Zero, like many other episodes, explores the idea that every action has consequences. The slogan of the night club that Lex visits is 'zero consequences' but Lex learns quickly that there is no such thing. Three years ago he deliberately took a woman to the club knowing full well that her fiancé was going to be there with other women. This was a bad move on Lex's part that is about to have nasty repercussions. There is also a sub-plot involving Chloe in which she starts to dig up information on Clark's adoption for a school project.
There is quite a lot going on here but it all comes together nicely. It's good to see Phelan pop up again (in flashback) after his previous mention of his involvement in the Club Zero incident. Once again, this episode is without a meteor infected villain and appears to be all the better for it, allowing the story to take a more personal look into the history of its darkest character.
The sub-plot with Chloe is just as interesting, adding a lot more emotional weight to her relationship with Clark, as she too is now torn, as Lex has been, between digging up Clark's secrets or leaving well alone. In the final moments we see that her reporter's instincts seem to win out and we are left wandering what the consequences of her decision might be in the future.
Another great episode. 9/10
