    Nightmare at Luthor Corp.

    After having a scary nightmare, Jason Teague is interned in Metropolis Health Center with risk of death. Clark Kent and Chloe Sullivan decide to investigate, and find that Jason had had a meeting at Luthor Corp. a couple of hours before. They go to the plant, and Chloe has the same trouble. Sooner, many dwellers of Smallville have the same mysterious disease, and Clark finds that it is caused by an experimental bacteria released from Luthor Corp.'s laboratory after an explosion in the facility, and the team of scientists is working in an antidote. Meanwhile, Lionel Luthor is released from prison.

    "Scare" is an episode that recalls "A Nightmare on Elm Street", where Luthor Corp. would be the Freddy Krueger. The story is excellent, and the nightmare of Lex Luthor recalls a scene of "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines". I have a guess of who set Lionel Luthor free from the prison. My vote is nine.

    Title (Brazil): "Susto" ("Scare")

    • Quotes

      Lana Lang: [entering her apartment] Egg fu yung to the rescue.

      [she notices Jason packing his bags]

      Lana Lang: So... if I'd waited around for the Peking duck, you'd have what, been gone?

      Jason Teague: No, I would have been here. Trying to figure out what to say.

      Lana Lang: I... I don't understand. Is this because of your mom? You've been different ever since I met her.

      Jason Teague: No, I've been different ever since I came to Smallville. I mean, six months ago, I would have never gone to someone like Lex and groveled for a job that I don't even want. The worst part is I was too embarrassed to even tell you about it.

      Lana Lang: Since when have you ever been embarrassed around me?

      Jason Teague: Exactly. I don't like this person I'm becoming, Lana, and I don't want to wait around for you to resent me as much as I resent myself, so...

      Lana Lang: That's not why you're leaving. The one thing I learned from my relationship with Clark is when someone isn't being honest with me. Jason... just tell me the truth.

      Jason Teague: [kissing her on the cheek] Be careful.

      [she starts to cry as he leaves]
