Summary
"Bizarro" picks up where "Phantom" left off. Lana has
apparently been killed in an explosion. Lex has been arrested
for her murder. Lois has been brought back from the dead
by Chloe, who may have taken her place. Both of them are
inside a dam that's sprung a major leak thanks to a fight
between Clark and a phantom that has taken Clark's DNA,
turning himself into a bizarre version of Clark.
The dam breaks, washing the police car containing Lex
into the water. In the forest, Anti-Clark knocks Clark
around a bit, and we find out that Anti-Clark not only
borrowed Clark's DNA, he also has access to Clark's memories,
and he intends to take over Clark's life. That might not
be so easy if Anti-Clark's face doesn't stop turning gray
and developing cracks from time to time. Clark knocks Anti-Clark
for a loop and rushes off to help people caught in the
path of the flood. Clark ends up using his heat vision
to vaporize the flood waters before they can reach a father
and son out on a fishing trip.
As Lex runs out of air in the deeply submerged police
car, he sees an angelic figure floating nearby.
Anti-Clark finds himself impaled on a piece of an electrical
tower, but slides off and uses heat vision to fry someone
that tries to come to his aid.
Lois drags Chloe through the interior of the dam, only
to find her way blocked by a flooded room. The room appears
to be filled with floating bodies, likely all subjects
of 33.1. She turns to find the boy what had been previously
possessed by the phantom asking her for help.
Lionel has been washed out of the dam and lies unconscious
on the riverside. A mysterious, gloved figure approaches
him and drags him off.
Clark breaks his way into where Chloe, Lois and the boy
are. Clark chalks it up to the roof collapsing when Lois
wonders how he made it in.
At the Kent farm, Anti-Clark uses a piece of Kryptonite
to heal his wounds.
Lex wakes on the riverside to find the angelic figure
standing over him. The glare from the sun keeps him from
getting a good look at her face. When he briefly looks
away, the woman flies off.
At the hospital, doctors and nurses work frantically over
Chloe. She looks dead, but must have at least some sign
of life. Lois tells Clark the story from her point of view.
She was stabbed by a security guard, dialed Chloe then
passed out. When she awoke, the wound was healed and Chloe
was laying beside her. She suspects that Lex's men had
something to do with Chloe's condition and leaves to find
out what.
At Luthorcorp headquarters, Lex's people have arranged
for a helicopter to get him out of the country. Lex recalls
the woman who saved him and wonders why she would. He thinks
about Lana, and how she was the only thing he was living
for, and he decides to turn himself in.
Lois lets herself into Lex's study (top notch security).
She runs into Anti-Clark, though of course she doesn't
realize it isn't Clark. Anti-Clark leers at her and makes
a none-too-subtle pass at her. She slaps him and he leaves
saying, "maybe next time."
In the emergency room, Chloe flatlines. The doctors try
to revive her but are unsuccessful. Chloe is pronounced
dead at 13:49. She wakes up in the morgue and starts banging
on the walls of her chamber to be let out. Clark gets the
bad news that Chloe didn't make it, but then he hears her
screaming for help.
Clark rescues Chloe from the cooler. She can't or won't
shed any light on what happened. Clark thinks she should
get checked out, but Chloe doesn't want to become a lab
rat. As she rips up her death certificate, she sees Lana's.
Lex meets with his lawyer in his cell. The lawyer plays
a tape of Lex's last conversation with Lana, where he sounds
like he's threatening her life. The lawyer points out that
the tape makes it unlikely that they'll be able to arrange
for bail. Lex is more worried about recovery efforts at
the dam, particularly what happened to a particular 33.1
subject. The lawyer tells him that most of the subjects
have been recovered, but not the one he's asking about.
The lawyer also tells Lex that Lionel is missing.
Anti-Clark shows up at the cell and rips the door off
its hinges. He kills the lawyer and Lex figures out that
he's the phantom. He suspects that the phantom has taken
Clark's body, but Anti-Clark tells him that Clark is still
out there. Anti-Clark says that he needs lots of meteor
rocks, and he insists that Lex is going to help him kill
Clark.
Chloe tries to help Clark figure out what to do about
Anti-Clark, and manages to coin the phrase "bizarro Clark."
They figure out that Kryptonite recharges Bizarro instead
of harming him. We find out that Oliver has been tracking
Lex's meteor rock shipments, and that there have been several
to Reeve's dam. If Bizarro gets to those shipments before
Clark, well, it would be bad. Clark can't take him on alone,
but he knows someone who might
be able
to
help.
That someone turns out to be J'onn J'onzz, the Martian
Manhunter. J'onn explains to Clark that the phantom can
only be defeated with the help of something that gives
Clark power, the yellow sun. The sun weakens Bizarro, which
is why his face distorted when he was in the sunlight.
Lex leads Bizarro to the section of the dam where the
meteor rocks are kept. Before Bizarro can expose himself
to the rocks, Lex grabs a gun and demands to know where
Bizarro is from and why he chose Clark to replicate.
Bizarro tells Lex he has to choose between destroying him
and finding out Clark's secrets. Before Lex makes his choice,
Bizarro uses his super speed to grab the gun then knocks
Lex aside (and unconscious).
Bizarro opens the lead-lined chamber containing the Kryptonite
and steps inside as Clark arrives. Bizarro essentially
sucks the radiation out of the Kryptonite, powering himself,
but also keeping it from harming Clark. Bizarro tells Clark
that he's wasted his opportunities. Clark doesn't deserve
this life, but he does. Clark attacks Bizarro, but Bizarro
easily knocks him aside. Clark impacts the wall, creating
a hole through which sunlight streams. The sun's rays heal
Clark's wounds.
Clark calls out to Bizarro, taunting him. Bizarro walks
into the sunlight and hits Clark again, but Clark takes
the blow without damage. The sunlight causes Bizarro's
face to distort, and Clark hits Bizarro hard enough to
send him high into the sky. As he flies upward, pieces
of his face appear to break off, and we can see Kryptonite
green showing from beneath. Either from the power of Clark's
blow or on his own, Bizarro flies out of Earth's atmosphere.
Never to be heard from again? Right.
Chloe visits Clark at the Kent farm to try and comfort
him over losing Lana. She's still not interested in talking
about what happened at the dam. Lois shows up and forgives
Clark for coming on to her, though he has no idea what
she's talking about.
J'onn finds Clark in the loft and tells him that Jor El
would be proud of the way that Clark took responsibility
for his actions. Clark wonders if Bizarro had one thing
right, maybe he's been wasting time avoiding his destiny
and trying to be something he isn't, human.
Chloe burns her death certificate in her sink.
Lex gets led to his cell, where he stares at a photo of
himself and Lana.
Speaking of Lana, she's alive and well in Shanghai, China.
And the woman that saved Lex's life? She's hanging out
on top of the Smallville water tower. Like another super-powered
Smallvillite, she has a penchant for wearing red and blue.
She picks up a silver bracelet, stares at it, puts it on,
then
flies
off.
