NOTES: Sam Jones III no longer appears in the opening credits. Jensen Ackles is now listed fourth as a regular. Updated credits include new and additional footage, primarily from the previous season.Erica Durance is listed as "Special Guest Star" and will continue to be in her future appearances. Margot Kidder of course played Lois Lane opposite Christopher Reeve in the four Superman movies. Her "in another lifetime" comment alludes to the fact the characters were lovers. This episode marks the first appearance of Black Kryptonite, not only in this series but in the entire Superman universe as well. Music by Tahiti 80 (A Piece of Sunshine). Allison Mack does not appear in the opening credits or is credited at all (presumably to keep the audience believing she's dead and won't be showing up again), and only appears in the episode itself via a pre-recorded tape. Five Superman references: When the lightning is dissipating in the corn field, there is the image (albeit crude) of an "S" inside the familiar pentagon of Superman's chest shield; the colors that light up the cave wall are red, blue, and yellow; the blanket that Lois gives Clark is the exact color of red of the Superman cape; and the Superman "S" can clearly be seen on the Sphinx-ish figurine that Lex finds underground; When Lana does the charcoal rubbing of the "Warrior Woman" in the church, the shield the warrior is carrying is in the shape of Superman's famous chest-emblem - the symbol inside the shield (which becomes the mysterious tattoo on Lana's back) is a stylized "S." You can see Lana's tattoo on the cave wall. Martha gets thrown at it when Clark defeats Kal-El. According to Chloe's gravestone, she was 17. (1987-2004) Jensen Ackles' last starring role was on Dark Angel. Interestingly enough, Dark Angel also had strange characters appearing on the skin of the female lead. In the comics Dr. Bridgette Crosby is a scientist at S.T.A.R. Laboratories who works with kryptonite. |

episode 10: Scare |
| appearances: Jane Seymour (Genevieve Teague) |
There are people infected with a toxin, including Jason.
By this time Clark knows about Lana and Jason's relationship. Jason is in the hospital.
The toxins make someone "sustain a level of panic"... until their heart gives out. Lana is distraught.
Lionel gets into some conflict with some other inmates following a chess game.
We meet the prison warden, Anita Stone.
Lionel is still saying he's a changed man, and "now wants to help others."
The Appeals Court has overturned Lionel's conviction. Lionel is surprised, as he says he tried to pay off as many people as possible to get out, and he thought it wasn't a possibility.
Lionel tells the judge he wants to STAY in prison to help people. (?!?!) Against Lionel's wishes... someone has gotten him out, and he is now a free man.
There's a character named "Otis Ford" in this one! Call Ned Beatty's agent, Otis has landed in Smallville. Otis is a project manager in his 40's who is working for Lex, and it is his people who have created the toxins. "Statistics aren't lying in these beds. My employees are," Lex says following an explosion in the lab.
Clark and Lex arrange for Jason to get a job with LuthorCorp. Maybe something bad happens with his coaching job?
The toxins cause other hallicinations, which make us think they hit Lex and Chloe as well. Chloe sees a woman she thinks is her mother, in a straight jacket. "I've been waiting for you, Chloe," the woman says. "You can't escape it. No women in our family ever have." The woman turns around, and her face is revealed as a gaunt version of Chloe herself!
Lex has an even more disturbing nightmare. The setting: A church. A priest asks if he and a veiled woman are to be lawfully wedded husband and wife. The veiled woman is... Lana! "No!" she exclaims. "I could never love you, Lex."

| appearances: Jane Seymour (Genevieve Teague) Sarah Carter (Alicia Baker) |
Lana makes the comment to Chloe that "Whenever I thought about my first time I kind of always thought it would be with Clark." Chloe tells her "It hasn't happened yet," meaning, it sounds like Lana is considering having sex with Jason but has not yet at this point.
Clark, in full Kal mode, is wearing a black Armani tux in front of a preacher... he and Alicia are going to get married! No, we're not making this up! After the whole "you may kiss the bride" spiel, Clark superspeeds him and Alicia out of there to the bridal suite at a Las Vegas hotel. "Time to make it official," Kal/Clark says, before they... well, we don't know what happens next, but one can imagine.
Lionel claims he is starting a new charity, to help sufferers of hunger, poverty, and abuse, but Lex doesn't buy it. "Perfect place to wash all that blood money and make it all look presentable..." Lex says. "Forget it, Dad. You're not getting a dime."
Lana approaches Jason slowly and nervous on the college campus. Will she, too, do the deed? We shall see...

Episode title and airdate (when such exists) provided in part by kryptonsite.com, although information posted at TVTome comes from multiple sources. We encourage everyone to visit Kryptonsite.com for any further information such as cast lists, writers & directors, etc., until such time as the episode airs or more information comes out through public non-internet sources.
There is some conflict between Chloe and Alicia in the Smallville Torch office. After their bickering, Alicia implies to Chloe that Clark may be a "freak" himself. Could this revelation mean Chloe learning The Secret? "Everyone knows you're crazy, Alicia. Why should I believe anything you say?" Chloe tells her.
Clark is defensive to Jonathan about Alicia, insisting that she is all better. "So much better that she used your secret against you and infected you with Red Kryptonite," Jonathan tells him.
"Alicia kept my secret. She let herself get shot to protect me," Clark tells him.
A security guard warns Jason to stay away from Lana as they enter the Talon. "We're here to ensure your safety, Miss Lang," the guard tells her. Lex then approaches, and it is revealed that the Talon's owner, Lex, hired security to watch the building to ensure Lana's safety. "Safe from who, me?" Jason asks. Lex pulls him aside.
Lex tells Jason that it was a misunderstanding, and the security team is a bit overzealous. Apparently at some time previous to this episode Lana is attacked at her apartment above the Talon. To protect her, Lex has suggested that she stay with him at the mansion. Lana insists that she is all right with Jason staying there with her.
Later in the episode, Jason is attacked. Clark is at the police station telling Sheriff Adams, and provides evidence, a scarf from the car. |
