Twists work best when they come out of the blue, like this one did, but in retrospect still makes sense. Even though he risked innocent Martha’s death, it was a smart move and an awesome twist. However, Alexander has all of Lex’s memories and, as proven by the events in this episode and in ‘Harvest’, all of his hate.Īs shocking and as unexpected as it was, that sort of move was probably the only way Alexander was going to get Clark into his gun’s sights. The staged assassination attempt to flush out and murder Clark was cold and calculated which is surprising for a person who looks to be about 18 years old. It’s a good twist because it’s one that stands up even after multiple views of the episode.Īnd I adore that Lionel had encouraged his son’s vitriol, even though at first it seemed shocking even to him to have his son (or rather his son’s clone) be so without remorse when it comes to hurting an innocent like he did. ![]() That his hatred of Clark would move to this level of animosity I suppose was a natural progression, at least it seems that way to me. As shocking as the attempt on Martha’s life was, it still fit. It had been made clear even way back in ‘Harvest,’ when he was essentially a 12 year old, that Alexander had some major issues with Clark that he couldn’t let go. I was shocked when it had been revealed that Alexander was responsible for the attempt on Martha’s life, but it makes so much sense. However, Don and Holly made the two seemingly disparate stories pull together quite nicely about half-way through the show and they did it a huge way. Initially it was perplexing the two stories shared an episode since they seemed to have little in common. However, at first I didn’t realize how that tied into Clark’s story with his mom and fighting for the Vigilante Registration Act to be repealed. Lionel taking Luthorcorp back was a huge development and complicates things with Tess, Oliver and even Alexander. And Lionel paraphrasing Mark Twain’s famous line, ‘Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated,’ was a terrific way to end the tease. Penned by the writing team of Don Whitehead and Holly Henderson, the reveal to Tess of the alternate universe Lionel Luthor in her office was terrific. Important plot details, including one or two huge twists, will be revealed in this review. NOTE: I’ve said this before and I especially mean it this time read no further if you don’t want to be spoiled.
