Aaargh! My VCR cut off the episode too early! My tape only goes up to the part where the bald psycho girl first tells Lois to kill Jonathan. What happened after that?

Lois like kicks behind her but the girl hits her with the gun and hten takes the shot herself. Clark of course stops the bullet. Then Lois wrestles her to the ground.

Lionel visits Lex and chastises him for using people to dig up dirt on the Kents, and Lex tell him that Griff was found dead.

Lois tells Martha that the campaign is out of money, and Martha tells her that there is another way but she has to promise to never tell Jonathan.

Lana visits Clark and says she's been researching the meteor showers and that they can't be a coincidence. And that she thinks that there was a ship in the first meteor shower like the one she saw in the second one.

Martha secretly meets with Lionel again.

I couldn't rep ya. Much obliged for the detailed description. :thumbsup: It wasn't too bad an episode. What I saw of it anyway.

Just patiently waiting on that "Clark loses a loved one" episode now.
