Dangerous Friendship

A deranged policeman that survived the attack of the Kryptonians and his fiancée break in the Luthor's mansion asking for the location of the spaceship, but Lex locks himself in the panic room. Clark accidentally finds the association of Lana with Lex in their research of the spacecraft. Lana is kidnapped to force Luthor to leave the room; he is shot, but Lana escapes to the panic room with him. Meanwhile, Jonathan presses Lois to find who is funding his campaign and Martha tells the truth about Lionel.

In this episode, Martha's attitude is very disappointing and inconsistent, explaining that in politics there are no black and white, but blurriness. Jonathan proves his integrity raising honest money to pay Lionel, but I suspect the price will be higher than the expected. At least I am absolutely disappointed with Martha. The dangerous friendship of Lana and Lex may cause troubles to Clark in the future. The stupid end of Sheriff Nancy Adams was totally unexpected and I regret too her absence in the show. Chloe, as usual, shows maturity in her relationship with Clark. My vote is seven.
