Quotes

Jonathan Kent: [to Lex, slamming his coffee cup down] Look, I don't know how things work in your house, but around here, we think it's important to respect other people's privacy.
Clark Kent: Dad...
Lex Luthor: It's all right, Clark.
[to Jonathan]
Lex Luthor: Mr. Kent, since the day I moved to Smallville I've done nothing but try to be a friend to you. And in return, you do nothing but lecture me with sanctimonious platitudes. I'm done listening to them.

A Good Reason to Work with Lionel Luthor

When Lex Luthor loses a US$ 150,000,00.0 contract to Luthor Corp., he finds that his mansion was bugged by his father. He hires a team to bug Luthor Corp. expecting to find the building empty since it is Sunday, but Lionel Luthor assigns Martha Kent for a work in his office with him. Jonathan Kent becomes very upset since it is the day of their weeding birthday and he was planning a picnic with Martha. Lex call off the action, but the leader of the group of industrial spies is killed by a member that wants to steel Lionel's safe. Martha and Lionel become hostages of the criminals, and when they open the safe, a great secret is disclosed. Meanwhile, Lana schedules a meeting with Mr. & Mrs. Small in Talon to know Jennifer Small, who advises Lana about her husband.

"Insurgence" is one of the best episodes of "Smallville". The secret disclosed in the safe of Lionel Luthor is amazing, and Clark Kent practically flies for the first time. The behavior of Jonathan Kent with Lex Luthor is excessively rude, and I do not understand why Lex continues to be so gentle with him. My vote is ten.
