8	----
9	!!Tropes present in the episode:
10
11	* AccidentalTruth: Right at the start, the sheriff tells Clark that the blue crystals in the water are why he's "never got so much as a common cold". He turns out to be covering up what the townsfolk ''believe'' the source of their vitality to be, but it actually is the Blue K.
12	* BaldOfEvil: In the final scene, Alexander shaves his head bald, evincing that the original Lex's memories are starting to gain prominence.
13	* BridalCarry: Clark carries Lois this way while speeding away from Meeker Springs.
14	* DoNotCallMePaul: Alexander, as he starts to embrace Lex's memories.
15	-->'''Alexander''': My name is ''Lex''!
16	* ContinuityNod: In the teaser, as Clark and Lois are driving, Lois brings up every Kryptonian escapade and thing they have seen or gone through:
17	** Their trip to the Phantom Zone in Season 8.
18	** Doomsday crashing Chloe and Jimmy's wedding.
19	** Finding Kara's spaceship in Season 7.
20	* DramaticIrony: The townspeople of Meeker Springs are completely unaware that the [[PowerNullifier Blue Kryptonite in their bodies suppresses Clark's powers]]. When Clark finally manages to use them, they are too terrified to come near him when they would have been been able to stop him if they had.
21	* TheFundamentalist: Joseph Cavanaugh
22	* GeneticMemory: Alexander is starting to remember the original Lex's memories.
23	* GodGuise: Sort of. After the townspeople witness Clark survive the Blue Kryptonite flames and believe it's a divine sign, Lois tells them that Clark is a messenger sent from the heavens and warns if they make him angry, he'll raze their town. It works.
24	-->'''Lois''': Yes, it's a sign. Move back. ''Way'' back! Far away from him. You are not worthy to be in his presence. Drop your weapon and beg for forgiveness. No, I don't think you get it. He is a-a messenger sent from the heavens!
25	-->'''Joseph''': I don't believe you.
26	-->'''Lois''': Oh, you better believe it, because if you don't listen, [[Film/PulpFiction he will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger!]] And he will use his-his heat vision to raze your village and his super-breath to smite your crops!
27	-->'''Clark''': Amen!
28	* HealingFactor: After Clark shields Lois against a rain of Blue Kryptonite fire with his back, it heals within seconds.
29	* IDidWhatIHadToDo: Joseph's reason to sacrifice his own daughter. He becomes angry at Lois for bringing her up and pointing out how wrong it was, he says it was for the good of his village.
30	* {{Mundanger}}: The townspeople of Meeker Springs, though they may count as EmpoweredBadassNormals since they have [[PowerNullifier Blue Kryptonite]] in their systems.
31	* PowerNullifier: It turns out the people of Meeker Springs have been drinking water irradiated by Blue Kryptonite, which suppresses a Kryptonian's superpowers but gives the townspeople excellent health.
32	* PsychoticSmirk: Alexander imitates his predecessor's quite nicely in the final scene.
33	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Alexander gives one to Tess, outlining her desire to exorcise her own demons by clinging to powerful men like Oliver, Lex, Zod, and Clark.
34	-->'''Tess''': I will help you.
35	-->'''Alexander''': Why? So you can feel good about yourself? So you can exorcise those demons deep within your soul? Isn't that what you've always wanted? To save the world so you could redeem the evil inside you?
36	-->'''Tess''': Stop it.
37	-->'''Alexander''': But you couldn't do it alone, so you clung to powerful men.
38	-->'''Tess''': Enough!
39	-->'''Alexander''': First Oliver Queen, then me, then Zod. And now, Clark Kent.
40	* TakingTheBullet: Clark shields Lois from the Blue Kryptonite fire.
41	* TheirFirstTime: At the episode's end, Clark and Lois finally sleep together.
42	* TownWithADarkSecret: Meeker Springs, whose townspeople sacrifice an innocent woman to appease {{God}}.
43	* VillainOfTheWeek: The townspeople of Meeker Springs, specifically Joseph Cavanaugh.
44	* WouldHurtAChild: Tess slaps Alexander after he gives her a [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech speech]] about how she's trying to deal with her problems by clinging to strong men. [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone She immediately regrets it.]]
