When Lana is being stalked by an unknown person, she seeks refuge at the Kent Farm. Jimmy confronts Clark about his relationship with Chloe.
Tropes present in the episode:
- Continuity Nod: Lex brings up how Clark tried to choke the life out of him in the previous episode.
- Darker and Edgier: An unknown (and possibly invisible) killer stalking someone makes this one of the darker episodes of the series.
- Kick the Dog: In the final act, Lex drops by the Kent Farm to personally give Clark an invitation to his and Lana's wedding, so Clark can be reminded of what he lost.Lex: [after giving Clark the invitation] Don't look so surprised, Clark. Lana still cares about you, I know that. And I know what it would mean to her having you there.Clark: Is that really what you want, Lex?Lex: What I want? What I want is to make Lana happy for the rest of her life. And I want you to be there on our wedding day to see what you lost. Make sure you RSVP; we need a head count for the reception.
- Mundanger: The "invisible stalker" was one of the bodyguards the whole time.
- Villain of the Week: A non-powered Stalker with a Crush that somehow hits closer to home than the garden-variety meteor freaks we've come to expect.
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Jimmy's investigations lead our heroes to a paparazzi, heavily implied to be the guy flash-photographing Lana on two occasions, considering that the real stalker kills him after the second one.
