"That's what I said," Martha tells April with a small smile, also unaware which one of them will end up bearing that title. "After Jack had to resign, it leaves Lex almost unopposed. The state needs someone honest and hardworking who'll represent the interests of the farmers who live here."

"All right," Jonathan concedes. "I suppose I can't stand by and let a Luthor run Kansas." He looks serious, and faces Clark. "You did see me and Lionel, but he was offering to fund my campaign against Lex."

Clark's a little relieved to hear that, because he still can't tell what all he saw was real and what wasn't, although he's a little surprised to hear that Lionel doesn't want his son playing politics.

Chloe gives a modest shrug at her own attention. "I won't lie in any articles, not for political reasons, but if something happens I'll gladly redirect people away from Clark. And who knows, this could be the start of an awesome career."
