Another flashback shows Lana asked Carter to train her since he used to work with the Green Berets. He put her in ice water baths and made her burn her arms to withstand pain and live up to her true potential. She wanted power and left him to get it, dangerous as it may have been.

Carter tells Clark he got the job with Tess to help in Lana’s quest to take down Lex. He also lets it slip that while in Metropolis after their training, Lana visited Chloe. Speaking of Lana, the mad scientist’s second step in the Prometheus project is to graft nanotechnology onto Lana’s skin. The dialogue this man has to spew is some of the most absurd random science jargon ever written.

Tess tries to recruit Regan, one of Lex’s evil guard dogs, by promising, “I’ll give you more milk bones than Lex ever did.” Cassidy Freeman can not have felt good about saying that line. She asks him to get her the Prometheus technology so she can prevent Lex from being brought back to life.

Instead, he shows up to her office and kills her other bodyguard who found out Prometheus’ location. He threatens to reveal some of the juicy details he watched on Lex’s security tapes in her obituary, but instead she decides to kick the crap out of him, literally. She keeps kicking him like an all-star punter until his blood is covering her face.

Clark heads to Chloe to fill in another piece of Lana’s backstory. Lana used the Isis Foundation to find out information on Project Ares, Lex’s plot to heal injured soldiers using alien DNA. They find a hidden safe in the Isis Foundation that includes a hard drive with information about Projects Ares and Prometheus.
