Lionel is meeting with his paid-off agent, Loeder who claims "I can't control some bleach-blond Pulitzer wannabe from dredging up evidence for a decades-old homicide." Meanwhile,Chloe's working in the Torch; Jonathan visits her with the tea cup that Kara used. Jonathan asks her to run the prints as a personal favor; Chloe backs off her third degree and agrees, telling him it might take a little time.
She meets with Lex later that night; Lex reveals to her that his dad is sick and dying and she gives Lex an out to stop with the legal process. Lex says he's not giving up; his father is a dying man with little to loose. However, he wants her to have all the facts of what's going on before she commits; she assures him that she's "not backing down."
I can't control some bleach blond Pulitzer wannabe from dredging up evidence for a decades-old homicide!
Chloe is at the Metropolis courthouse waiting for Clark to show up - in a pretty black suit. She talks with Lex, questioning why Clark wouldn't show up at all - and notices Clark (in his standard 'Superman' SV outfit) through the crowd. Clark breezes past Lex and her; she takes off after him leaving Lex alone.
