Kent Farm. Lois Lane spins into the driveway in Chloe's VW Bug convertible. Lois stops short of another smoking meteor hole in the ground. Shelby the dog comes over to try to make Lois sneeze. Aw, it doesn't work. Lois runs through a flaming crater instead of around it. She looks in amazement at the Kent home. It's pretty damned damaged, though not completely flattened. "Oh my God," Lois says, as she steps inside and finds wood everywhere. Where's the plaster and furniture? Bo is moving planks, trying to find MamaKent. Lois rushes over to help and calls out, "Mrs. Kent!" Bo falls. Lois calls for Clark, but Bo tells her that he wasn't in the house when it was hit. More searching for Mama. Some sparks fly. Bo is dusty and grubby. Lois spots a hand. "Here!" she calls. They dig out the matriarch. She looks pretty flattened. And bloody. "I'm gonna get you out of here," Bo promises. Lois says MamaKent's "barely breathing," which is not the greatest medical assessment ever. (The greatest would be, "He's dead, Jim.") Bo says MamaKent's going to be fine, then starts to cry. Bo says they're going to get her out of there, again. "Can you help me get her out of here?" Bo asks Lois. Yeah, you should have checked on that before promising. Out of character, Lois just nods. Bo lifts MamaKent's head. Crrrrraaaackkkk! So ill-advised.
The Caves of Contrivance. Small rocks are falling. A hand reaches up, and Lex pulls himself out of some rubble. Not Barney Rubble, incidentally. "Chloe?" he calls out. He asks where she went. Lex finds a cell phone on the ground. "Where'd you go, Chloe?" he whispers. He goes into the Chamber of Superhero Transit and sees the large platform with the octagon slot in the middle. Lex likey. He pulls out the octagonal piece. Ah yes. The Sexy Disc. There's a whooshing from behind Lex. He turns and sees Angry PR Lady and Brother from Another. "Everything's under control here, officers," Lex says, not spotting APRL's mini-skirt and shiny bustier, I guess. She x-ray-visions Lex and sees the octagon in his hand. "He has the key," she says. No telepathy between the aliens? She Jedis the thing out of Lex's hand to fly into her own. Brother from Another is like, "I coulda done that." Lex asks who they are. "Are you Kal-El?" Brother asks. Lex asks who wants to know. Unwisely. Brother grabs Lex by the neck and commences the chokening. Angry PR Lady circles around Lex and sees some blood on his neck. She says it's not Kal-El: Kal-El doesn't bleed. Brother flings Lex across the cave and into a wall. This is not Lex's day. Lex winces. The Kryptonians whoosh out of there at super speed. Lex sees it and is duly amazed.
