Finally a character driven episode as opposed to that awful slasher episde last week. This is what Smallville is about. A sympathetic doctor releases a cyborg subject named Victor who was being held captive and experimented on by LuthorCorp. While making his escape, Victor is struck by Lana's car. After watching him walk away without a scratch, Lana calls Clark to investigate. Clark befriends Victor and promises to help him find his girlfriend, but Lex traps Victor and takes him back to LuthorCorp. This episode featured strong preformances by Michael Rosenbaum and John Glover as Lex Luthor and Lionel Luthor, respectively. Lastly, the final line said by Lionel was brilliant: "Your secret is safe with me, Kal-El."
