Smallville 97

Lexmas
Season 5 Episode 09

Lex Luthor is shot and left for dead. As in most Christmas Episode he has a Christmas Carol moment. His mother's ghost shows him an alternate life where, seven years after he is shot he's married to Lana and he has left his father behind. They have one kid and she's pregnant with another one.

In the B plot Chloe needs to deliver toys for tots but, the delivers are on strike, so she enlist Clark's help. While delivering presents Clark runs into a drunk Santa that's about to jump.

The Luthor's go to the Kent’s Christmas party where Jonathan is Senator. Jonathan gives him the heads up that Lex has won Kansas Humanitarian Award. Lana goes into labor during the party. At the hospital Lana has a baby girl named Lilly and then has complication from the birth.

Santa is distraught that there is no Christmas spirit left. Clark proceeds to explain to Santa that he and Chloe have give up there Christmas Eves with their friends and family to deliver the present. Santa then falls off the roof where Clark run down the building and catches Santa.

Lex goes to Lionel for help to save Lana and Lionel refuses. Lana dies and Lex wakes up. Lex hires a shadow man to find or make something damaging on Jonathon so that he can have the power to secure his dreams.

Santa comes to the daily planet to help deliver then presents. After Chloe turns around to give Santa the addresses, Santa and all the present are gone. Chloe tells Clark what happen. They believe that it was the true Saint Nick.




It was interesting to see Lex relationship with Lana. Through the episode I was wondering if Clark was married to Chloe or not in Lex's Alternate life. If Lex was having an alternate life vision does that mean Jonathan and Chloe don't died in the future? Or was it a product of his imagination? Or does it mean that Lex is directly part of the cause of Jonathon 's death. It's interesting that they still have Clark destined to become a reporter.
