Smallville Reunion




Well, this episode has a little of Lex's back story. Bascially lex's high school years. Lex went to a very high profile private school called Excelsior. they wore little hats and jackets, generally what you would expect of a proper boarding school. Lex wasn't the playboy you might think he was. He was a dork, and had exactly one friend named Duncan, a fellow dork. The upperclassmen, Name Oliver Queen and his cohorts made life miserable for Lex. So, we flash back to the present, and Lana and Lex are at his reunion. One of Olivers cohorts dies, in a very final destination way. Then another cohort dies in an implausible car explosion. After an attempt on Lex lana is injured. SO Chloe, and Clarke start investigating. Lois is also throwing her new found reporter skills at the problem. We find out that Lex's best friend had seen Ollie and his minions stealing the answers to the test. Lex sees this as an opportunity to blackmail the much more popular Queen into pretending to be his friend and getting them some respect in the school. Duncan doesn't want anything to do with it, he's happy being a dork, and feels Lex betrayed him. Lex loses it, and starts wailing on Duncan, really beats the snot out of him. Duncan starts backing away from Lex, and accidentally backs into traffic and gets run over. That moment has apparently haunted Lex, and Oliver since that moment. In the future we learn that Lionel covered the whole thing up, and more mysteriously had the most advanced neurosurgeons working on it. We further learn that Duncans mother signed her son over for a hefty sum, and that Duncan is alive in one of Lionels labs! Clarke and Chloe go searching and find Duncan in his hospital room. They have been injecting him with a serum derived from Meteor rocks. There are readouts showing insane amounts of brain activity at the exact times of the attacks. Also, he just had an injection. Back at Ollies office, Lex is confronting him, when suddenly the window blows in. Lex is knocked out, and Ollie sees his display of arrows start to vibrate of their own accord. Ollie gets impaled against the wall with one of his arrows, and just as another arrow goes to kill him, Clarke bursts into the room and takes the hit for him. The arrow is a localized EMP arrow that Ollie made instead of a boxing glove arrow, and it disrupts Duncans ghost form and kills him.

At the end of the episode Lex confronts Lionel about what happened to Duncan. Claiming that Duncan used the accident to find an experimental subject. He wants the paperwork on Duncon on his desk by the morning.

Then we have Chloe and Clake looking over the satellite images that she got from the Queen satellites that were up on Black Thursday. They see several craters like the one he landed in, and in one of them we see a form. Rya escaped!
