However, when he sees how genuinely shocked and confused Lana is by this, with her saying she saw a sonograms of her baby, the doctor realizes she didn't do this and explains much more sympathetically that whatever she saw wasn't her own baby.

-->'''Lex''': You ran my car off the road a few nights ago. Investigators have boot prints, hair fibers, samples of the mud found in your apartment. How many years do you get for aggravated assault--ten, twenty?
-->'''Chloe''': For what you've done, they're gonna throw away the key.
-->'''Lex''': What I've done? You don't have a shred of proof about any of this, and you never will. But rest assured, the evidence I have against you is locked away safe and secure. Make that article disappear, and you'll remain a free woman. Deal?
-->'''Chloe''': My mother sacrificed everything to protect the world from scum like you. And if taking you down means spending some quality time behind bars, sign me up.
-->'''Lex''': You know, I thought you might say that. That's why there's a Plan B firmly in place a plan that makes prison look like a picnic.

-->'''Chloe''': Lex came to talk to me, Clark. Basically, he said it's either kill or be killed. The story or me.
-->'''Clark''': He threatened you?
-->'''Chloe''': I'm in his cross hairs.
-->'''Clark''': Yeah, well, now he's in mine.
-->'''Chloe''': Think about Lana. We can't do anything to him until we know she's safe.
-->'''Clark''': You're right. He'd feed her to the lions just to spite me. But it's inevitable. The war's about to begin.

-->'''Chloe''': It's just so unfair. I mean, she's never gonna be able to read any of the articles I've written, you know, or meet Jimmy. She's never gonna get to know the person that I've become.
-->'''Clark''': It's a good thing I told her.
-->'''Chloe''': You did?
-->'''Clark''': After I brought your mom to Oliver's apartment, I gave her the complete Chloe Sullivan bio. She was so proud.
