Previously on Smallville...
Lois.
Lois Lane?
She's the one who got this whole thing started.
Calling those costume vigilantes heroes?
And I thought those "Sex and The City" girls had gaudy taste.
You might tell that to its owner,
the Goddess Queen Isis.
She spent eternity searching for the cut-up pieces
of her dead husband.
But now that you're back, are we, uh, partners?
Of course.
Unless you're disappointed I'm not blonder.
Cat.
She's no Lois Lane.
People have these so-called vigilantes all wrong.
I am Green Arrow.
I'm sorry.
For everything I've done that's destroyed your trust.
You betrayed me, Tess.
What's your name?
I'm Alexander.
It's okay. I won't hurt you.
Yeah, uh, so, I'm not really sure about the spotlight.
You know, to me it seems a little...
Necessary. I want everyone to see you
the moment you start down from the skylight.
You want me to zip-line in?
Oh, it will make the gala.
We'll set you up with a wire and harness.
Imagine their faces as you come flying in --
daring, invincible.
The fans will love you.
Yeah, all right. Yeah, yeah, no, I like it.
But I'm not gonna need the wire.
I'll just go ahead and use my grappling gun for that.
Our insurance doesn't cover that,
which reminds me -- do you have a helmet?
Uh...
Okay, no harness, no helmet.
So after our guys finish moving everything
over to the exhibit hall,
we'll set up a platform next to the sarcophagus,
which is where... You'll land.
And then the Green Arrow girls will come out.
"Green Arrow girls." Really?
Billionaire by day and hero by night.
Oliver, you're better than Christmas.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
"Isis...
A tale of eternal love."
That's quite a title you chose.
You know, my love life may not be
in the same shape it was when I started funding this project,
but, uh, I still believe in the story.
And you're hoping that wherever she may be,
some feisty little blonde is gonna get the message.
Excuse me.
If only you still were the same guy that Chloe fell for
and not a caricature of him.
What are you up to, Oliver?
This city has embraced me.
I'm trying to give something back.
Groupie love isn't real love, Oliver.
You used to know that.
Do you even know what real love looks like anymore?
Oliver, we have a, uh, very serious problem.
The, uh, Amulet of Isis, is, uh, missing.
What a shame.
But what do they say, Oliver?
The show must go on.
Well, as far as I'm concerned,
the thief will get what they deserved.
According to legend, the necklace is cursed.
Whatever soul dares possess it will be condemned
to spend all of eternity in hell.
Clark, you don't have to hide the truth any longer.
I know your secret.
And I get why you didn't tell me for so long.
But the fact is,
knowing you're The Blur just makes me love you even more.
And I sound like a bad soap opera.
You know what I need?
I need a good headline -- something -- something snappy,
something like...
"Hey, Clark,
you were Blur-rific."
Damn it!
Really?
"Hey, Clark...
Do you remember when The Blur and I kissed?"
"How could I, Lois? I wasn't there."
"But you were.
Because I could tell it was you from the kiss."
"Does it change the way you feel about me?"
When I realized that the man I loved and the hero I admired
were the same person,
it was like everything just...Fit into place.
I'm -- I'm gonna start with coffee and doughnuts.
Carpe diem, Lois.
You can do this.
And by tomorrow,
you will be living in a brand-new world.

Concerned look. Stoic silence.
What are you wearing, anyway?
I'm telling Lois my secret.
Okay, that's officially
the biggest news I've heard all day.
Why now?
I saw the future... Recently.
Okay, now, that's officially
the biggest news I've heard all day.
You know you sound crazy when you talk like that, right?
In the future, Lois already knew about me.
What I didn't see was how I told her or when.
My instincts have always been to keep my secret,
but then I see five minutes of a future
that seems too good to be true, and --
so you came over here hoping that I would
try to talk you out of telling her, right?
No.
Maybe.
Well, I hate to break it to you, but I say "go for it."
Coming out was the best thing I ever did.
I can finally be myself around here.
And it turns out, people actually like the real me.
That's an understatement.
Look at this.
"For breakfast after a long night keeping us safe."
This is the sweetest thing.
Ohh. And...
...My new favorite cereal.
And they sent spoons.
If I remember correctly,
you coming out to Lois did not have a happy ending.
You told Lois the truth, and she dumped you.
That -- we broke up.
All right?
Look, Lois and I were never really meant to be together.
Clark, she loves you.
That makes you a lucky man.
Take it from me --
living without love is not really living.
It's just sort of...
Existing.
The question you have to ask yourself...
Is what are you willing to risk for love?
Morning, Lois.
Clark.
Doughnut?
You choose first.
There...Are so many choices.
Lois, I've been meaning -- I have a confession to --
uh...
Oh.
What were you gonna say, Clark?
Hi, hi.
Hope I'm not interrupting anything.
Hey.
Oh, doughnuts.
No, no.
Wow.
You Metropolis girls do have your own sense of...
Style, don't you?
You should see what's underneath the jacket.
Oliver asked me to cover the gala at the museum.
It's themed.
Oh, did you not get an invitation?
Tsk. Sucks.
Won't this be the greatest,
working together again?
Our names looked terrific side by side on that byline.
I mean, it's like we were meant to be partners, Clark.
You're the Popeye to my olive.
The Mickey to my Minnie.
The sick to my stomach.
A source confirmed the museum is missing a valuable artifact
from its new exhibit. I...
I thought we'd check out LuthorCorp's loading dock.
That's where this Amulet was supposed to arrive.
Hey, I've seen this fashion faux pas before --
when I was in Egypt.
I appreciate the, uh, offer,
but I'm already booked... On a personal interview.
The roof.
Well, it looks like you're gonna be playing
in that Saharan sandbox by yourself.
Don't get burnt.
If there was ever a time for my lucky lipstick.
So much for leaving Egypt behind.
Wow, you look beautiful.
Did you get that necklace for the gala?
It's so, um... Egyptian.
I must locate the treasures of Isis.
You mean the article th Cat's working on.
Where is this Cat now?
She's probably on her way to the LuthorCorp loading dock.
And I know that it goes against every bone in your body
not to chase down a lead, Lois,
but there is something... That's more important
that you need to know.
I wanted to tell you this before.
I just didn't know how.
Actually, I did tell you once before,
but everything got out of control.
And it wasn't your fault, though.
You were perfect.
I'm doing this all wrong.
You said this knowledge was of great importance to me.
I'm The Blur.
That is of no importance to me.
"Of no importance" as in it doesn't change
the way you feel about me,
or "no importance" as in you...
Lois.
Lois!
This vessel might have once been called "Lois,"
but now it serves Isis.
Female computerized voice: Carter Hall is offline.
Attempt failed.
Carter Hall is offline.
Attempt failed.
Just typical. You know?
I mean, just when we need a lesson
on how to de-Isis Lois,
Professor Hawkhead takes a sabbatical.
Oliver, we need help,
and there's one other person we can call --
Tess.
Did you hit your head?
"A," Tess can't be trusted.
"B," she can't do what Chloe did.
No one can take Chloe's place.
Then I hope you brushed up on your Egyptian history.
Courtesy of a once-lovely, now-livid museum curator.
I canceled tonight's gala.
Adrianna was not thrilled to hear that news.
I told her a friend had unexpectedly flown in.
Please tell me these books are gonna explain
what happened to Lois.
Whoa, whoa. The Isis myth isn't just about some Goddess.
It's about what people are willing to risk for love.
I had my lecture on love for the day.
Fair enough.
Her husband, Osiris, was killed by his brother, Set,
out of jealousy.
I guess being an only child does have some perks.
Anyway, Egyptians believed that a person's soul
remained in their heart.
So when Set dismembered Osiris' body
and scattered all the pieces --
he wanted to make sure that his soul never found peace.
Exactly, but the mighty Isis vowed to resurrect Osiris.
So she recovered his body piece by piece,
but she was never able to find the burial jar
containing his heart.
And to make sure that she never did,
Set trapped her spirit in an Smulet.
Now that she's back,
she's gonna finish what she started.
If we can find that jar, then she'll find us.
Oh! Clark.
Because of his lost soul,
Osiris was doomed to rule the Underworld for all eternity.
If Isis succeeds in resurrecting him,
his kingdom will also rise.
She will literally unleash Hell on Earth.
Hey! What are you doing here?
Osiris.
You are here.
I have missed you for so long.
What is this?
Two stories for the price of one.
I won't let you get away with another crime, Lois Lane --
at least not without snapping proof of it first.
Notes from my latest therapy session with Alexander.
He's...An unusual boy.
His intelligence if off the charts for someone his age.
Genius has a way of driving people insane.
Is he stable?
It may be too early to tell.
That's why I'd like to move the boy to a facility...
Where I can monitor him around the clock.
I'll make sure he's packed by morning.
Knock knock.
I know who this is.
Even when no one else believes in you,
he's the one person who loves you unconditionally.
The one you'd risk anything for.
You need Peter Pan and chicken noodle soup.
Excuse me?
That's what my little boy wants when he's not feeling well.
I know the look of a worried mother when I see one.
This boy's not my son.
Oh.
Well, with the red hair, I just assumed that...
Are you here to pitch the follow-up to your last piece
about the problematic squirrel population?
They're rodents...
And probably rabid.
Whatever.
Um...What I'm working on now
is a history-making headline.
I know the identity of The Blur.
And that so-called hero is right in your bullpen!
I'll admit that our H.R. office
needs a little bit of work, but --
being a reporter is the perfect cover for The Blur!
Y-you can be the first on scene,
and no one will question it.
Y-you can cover your own tracks.
You can blow your own horn!
You can be surrounded by people
who expose secrets for a living?
It's time the world knows the truth --
that The Blur is nothing but a liar and a thief.
Lois isn't gonna know what hit her.
Oh.
If this is just a petty attempt
for you to one-up a fellow reporter, Cat --
oh, I'm not trying to scoop Lois.
She is the scoop.
Lois Lane is The Blur.
Laugh all you want.
You mark my word, Tess Mercer --
I will expose The Blur's identity,
and I will bring down this hero menace
once and for all.
You're telling me Lois Lane has turned into Isis.
How the hell does that even happen?
The current theory involves an Amulet
that's supposed to be at the museum,
but is apparently around Lois' throat.
So let me get this straight.
Lois finds a necklace,
gets possessed by an Egyptian Goddess,
and now is flying around like Amelia Earhart,
minus the plane.
Just another Friday night in Metropolis.
Who's ready for the weekend?
I'll make sure I relay your message about Cat to Clark.
In the meantime, he and I can take care of the blonde and her bombshell.
You don't have to throw me out, Oliver.
I'm just trying to protect Clark.
Protect me from what?
Apparently the third wheel of your bullpen bus
thinks that Lois is The Blur.
Which is why I erased all the security footage
of Lois crumpling a metal door with her hand
and throwing a security guard across a warehouse.
Cat saw what she saw,
but at least now she can't prove it.
Thanks for the backup,
but we have another problem.
Lois found Osiris' heart, and now I can't find her.
Well, she still does have one more layover
before our nonstop to hell.
She has to reunite the heart --
with the body to make Osiris whole.
There's a sarcophagus at the exhibit.
It's rumored to hold an ancient priest
of the Underworld.
Now, I'm thinking --
that high priest is actually Osiris.
Kind of stole my thunder there, Tess.
Look, every one of those crates
has the name of the museum on it.
If Isis saw that, she'll know where the artifacts are headed.
It's only a matter of time
before we become permanent residents of the Underworld,
and we have no idea how to get this Egyptian genie
back in her bottle.
You don't, but I might.
Sure, yeah, just go ahead and make yourself at home.
Please do it somewhere else.
Off the laptop.
You don't trust me still.
Oliver, I get it,
but you need to take a step back
and look at the bigger picture.
Yeah, like the one that you're trying to paint yourself into?
Our team -- we protect secrets.
We don't keep them from one another.
I'm not sure you know the difference.
Lex kept a record
of all of LuthorCorp's active excavation sites.
Unfortunately, he also deleted it.
However, nothing in cyberspace is totally lost.
So it might take me a little bit of time
with your low-tech laptop here,
but I think that I can reconstruct the files.
Time's not a luxury we have. Please hurry.
Where are you going?
To try to prevent the end of the world.
At last...
My love...
We shall be together.
No.
No!
You can't bring him back. It's over.
It cannot be over.
It is eternal.
Even if his body was there, you can't risk Hell on Earth,
not just for love.
Then you do not know love.
I do.
The woman i love is the vessel you took over,
and I want her back.
You would not risk the world for her?
Not for such a selfish reason.
Then do not pretend what you feel is love.
For thousands of years,
my heart beat only for one man.
What you know of these things
is but the wisdom of a child.
Osiris was cut into a thousand pieces.
He was doomed to the underworld.
My spirit was ripped from my flesh and blood,
and I have waited lifetimes for him.
All of what we suffered...
Was worth what little time we had together,
and I would bear any cost to be reunited with him,
even for a moment.
Your memory will have to be enough.
Have you given this woman your heart?
She knows how I feel.
But you hold yourself back from her, hmm?
If you will not risk your heart completely...
...Then I will.
Isis, I know how much you love Osiris,
but you cannot sacrifice two lives just to see him again.
True love is worth any sacrifice.
Aah.
Time betrays us all.
Time is 11:23.
I'm on the hunt for The Blur.
I'm betting she'll come here, to the Met Museum,
looking for artifacts.
And when she does...
Surprise.
You're on "America's Un-Funniest Home Videos."
As once you lived, Osiris, so shall you live again.
Through the ritual of life, I shall restore your heart
and claim your body for the soul.
I will never understand liberals.
I bring you forth, my love, Osiris,
so that we may stand together and face eternity.
Forget about an article.
It's gonna land me a whole series.
Pulse with blood that once was spilled.
Beat again with love and life.
Take this body for your own,
and rise to rule from your rightful throne.
No!
Help! There's a crazy woman in tacky Gladiator boots after me!
Wait! No! No! Aah!
This isn't what I had in mind!
There's got to be an easier way
for a girl to get a date in this town.
Your heart is brave...
But I can see it belongs to a lonely soul,
a warrior with a vacant heart.
You try to fill it,
but the harder you try, the emptier it becomes.
Yeah, well, I may be lonely,
but I'm still gonna kick your Egyptian ass.
If you truly meant to harm me,
you would have done so by now.
But you do not wish to hurt this body.
Childhood hang-ups.
I was taught never to hurt a girl.
And I was taught never to hesitate.
The answer was in Lex's files.
Sunlight through the Amulet.
That's what'll trap you again, isn't it?
But in the dead of night,
where will you find the light of sun?
That's a good question.
Isis?
This ends now...
Or I will destroy Osiris' heart.
No.
Then release Lois.
I need her back.
I see now that I am doomed.
Our undying love shall be denied for eternity.
This vessel -- she loves you completely?
Yes.
You hold Osiris' heart in your hand.
What you take of mine, I shall take from yours.
Lois?
Clark?
Did we take a behind-the-scenes tour of the museum?
I love you, Clark,
but sometimes you are such a nerd.
You seem far away.
Sometimes you need to view things from a distance
in order to seem them more clearly.
You were right --
about me turning into a caricature of myself.
I shouldn't have said that.
The show I was putting on,
the...
The Green Arrow girls?
Was...
Emptiness I was trying to fill.
I was lying to myself, and...
You're one of the only ones that would call me on it.
Another one of those is Chloe.
God, I miss her.
I miss her laugh and...
Her strength,
the way her eyes lit up when I entered the room.
She really loved me.
I gave her a secret that was too hard to hold onto and...
...She paid the price for keeping it.
Oliver, when it comes to you,
no price was too high for Chloe.
I guess you can still spot real love.
I'm sorry for what I said.
Don't be.
It's the truth.
And there hasn't been a lot of that in my life.
Just like there hasn't been a lot of love.
Did I drive halfway across town just for an apology?
No.
It was so we could both give you something.
That's right.
Other than our solar-powered friend over here
doing that cool, eyeball-zap-through-the-amulet
thing that he did,
we couldn't have done it without you.
You took care of Cat,
and you figured out how to put Isis back in the Amulet.
You're pretty impressive with a low-tech laptop, too.
Now let's see what you can do
with something a little more powerful...
...Like Watchtower.
Welcome to the team.
Thank you.
You really think we can trust her?
We'll find out.
I came to take the boy, but security won't let me.
Under my orders.
Alexander's staying with me.
With all due respect,
you flew me here to observe the boy.
He doesn't need to be watched, doctor.
He needs to be loved.
And you think you can do that?
The boy's stability is in question.
Ultimately, he may prove dangerous.
Why would you risk your safety?
What do you see that I don't?
His heart.
Tess, did you see how much I grew since last week?
That's very impressive.
Soon you're gonna be taller than I am.
I brought a book for us to read.
It's the story of Peter Pan and his friend Wendy.
What's it about?
It's about...
The adventures of growing up.
I think you'll like it.
I love you, Tess.
"All children,
except one, grow up..."
"They soon know that they will grow up.
And the way Wendy knew was this..."
Lois, those copies you asked for.
Thank you. Welcome.
Ow!
What the hell?!
Ladies, who wants to go first?
She stabbed me! She's The Blur!
That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
And I thought you were a bottle blonde.
Cat, there's something you should know.
Don't even bother protecting her, Clark.
I know the truth, and I have proof.
What kind of proof?
Photographic.
I caught little miss liar
conducting some sort of satanic...
S-e-x ritual last night.
I couldn't see who else was there,
but once I print those photos, it won't matter --
I'll have my evidence!
And everyone will see The Blur
for the devious menace she is!
First, are you 12?
And second, I may be no angel, honey,
but I am definitely not into the devil.
Oh, yeah?
Why don't I show you pictures?
Then we'll see what you have to say.
Should make for a great quote.
Oh, my God.
Those are my only copies!
Well, that's a rookie mistake.
You need to always back up your evidence.
Pretend all you want, Lois,
but there's just no other explanation.
Actually, there is.
Lois was possessed by the spirit of Isis.
Now, I may have kept my youthful good looks,
but I wasn't born yesterday.
I'm not buying it, Clark!
Well, your only options are cash or credit,
because Clark just told you the truth.
This is Metropolis.
Weird things happen all the time.
Get used to it.
I know the pen is mightier than the sword,
but Cat was off her rocker.
I mean, Lois Lane is amazing,
but you and I both know
that I'm not the world's greatest superhero.
Lois, I'm sorry you had to get a ballpoint in the hand
for the truth to come out.
The truth. Right.
About The Blur?
Who he is?
The big mystery?
Of course, he never told me his identity.
So I guess I don't even really know him.
But...
I feel like I do.
The thing is, Clark...
The Blur and I, I mean, we --
we have this special bond.
Actually, it's kind of like what you and I have together.
Because I...
God, I wish you were a mirror.
'Cause I
What I'm really trying to say to you is that...
I know you.
But you don't know The Blur.
He's probably keeping it a secret for a reason.
He's never gonna tell me, is he?
Not if it means putting your life at risk.
I wish he knew that I was willing to take that risk.
All my life I've been afraid, Lois --
afraid of people knowing the truth about me...
Afraid of them rejecting me --
and even if they didn't, still losing them.
I've been afraid of everything I can't control.
But when I was faced with the idea of losing you forever,
it made me realize there's something that I would regret
more than anything else,
and that's not telling you the truth about me.
'Cause that's the only way we could share a life together.
I know the odds are stacked against us
and we'd be risking everything,
but if you're ready to take that leap,
there's no one else that I'd want to take that leap with.
Lois, you've had a lot of questions about The Blur.
It's me.
I'm The Blur.
What took you so long?
What?
You...
