Former Luthor Manor. Oliver, in his Green Arrow garb, is breaking in. He's got the hood and the sunglasses and the green pleather. He comes in from the upstairs library and leaps over the rail into the former Lair of Lex. He quickly finds the metal box containing the Spencer Gifts Frequency Generator (sans the Lava Lamp attachment). He puts the metal box back onto the generator, then hears a click. Tess is standing behind him, wearing a robe and holding a gun. He turns, raising his arms. "So not the night to mess with me," she says with the wrong inflection. For future reference, Tess, emphasis should have been on "So." "No 'Hello,' no 'How are you?' " Oliver asks in his gross, low computer voice. Tess, still pointing the gun, asks what he knows about the crystal. "That depends," he answers, "how good is your shot?" Considering he's only wearing sunglasses, it's ridiculous that Tess doesn't recognize Oliver when he's standing right in front of her. Wouldn't the height, the chin and his corny sense of humor have tipped her off? Tess asks whom he works for. He says he's self-employed. She advises that getting blood out of leather can be a total bitch. She steps forward. Oliver, acting quickly, throws a dart at her. It hits her shoulder and she begins to fall. He's quick enough to grab her before she hits the floor. He tells her that she won't be able to move for a few minutes, but after that, she'll be back to her normal, cuddly, charming self. He lays her on the couch. Then he takes the generator. He offers to see himself out. It would have been cute if he'd said, "Yoink!"
Metropolis General. Faora is stalking the halls. She finds Davis helping a little kid out in a big exam area. A doctor tries to stop her, telling her this area is restricted. "Please," she says, "that's my son!" The doctor thinks she's talking about the young boy. He allows her to pass. She watches Davis. After the kid leaves, she says, "You helped him!" Davis asks what Lois is doing there. She asks him the same question. He asks if everything is all right. "I don't understand," she says, "all that human carnage." Davis is like, "Wha?" She asks if that's not his doing. Davis looks a bit weirded out. He offers to find her a doctor. "All I need is you, my son," she says. Faora hugs him tightly. "Mother's here," she says. I suppose nursing is out of the question?
Commercials. Clone Wars is already coming out on DVD? Wow, that was fast. That was the one that tanked at the box office, right?
