Wait.
I have a surprise for you.
Well, I like surprises.
But I don't like to wait.
It'll be worth it.
Trust me.
No!
Come on! Get out of the car!
Hey!
Get out!
Shut up!
Come on!
Get up!
Come on!
Yeah.
Come on!
You want some of this?
They don't,
but I do.
Oliver?
Okay, I�m pretty open-minded, but ***
hide-and-seek really isn't my game.
Okay, you win.
Ollie, Ollie, whatever, whatever.
Okay, Oliver, this isn't funny.
Where are you?
Good one, Lois.
Don't worry.
The cops will have a key.
Surprise.
"Rage"
Mom, I know I have a big appetite, but
you got enough food here to feed a small army.
I thought it'd be a good idea to invite a few
people over for Thanksgiving this year.
Actually, I was hoping
we could keep it low-key.
I�m not feeling very
thankful this year.
Well, I know it's gonna be a hard day, Clark,
especially after what just happened to Raya, but
company could help.
Mom, it was dad's holiday.
He carved the turkey.
I can carve this year.
Mom, he was the one who made sure
we all said what we were thankful for.
He always made sure that I was thankful
for my abilities.
But you know what? He was wrong.
If I was normal, he
would still be here
carving the turkey with
grandpa's old carving knife.
Hey.
So you can scratch Oliver's name
off the Thanksgiving guest list --
Or any other guest
list, for that matter.
I�m solo.
Well, that's too bad.
What happened?
Last night he pulled another one
of his trademark disappearing acts --
smack in the middle of a date.
Well, I�m sorry, Lois.
Oh, don't be.
I mean, who's kidding
who here? We had no future.
He's a world-renowned billionaire, and I am
a nail-biting, talon-doling tabloid reporter.
Lois, I�m sure you'll find someone
who's better suited for you.
Yeah, I know, I know--
Life goes on.
At least for some people.
Have you heard the news?
The Green Arrow
was shot last night.
It's in today's Planet.
A man found him bleeding and ran for help,
but when the cops finally got there,
all that was left was a bloodstain.
Lex?
I found the charitable organization
I want to focus on.
It's second chance halfway house.
I have the time, and I heard you
mention their name on the phone,
and then I found
this brochure.
What an amazing program.
I don't see why they can't be
in every city in this country.
Lana,
you'd be in contact with violent
criminals just released from prison.
Maybe from time to time, but
mostly I�d be at the central office.
Look, why not channel your energy into the youth
foundation or the center for victims' rights?
Because this is
what I want to do.
I�m just trying to protect you.
What is it with people feeling
like they have to protect me?
Lex, I don't need
to be watched over.
I didn't say you did.
I want you to be safe.
Well, this isn't about
what you want.
This is about what I want.
Pick any other project.
I�m sorry.
Looking awfully healthy.
It's called exercise, Clark.
It's something we mere mortals
have to do from time to time.
According to the daily planet, the
Green Arrow was shot last night.
If I was shot, don't you think I�d
be laying in a hospital or a morgue?
I�m not bulletproof
like you are, Clark.
Besides,
you of all people should know better than to
believe everything you read in the newspaper.
It's the daily planet,
not the inquisitor.
A witness saw you
lying in a pool of blood.
Well, maybe it was someone
else with a preference for green.
What's your Green Arrow gear doing
out in the middle of the room?
I�m uploading a video.
Check this out.
See that?
Now I�ve got footage of the scumbags,
so if they try to get away,
I can track them down.
Oliver, you're getting sloppy.
Your gear's in the middle of the room,
the door's unlocked.
That could have
been Lois coming through the door.
Hey, you know what? I�ve had
a lot on my mind lately, all right?
Apparently, you were too busy
using your powers to bale hay
than to realize there's
a crime wave in Metropolis.
Let me ask you a question.
Are you ever gonna get off your ***
and finally do something for a change?
I didn't come here
to be insulted.
There's the door.
I don't
remember you being invited.
Oliver, what's
going on with you?
Clark, I don't need to
take advice from someone
whose only worry in life
is to protect his own identity.
That's a lie.
You know it.
Let me tell you something.
When I�m out
on the streets, I�m protecting people, all right?
I got much bigger things to
worry about -- Like staying alive!
You okay?
- I�m fine.
Just get out of here.
- You sure?
Go!
Come in.
Wow.
Since when did you turn the
apartment into a florist shop?
They're from Oliver.
Wait a second.
The guy smothers you with
flowers, and you forget everything he's done?
Please.
I�m not that gullible.
The whole botanical overkill is just
a lame attempt to beg forgiveness.
Well, if he shows up in person to beg
for forgiveness, don't answer the door.
Lois, I went to talk to
him at his apartment.
You didn't.
- What were you thinking?
- I was looking out for you.
I have 20/20 vision, Smallville.
I look out for myself.
When I was in his apartment,
I found a needle and a syringe.
Unless they're doctor-prescribed,
I think Oliver's doing drugs.
This actually explains a lot.
All those times he disappeared.
I should have known.
He said that Thanksgiving
was a hard time of year --
Made him think about his parents.
Lois, I think you might
want to keep your distance.
He has a substance-abuse
problem, not leprosy.
I am not going to abandon
him when he needs me the most.
He's not himself right now,
and based on his behavior,
I don't think he's someone
you want to be around.
Well, see, that's the difference
between you and me, Clark.
I don't desert people
when they need help.
You're a miracle worker, Doc.
We need to talk, Mr.
Queen.
We certainly do.
I finally found myself injured
badly enough to use the RL65.
And it works -- Perfectly.
And not just once -- I cut my hand,
And after one injection,
I was completely healed.
Well, don't take any more.
Last time I checked,
doctor, you work for me.
The lab mice have been exhibiting
irrational cognitive behavior.
And more troubling,
violent tendencies.
I�m not a mouse.
I feel fine.
Do you? No lapses in judgment?
No sudden outbursts of anger?
Not really.
But I am starting to feel
one coming on right now.
It's not worth risking
possible psychosis
just so you can climb mount Everest
or parachute out of your Learjet.
This isn't about my
recreational activities, doctor.
We're on the verge of a medical
breakthrough that could save countless lives.
I�m more than honored
to be the guinea pig.
Trust me.
I can handle the
occasional temper tantrum.
Okay.
Well, I�ll talk to you
after the break, senator.
You have a happy
Thanksgiving, too.
Bye bye.
Hi.
Come on in.
I was
just about to call you.
I didn't get your rsvp.
Ah.
Well, that is why
I�m here.
I, um
came in person to, uh, tell you
That I, uh, won't be coming for
Thanksgiving dinner.
Well, that's too bad.
I was really
looking forward to seeing you.
After Lillian died, I somehow decided
that I would stop celebrating Thanksgiving.
Why don't you make an exception and celebrate
with us? We'd really love to have you.
I don't think Clark would agree.
The holiday's going to be, uh,
difficult this year without
extra complications for him.
You're not a complication, Lionel.
You're
a part of my life now,
and I�m very thankful for that.
Do you know what
that means to me?
Do you know what
you mean to me?
Martha, I
I-I didn't mean to.
I�m
sorry.
I-I�m so sorry.
I take it this wasn't a party favor.
I broke into his apartment.
There might
be some residue still left on it.
I�d call Oliver Queen a lot of things,
but I never thought I�d call him a junkie.
Chloe, I don't think
he's getting high.
Come on, Clark.
You of all people should
know that everyone has their secrets.
Besides, it's not that much
of a stretch to think that
a jet-setting billionaire might
have a little habit to hide.
Can you just get it checked out?
We'll know for sure.
I�ll text my biochem buddy at met "u.
"
Hopefully he hasn't left
for Thanksgiving already.
Hey, that Green Arrow story --
That victim actually see him get shot?
No.
But the people that own
the car did come forward
and say that he saved them
from a carjacking that night.
He hasn't been spotted since.
Um, so I�m just gonna get
this syringe to my chemist.
Great.
Why don't you head out, and I will get
ahold of you as soon as I find anything?
- Are you trying to get rid of me?
- No! Why would I want to do that?
Lana.
Hi.
Us, girls were just
gonna get some lunch.
That's great.
Uh, have a good time.
Well, that wasn't awkward at all.
I tried to keep the heavenly bodies from
colliding, but there's only so much I can do.
I want you to check something
out for me before we go.
Okay.
My Google is your Google.
What do you need?
I�m curious about this halfway house
that Luthor Corp foundation supports.
I offered to get involved, but Lex won't let
me anywhere near it.
He says it isn't safe.
Most halfway houses aren't
exactly amusement parks, Lana.
I don't think that's it.
Lex swears that he's honest with me, but
lately he's--he's been a little secretive.
I don't know.
Maybe
I�m reading into it.
No, I think you're just being
cautious, which is smart.
Don't worry.
We'll
figure things out.
Are you all right?
L ana!
Lana?
Are you okay?
What happened?
From where I was sitting, it looked like
you fainted.
Let's get you to a doctor.
No.
It's okay.
Can we keep
my little siesta between us?
I really wouldn't want
anyone worry.
Well, it's a little late fo
that, but yeah.
Okay.
Surprise!
I didn't, uh --
Get away from me or I swear to
God I�ll rip your green head off.
I�m calling the cops!
See? 911.
Hello?
Hello?
911?
I need an ambulance.
Hurry.
Have you ever fainted before?
Three times, all in the last month.
And these headaches you've been having,
would you describe the pain as sharp or dull?
Sharp, like a knife.
And it's getting worse.
I have tried all of the over-the-counter
pain relievers, but none of them work.
They're just migraines, right?
Just a few more tests,
we'll have a clearer picture.
Martha.
I�m so glad
you came here.
I haven't been able to
stop thinking about
about what happened.
I
I wanted to apologize for --
I didn't come here for an apology,
Lionel.
You did nothing wrong.
I did.
I had no right to
presume that I could --
Lionel, look.
There's something between us.
What it is, I don't think
either of us knows, but
I do know I�m not
ready to find out.
Not yet.
I understand.
I don't think you do understand.
I value our relationship.
I really want you to be
with me for Thanksgiving.
Well, then, of course
I will be there.
Lois, what happened?
Well, lucky for me, I walked in on Green Arrow
pulling a reverse Santa Claus on Oliver's apartment.
The Green Arrow did this to you?
I guess it was only a matter of time before
he hit up the new billionaire in town.
Luckily, I was able to get in
a few solid licks of my own.
He'll be nursing a couple
broken ribs, for sure.
Have you talked to Oliver yet?
Has he visited you here in the hospital?
No.
I tried him on all his numbers,
and he was nowhere to be found.
Clark, I�m nervous.
Either he's on some kind of crazy drug
bender or Green Arrow has gotten to him.
Lois, don't worry.
I promise I�ll do everything
I can to track him down.
Yeah.
That'll be a big help.
Look, I�ll just call Chloe.
I�ll take that.
I put a bullet in your chest.
And now you're gonna pay for it.
I don't think so.
Hey, buddy.
How did you survive that fall?!
Yoga.
Now, let go of me!
Tell me how you were able
to heal or I�m calling the cops!
You'll call anyway.
You may be able to heal, but that
doesn't mean you don't feel pain!
- let go!
- You start talking!
There's this doctor comes
to the halfway house.
We get these shots
they say are vitamins.
That's some kind of vitamin, huh?
What's the doctor's name?!
How am I supposed to know?!
What does he look like?!
It's not a he.
She's a chick.
Waste not, want not.
What happened, doctor? Bad batch?
The project's shut down.
Look, I might have come
into this game a little late,
but I�m paying you
a lot more than Queen.
He isn't shutting down anything.
You're right.
I am.
And I could care less
about your petty rivalry.
This has gone beyond
one-upmanship, doctor.
Your research is now
a personal cause of mine.
Find another cause.
I won't be
responsible for any more violence.
You should have thought about
that when you took my money.
I admit I was blinded by greed.
But now that people are getting hurt,
money means nothing to me.
I�m going back to the drawing board.
All existing RL65 is
being destroyed.
I�m sorry, doctor.
I can't let you do that.
Hey, how's Lois?
Physically, she's fine,
but she's looking for Oliver.
I can't find him anywhere.
Maybe this will help.
My science geek analyzed the liquid
in that syringe and you're right.
No one's gonna take
it and go to a rave.
It's a cutting-edge molecular modifier that
has something to do with tissue regeneration?
- So it has some sort of healing power.
- Conceivably.
But according to my Einstein, it also packs a mean
punch to a part of your brain called the amygdala,
which triggers violent
and aggressive behavior.
Now, why in god's name would Oliver
be injecting something like that?
I don't know.
But we better find him
before he does something he regrets.
Who created the drug?
A woman named Pamela Black is the
only one doing that level of research.
She's a professor at Princeton and has been taking
a recent sabbatical to work with Queen industries.
If she's supplying the drugs, then most
likely Oliver is gonna show up for more.
She's dead.
And her place has been
completely pillaged.
Look, drugs or no drugs, I can't
believe Oliver would kill someone.
I don't think it
was Oliver, Clark.
It was the Green Arrow.
Looks like our green hero has made the leap
from Robin Hood to cold-blooded killer.
I just don't understand why
a scientist was his target.
Chloe.
Clark!
These folders are from a halfway house
in Metropolis called second chance.
This doctor, she was giving the kids there
the same drugs that Oliver was taking.
Lex's foundation funds
this halfway house.
Lex co-opted Oliver's scientist.
Those two have been at
each other since high school.
And the Green Arrow got in the way.
Ever the crusader for
the underprivileged,
he must have gotten wind of Dr.
Black's secret
experiments and taken care of her his own way.
If the Green Arrow found out that
Luthor Corp was behind this,
Lex could be the next target.
I�m sorry.
I�m looking for Lex.
Uh he's not here.
Are you okay?
Lana, what is it?
It's nothing.
I�m fine.
You don't look fine.
You can talk to me.
It's okay.
It is.
Do you ever wish that you
could go back in time and
everything would be different?
All the time.
What happened? What did
What did Lex do?
He didn't do anything.
If you're in trouble, Lana, I can help.
Clark, this has nothing
to do with you.
Could you please just go?
Your car's ready, sir.
Sorry, Luthor.
Work's not over yet.
What is this?
Sign on the dotted line,
and all your assets
will be divided among the
Would you mind telling me
what I�ve done to deserve this?
After your lofty support of the
second chance halfway house,
I think it's a natural step.
I went by to pay
the facility a visit,
and after some gentle prodding, the director told me
what you and Dr.
Black were doing to the residents.
She was lying.
I went to pay the good doctor
a visit, and guess what.
She's dead.
I knew you weren't a saint, Luthor,
But killing a woman to cover your tracks?
You're delusional.
Sign it.
What the hell are you doing?
It's out of ink.
Drop it!
You first.
What do you think is faster,
an arrow or a bullet?
There's only one way to find out.
Oliver!
What have you done?
He pulled a gun, Clark.
I had no choice.
Lex?
Lex?
Let nature take its course.
Oliver, that's the drugs talking.
It's not you.
That drug is the best thing that
ever happened to me, Clark.
I�m not bulletproof
like you, all right?
I got to do whatever it takes.
I need that drug.
Oliver, you're not a killer!
No, but he is, Clark
You and I both know the world's
a better place without Lex Luthor.
That's not for us to decide.
Oliver
Where are the drugs?
Lex -- He took it all.
He took it all from the lab.
Let him die.
You killed him.
You killed him.
Who am I dealing with,
Jekyll or Hyde?
Just plain old Oliver today, Clark.
You haven't broken any glasses.
That's a good sign.
Right.
What made you
come to your senses?
Actually, you did.
This whole time, I just wanted be like
Clark Kent, you know? I wanted to, uh
I wanted to have the ability to
bring justice to the world
without having to worry about
getting killed in the process.
And then something occurred
to me, and I realized that, uh
Clark Kent would never
take another man's life.
I came within an inch
of doing just that.
I�m not even
in your league.
Oliver, you do a lot
of good in this world.
You don't need to be
indestructible to be a hero.
Yeah.
Well, you're right.
You're right.
Yeah.
Um
I should be thankful for who I am, right,
and the abilities that I have.
I know that.
Me too.
Now, come on.
You can't be alone
on Thanksgiving.
The bird's waiting.
Thanks, Clark.
I appreciate
the offer, but I can't.
I
Look, Lois is gonna be there,
and I�m pretty sure she doesn't even
want to be in the same ZIP code as me.
Now that you're back on track,
I�m sure Lois is gonna want you there.
Trust me.
Whoa.
Trust you?
What happened to all the lectures about guys with
secret identities not being able to handle relationships?
The truth is, you and I are different.
And Lois isn't Lana.
If you two are meant to be together,
then who am I to stand in the way?
Hey! Are you feeling any better?
Hanging in there.
Make yourself comfortable.
I did my due diligence on the second
chances halfway house, and I found --
Chloe, um I�m not here to
talk about the halfway house.
Okay.
But there's some stuff I think you
should know about, Lana -- about Lex.
I don't want to hear anything
more about Lex.
I can't.
What's going on?
Lana, what happened?
Hey, you know you
can tell me anything.
Chloe
I�m pregnant.
Okay.
There.
Did you cook that
on the barbecue?
It's a little crispy on the outside,
but it's what's on the inside that counts.
I�m sure it's delicious.
Clark, would you put the
hot plate on the table, please?
Did you talk to Oliver today?
Don't go there, Smallville.
I think that's for you.
Hmm.
Jimmy says hi from his mom's house,
and ever the reporter, he sends news.
I guess the Metropolis P.
D.
arrested Pamela Black's killer,
And you were right.
It wasn't the Green Arrow.
It was some kid from
the halfway house.
I�d bet anything that Lex
is somehow behind this.
Maybe.
I doubt we'll be
able to prove it, though.
I guarantee you Lex's shredders
are doing some serious overtime.
Does Lana know about this?
It's just I went by the mansion the other day,
and she was really upset about something.
Is she all right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
As far as I know.
She's fine.
Oliver.
Happy turkey day.
Where you been?
I�ve been worried about you.
Yeah.
Um
Listen, that's all over now.
I�m like a walking
drug-free zone, honest.
So if I were to hug you right now, I wouldn't
stab myself on any stray needles?
Get over here.
I�m so sorry I ever hurt you.
- Ooh.
- Wow!
If I could have everyone's
attention, please, um,
I�d like to make a
little announcement.
Our family has a tradition
That goes back way
before I was even born
where everyone
takes a moment to
say what they're most
thankful for in their lives.
I would just like to say
that I�m most thankful for
my mom and dad
whose faith in me taught me
to have faith in myself.
Thank you.
Let's eat.
You haven't said
a word all night.
Is everything okay?
Everything's fine.
Happy Thanksgiving.
