This was an extremely unremarkable episode until the very end, when Lex has Grant/Jullian killed. Watching Lex turn into a monster is the best thing this show has to offer. You can almost feel bad for him. Jullian is the one thing that mattered most to him. He brought Jullian back to life, only to kill him to protect his own interests. This is the Lex I've been waiting so long to see. The Lex that would kill his own brother. Poor Lex, is this what he imagined he'd grow up to become?
The Bizarro story was pointless, I guess? It seemed like the only purpose of the Bizarro story was to make everyone hate Lana even more than they already did. Which should be impossible, but the writers keep finding new ways to make Lana even more awful. Lana sassed off at Chloe when Chloe told Lana that something was wrong with Clark. She pulled out the daggers and told Chloe to get over her schoolgirl crush on Clark (in so many words). Then, when the real Clark came back and told Lana that the guy she'd been banging and making plans to move away with was actually Bizarro, she didn't even believe him!
And she fell in love with Bizarro. Which is fine, you're allowed to love whoever you want! But that doesn't change it. She loved Bizarro. She was not lying when she said she'd never been more in love than she had been the past month with Bizarro. This would have been the best episode ever if she had left with Bizarro after that, instead of killing him. But you know. I'm sure, in that moment, that she understood how Lex felt after killing his brother.
