Watchtower. Clark, Lois and Chloe walk inside, all filled with purpose and hope. They start taking all the plastic sheets off the computers. [And folding up the sofa bed? - Z] Clark uses a remote to open the iris, letting in the warm glow of the sun. Triumphant music plays.
Kent Farm, night. Tess sits alone in the loft with a copy of The Art of War and a small metal box. She opens the box, revealing a syringe filled with thick-looking, yellow liquid and a vial of more of the same substance. She picks up the vial, turns it over in her hands. It's cyanide. She takes out the syringe and takes the cap off the needle. She looks like she's been crying. When Alexander walks up the steps, she quickly hides the syringe and closes the box. He's wearing a lavender T-shirt and sweatpants. His complexion is sallow and he looks tired. "I feel sick," he says. She makes room for him on the sofa beside her and wraps a blanket around his shoulders. "I'm beginning to forget things," he says. She asks if he remembers what he did yesterday, but he doesn't. "What if I forget everything? What if I forget you?" She pulls him to her chest and rocks him gently. "I promise you that I will make everything OK," she whispers into his hair. He relaxes in her arms. She closes her eyes for a moment, then pulls the syringe from his hiding place. She positions the needle behind Alexander's neck, holds her breath, and brings her hand down. The needle bends on contact with his skin. She stares in horror as tears roll down her cheeks. Alexander remains calm in her arms, unaware of the betrayal. He didn't even feel the needle.
Stay tuned for next week, when we get to watch everyone standing around talking to each other about things that are happening!
