At the Daily Planet, Tess Mercer taunts Clark for dressing like an extra in High School Musical. She enlists him to fly with her to Los Angeles for a big announcement that she’s forming the Mercer Media Group.

They fly off on Oliver Queen’s private jet because she claims that Oliver and her share all their toys. My mind went to a very, very dirty place when she said that. The two discuss how they’ve both been betrayed by Lex Luthor. She mentions that she has Lex’s journal, so Clark immediately tries to get her drunk to find out about it. Of all the reasons to try and get a sexy woman drunk, this could be the lamest one ever.

Tess tells him sad stories about her childhood and then tries to get Clark to reveal his own deepest, darkest secret, believing that Lex wouldn’t have an entire room devoted to Clark Kent if he weren’t special in some way.

The plane suffers some severe turbulence. The pilot is gone, the plane’s going down and there are no parachutes. Tess begs Clark to do something. He struggles to come up with a plan to save them and keep his seret. Tess passes out and then Clark takes her and jumps out of the plane moments before it explodes.

Back home, Clark meets up with Tess and claims that he managed to find a parachute after she passed out to get them to safety. Tess clearly doesn’t believe this at all, so she continues to worm herself into Clark’s heart by telling him how safe he makes her feel.

When Chloe hears about this, she’s certain Tess knows something and wants him to stop tempting fate by running around as the Red Blue Blur. As expected, the pilot is fine and Tess paid him off, proving the whole plane crash was a test to get Clark to expose himself.
