Smallville is certainly sexing things up this season, because Lois Lane (Erica Durance) is prancing through Luthor Manor dressed as a French maid, complete with feather duster. She’s looking for information about Chloe’s whereabouts when Tess walks in and the two have a heated exchange of words. I smell a world-class catfight in their future. Tess has Lois escorted out of the building.
Speaking of Chloe (Allison Mack), she’s being held in Montana and the government is running tests to study just how powerful her brain is. It turns out she’s smarter than a super computer, and the government agent offers her a choice: spend the next year using her gifts to help get back into the good graces of the United States, or spend 20 years in jail.
The Justice League is back at Oliver Queen’s apartment, trying to track Clark. Dinah wants to give up, suspecting he might be dead, but Oliver vows to keep looking. We also learn Cyborg and Impulse are searching the southern hemisphere, which is code for those actors not being available to appear in this episode.
Where is Clark? He’s doing manual labor in Russia, of course. He’s paying off a debt for rescuing him, but for some reason, he’s not simply using his super powers to escape. Clark (Tom Welling) tries hijacking a jeep, but gets stopped and beaten up by his captor. The Russian, sporting one of the worst accents ever, warns Clark, “You try that again Johnny Appleseed, I’ll be not so nice.”
In Montana, the government agent wants Chloe to crack an algorithm to find three cell phone numbers used by terrorists. She gets the first one, and we then see Lex’s goons capture Aquaman, who’s in the middle of a shower in Norway. Congratulations Smallville on the season’s first piece of gratuitous male hotness. The second cell phone number Chloes cracks belongs to Black Canary, who is captured in Greenland. Halfway through the final number, Chloe realizes it’s Oliver’s and discovers she’s not a prisoner of the government, but of LuthorCorp. She tries to escape, but gets re-captured by Regan.
