I need a recap somebody, my VCR miss everything 
.
.Hmmm... dunno if I can recap everything. Here goes:
Starts off with Lex at a fundraiser in a very impressive building. He's alone (meaning no date). Then this red-dressed, brown-haired, good-looking woman looks at him, and Lex is intrigued... he follows her, and they finally end up at a hotel. Lex wakes up the next morning when the cleaning lady comes in, and she screams, as Lex's "date" is dead beside him.
Lex has his lawyers all over this (how he managed to stay out of jail or even police station I didn't catch). Clark decides to help Lex: he goes to see Lionel. Lionel's a changed man, and gives Clark some hints. Clark finds out where the woman lived, and goes there, only to find Lex there burning evidence.
Clark and Cloe finally figure out that the woman who died wasn't the same one he started off the night with; she's a woman whom Lex had slept with 18 (?) months earlier, but hadn't even recognized at a party or something 3 months after that. Then we find out that this is some sort of pattern with Lex; he's slept with a dozen or so brown-haired very similar women in the last year or so.
The woman wanting to frame Lex (I'm bad with names; can't remember hers) somehow brings him to his own house, and tries to burn him (he's bound and gagged in a chair). Clark comes in just in time, and snubs out the fire, without Lex seeing Clark or knowing what happened. Lex is just sitting there with a burned out circle surrounding him.
Lex and Clark talk later on, with Clark talking about this side of Lex he's never seen, and Lex talking about second chances.
Side Plot: Lana has a freaky dream about Isabella (the witch she turned into in the previous episode), and some other woman. The next day, Jason's mother shows up at the Talon, and she's the other woman in Lana's dream. Jason's mother tells Lana a few times she's really pretty (it seemed like the producers were forcing this, I dunno), and asks Lana to tell Jason she wants to talk to him. Last scene of the episode (IIRC), we get a cryptic conversation between Jason and his mother about why he's in Smallville (I didn't catch the whole conversation; someone called...).
I think that's about it.
Did anyone take note of Lionel's speech to Clark about him feeling "something Good" when he and Clark had switched bodies? I thought it a bit significant because Clark wonders if he's on Earth as a conqueror or something evil. Lionel's words made it sound like Clark has and inherent "goodness" about his soul (which is what Superman is), and not the conqueror-type.
Edit: typos.

That is pretty much the jist of the whole episode. The end season however was a little more. It was between Jason and his mother. He asks her why she is there and she says she just wanted to meet her son's girlfriend. Then he looks at her and asks if they did meet by accident. His mother just smiles politely and says of course. Then drives off with Jason in the rain looking at his mother's car. Oh and in the dream the lady that looked like Jason's mom has glowing purple eyes.

I have not figured if I like this "lana/witch" thing.
Okay, that's a lie, I hate it. I just dislike the whole thing thus far. Though truth be told I have never liked Lana really, and I dislike the new beau even more. Here I was hoping she would be in france and out of the show... oh well.
Looks like next week might be a good episode, or at least might actually move a real plot along.

Yeah, if Lana's memory somehow doesn't get wiped when she finds out Clarks secret. That's what I'm expecting to happen.

Yeah, but they seem to have gone for the Silver Age version of the story, where Clark/Superboy reveals his secret to Pete instead.
Reminds me of A Superman for All Seasons by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale (which was germaine to Smallville, I understand), where we hear about Clark's revelation to Lana from Lana's point of view, and she says that that's when she fell out of love with him. I liked that version of Lana better... the TV version seems much more shallow in comparison.
Incidentially, when the stalker/villain revealed herself to Lex before the last commercial break, I thought she was Mary Briggs/Brainwave from last season, since she looked a lot like her with the glasses and such. I think I would have been happier if it had been Brainwave instead, because she was a pretty good villain.
All in all, though, I liked the episode. I'm interested in seeing where the subplot with Lionel goes, I liked the further development for Jason, and screen time for Chloe is always a good thing.
