Last night's was a top-notch episode of "Smallville." Titled "Truth", it focuses on girl reporter Chloe Sullivan who, during at attempt to blackmail Lionel Luthor, inhales a Kryptonite-laced gas that compels anyone she questions (except Clark) to tell the truth.
For a while the power is a reporter's dream: Chloe uses her cell phone to record Lionel's admission that he blacklisted her father out of work; Pete declares his love for her; Lana reveals plans for art school in Paris; Lex reveals he just wants his dad to love him. Of course, the gas turns out to be highly toxic, its antidote untested.
The most tempting secret is Clark himself. Chloe is on her way to get the truth from the Kents when a disgruntled classmate rams her car into a guard rail. Clark arrives just in time to heft both cars out of danger and administer the antidote to a shocked Chloe.
The episode ends with Chloe accessing her cell phone records only to hear a message from Lionel: "Don't bother looking for our little conversation, Miss Sullivan. That's gone." Evil.
