"I love you too," he tells April sincerely, knowing that it won't erase the hurt he caused, but hoping that it will help. That she can start trusting him again, because his faith in her was restored with the cure.
"It almost didn't," he says to Victor, very seriously. "Getting me to go along with it, that is. I think I was about this close to imagining you turning on me too, and it never would've worked if that had happened. Or you would've had to corner me with green kryptonite to catch me. Chloe tried but she didn't want to get close enough to incapacitate me, and I got away." He may not remember a lot of specific details, but being subjected to kryptonite for real tends to be more vivid. "It really was just luck. And... I'm sorry for saying I would kill you." He's very, very glad that they went someplace with a red sun, where he couldn't hurt her.
