mother Moira has the power to control meteor freaks, he develops a drug to wake her from her catatonic state in the asylum, then threatens to kill Chloe unless she uses her power to help him. Clark helps Chloe break into the asylum to rescue Moira and finally get to know her mother.

Chloe story wasn't great but at least we found out what happened with Lana.


Sheesh, Lex, tricking your own girlfriend into thinking she was pregnant just to have her marry you - could you be any more desperate and sad?

The Moira Sullivan bit was okay, but nothing particularly new in terms of people controlling others. But at least it completed the Sullivans' background.

Clark's delayed reaction as the projectile was heading towards Lex was a nice touch, since it played into the earlier episode of his conscience of handling someone's fate.

Good revelation at the end... more sinister Lex, please!

Oh yeah that was an excellent touch. Plus Clark didn't just stand there for a while - he shoved him as if to show that he really didn't wnat to save him.

So Lynda Carter was stuck in scrubs for most of her scenes? What a waste.

Overall, Lex's 33.1 endeavors continue to keep him on the path of scheming and deceiving, he's really getting evil-er every episode.

I just wish they'd let Clark stick it to Lex once in a while, seems like Lex is always coming out smelling like roses.

Can Lex get any more evil? Threatening Chloe after earlier in the episode he said he admired her. The war is about to begin, as Clark said, and I can't wait. The season finale should be insane, with next season being full blown Clark v. Lex.

I was reading that this show is on the bubble for renewal which I was surprised about. I guess this was reported in USA today.

Okay, you need to spoilerize that little tidbit.

That's doubtful. It's still one of the CW's top rated shows. It needs to be on one more year, it's seventh, and then they should wrap it up.

I just finished watching season 3. Lex was not "evil" back then. Surprisiing how much he has changed over 2.5 seasons.

I thought the plan had always been to wrap it up after season 7?

Re: Chloe's mom. Why was she catotonic? Did they ever explain it? I assumed they gave her drugs that made her that way, but then they said Lex gave her drugs to bring her out of it. That whole supposed-to-be-emotional scene was confusing for that reason.

I think it was supposed to be a side effect of her meteor power.

Didn't they mention something in an earlier season about mental illness running in the family for Sullivan women? I think it was that episode where they had a Dr. Crane-like guy working for Lex where they made a Krypto-drug that made everyone see there worst fears, and Chloe's was ending up crazy and catatonic in an insane asylum like her mom.

Although now that I think about it, her mom did say that she went into the looney bin because she accidentally made Chloe hurt herself, so who knows.
