The Clark-Lex relationship hits a Climactic Point
12 October 2007
This episode rivetingly addresses the world famous Clark Kent-Lex Luthor friendship-turned-rivalry in this thrilling episode.

Jodi Keenan, wife of a special forces soldier from Afghanistan, wants revenge on Lex. Despite news reports that he died in a plane crash during the war, or, according to Lex, died in combat, she insists that her husband Wes is still alive, and Lex is holding him. In vengeance, she sets a time bomb in a secret maze of tunnels that only Lex- and Lana- know about, because Lex is working a secret operation there. Yes, it is another branch of the evil 33.1 franchise. However, in his incredible goodness, Clark goes down there to save his former friend. However, the tunnels are laden with kryptonite, making Clark normal at best. As a result, the two adversaries must rely on each other and help each other if they both want to get out of the sub-civilization maze alive.

This episode is thrilling. It is great to see Clark deal with a life-threatening crisis with his powers. As a result of this loss of abilities, it is intriguing to see rivals have no choice but to help each other. In addition, these circumstances indicate that Lex may yet have a bit of goodness left in him. Also interesting is the fact that Lana knows where the tunnels are, though she doesn't tell anyone until she learns that Clark, not just Lex, was down there. A fabulous episode, the second or third best of the season.
