Smallville

Previously on Smallville...

Clark: Well, what would make you stay?

Lois: I would stay for you.

Clark.

Oliver: You know, it's not what happened to you

that destroyed this team, is it?

It's what happened to her.

What was she, your partner?

My wife.

Shayera and I were cursed

by one of our enemies.

Destined to fall in love,

only to watch each other die.

We're not done.

I will hunt you, and I will find you.

You understand?

You don't even know who I am...

Aah!

...Green Arrow.

Tess: With you, he has a purpose.

I wish I could have given him that.

And it kills me.

'Cause you have everything right in front of you.

And you can't even see it.

So, what do you say, kid -- Africa?

Perry White -- he's offered me a job

at the Foreign Desk in Kenya.

I think you leaving Metropolis is the best thing...

For you right now.

Perry. It's Lane.

I really hope this story is worth it,

because so far my dream assignment

is turning into "1,001 Arabian Nightmares."

And you know what?

I really hope per diem covers the 11-hour camel ride.

And as for this newly unearthed Tomb of Isis --

all I see are some rocks and a couple of tents.

Call me.

Hello?

Lois Lane, Daily Planet.

They were star-crossed lovers.

Guess you never know what fate has planned for you.

Chloe, where are you?

I've left four messages.

Jor-El warned me some dark force is coming.

I need your help.

Check it out. Page three.

Someone hit the big time.

Lois.

No.

It's Catherine. But my friends call me "Cat."

Cat Grant. With a "C."

Want a cookie?

I just baked them this morning.

Really gooey, so be careful.

I use twice the sugar.

Um...

No relation to that woman on tv.

I get that a lot.

Clark Kent.

Welcome to The Daily Planet.

Can I tell you how excited I am to be working at The Planet?

After all those weeks at the small-town paper,

my words are finally going to have a real impact.

So you said "weeks"?

Classic overachiever.

Got that from my granddaddy.

Back home, I basically owned the front page of the paper.

Now I can finally have an influence

on millions of people.

Gordon: Hero mania? I say hero menace!

Don't tell me these masked, anarchy-loving vigilantes

are out there to protect my kids.

Don't tell me some abomination

who is too grotesque to show his face

but vandalizes our town with the letter "S"

is a hero!

What's the "S" stand for, huh?

I'll tell you what. "Shame"!

H.R. doesn't allow us to listen to the radio

during work hours.

Bummer.

I'll get you the podcast.

You know, Godfrey is so right.

About everything.

Let's find you a permanent desk.

This one belongs to someone on temporary leave.

Lois Lane?

She's the one who got this whole thing started.

Calling those costumed vigilantes heroes?

Please. Like it's not totally obvious

she's in love with The Blur.

Lois Lane is the best crime reporter this paper ever had.

Now, there is a desk available

over here by the copy machine.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a minute, Mr. busy boots.

I don't think you get it.

I'm your new partner.

I got your message.

I have to say,

it wasn't the call I was expecting.

Chloe's gone.

Well, you've been with her for five months, right?

Sounds like things are right on schedule.

No, it's not like that. She just disappeared.

No warning, no phone call, nothing.

Trust never was the golden rule

for the kids in this clubhouse.

Well, you'd just fit right in, then, wouldn't you?

Now, if you think I'm gonna sit around here and do nothing,

just wait for my girlfriend to come back like Clark's doing,

you don't know me very well at all.

Low blow.

I'd say Clark's using every ounce of strength he has

not to skip over the Azores and bring Lois home.

He respects Lois enough.

Maybe that's because Lois hasn't completely disappeared.

There's no digital record of Chloe Sullivan anywhere.

It's like she never existed.

The only one who could erase Chloe is Chloe.

Oh, God.

Come on, now, Tess. Don't underestimate yourself.

Although, I do have to say,

I thought the e-mail was a touch much.

"Oliver...

"I never thought I'd have to tell you how I feel about us,

"because the smile on my lips when I looked at you...

"Pretty much said it all.

"But now that you won't be seeing it anymore,

"I'll have to use words to tell you.

"I've never loved anyone the way I've loved you.

"And I never will again.

"You will always be my brightest star,

my knight in shining leather, my hero."

Oliver, this might be difficult for you to face, but...

I didn't write this.

We both know Chloe did.

I did help her reset the system, though.

And in a bizarre way,

she knew that I was the only one who would understand.

Why'd she do this?

I just know it's what she wanted.

I trusted that she had a plan.

Maybe it's time you trust her, too.

And I thought those "Sex and The City" girls had gaudy taste.

You might tell that to its owner,

the goddess queen Isis.

She spent eternity searching for the cut-up pieces

of her dead husband.

Yeah, I can relate to that.

My relationship just broke up into a zillion tiny pieces,

and I don't know how to put it all back together again.

So, you're a bona fide Indiana Jones?

They fly you in to make sure

that these aren't lifted

from some souvenir shop in Cairo?

And that they're intact and well-preserved.

In other words, hands off.

I know the Egyptians

were big on the afterlife,

but...Burying your pet bird?

Someone needs therapy.

That is the sun God, Ra, bringer of light and life.

He was revered.

He has the head of a parakeet.

It's a falcon.

"Po-tay-to," "po-tah-to."

So, why was this Hawk guy so important?

It's said that each day he traveled across the sky

and through the Underworld

to be born again at sunrise.

A God reborn with the sun.

Thank you, Ati.

I have to admit this assignment --

a little out of my strike zone.

I mean, I was raised

by a very grounded four-star general

who believed in what you can see, touch...

Blow up.

Things that can be explained.

It's just...

You can live your whole life without any proof of something,

like a-a God or...Whatever,

and then one day you look up and realize

the guy sitting across from you is...

Ra.

You think the guy sitting across from you
