I love this episode. Alison Mack does a tremendous job as Chloe in this one. Once more she is put through the ringer as all her closest friends try to take her out one by one. The fight scene between her and Lana is totally badass and seeing her reactions to all these attacks just makes your heart break for her.
Thankfully, as a result of all this, it does push Clark and Chloe into patching things up and making friends again. It's actually one of the best moments of this episode and one of my favourite scenes between the two characters in the entire series up to this point.
We learn also that Adam has some mad computer and kung-fu skills. But he doesn't know where he got these skills from due to an apparent amnesia, presumably as the result of his accident. It makes some of his behaviour seem slightly erratic and unpredictable. At one point he emotionally manipulates Lana during a heated discussion by pinning everything onto her insecurites. This should be a dead giveaway for her to let him walk away. But this is Lana we are talking about and so she welcomes him further into her life. Why break the habit of a lifetime!
Clark puts himself into a difficult position at one point by running to Lex in order to make insinuations about Lionel. But all this does is key Lex in to the fact that Clark knows something he doesn't about his missing memories. This is the second episode in a row where he has done this and you kind of get the feeling that Clark is his own worst enemy. He needs to start thinking things through before running into blabbermouth mode to Lex.
A great episode, with some cool action scenes and top notch character moments, particularly for Chloe. 10/10
