I, too, felt the Pete/Clark scene at the end was delicious. I was *so* cheering for Clark when he let the ball drop and walked away - for all the bitching Pete does about having to be Clark's friend, he doesn't hesitate to use it to his advantage. It makes me angrier to think how he always spouts that he has Clark's back compared to Lex, and that a Luthor can't be trusted. Seems to me Lex knows the rules better than any teenage boy with an inferiority complex could: and here, Clark had to rely on his ties with Lex to save Pete's ass on grounds that could only be described as 'stupid teenage crap'. Watching Clark walk away, I hoped Clark was thinking "well, at least Lex wouldn't try to gloss it over like that - hell, I bet Lex wouldn't get himself in that situation to begin with, would he?"
The barn scene - I felt it was a bit of a jealousy thing with Lex. I had the feeling he was not-asking Clark if he would steal for him and bend the rules a bit to show his twoo lofff. The fact that he didn't own up to it? Clark won't be getting any roses for Valentine's Day.
I wondered a bit why Lex didn't offer to fly in the best cardiologist for Bo like he usually would.
