Guide's description:

One of the volunteers on Lex's campaign staff is far too devoted to the cause, and takes matters into her own hands, hatching a scheme that even shocks Lex. Meanwhile, Martha makes a deal with Lionel.

Whoa and wow! Things are really hotting up in this season ;D Loved this one! So much Lex, and Lionel.

DaddyLuthor is really making the moves on Martha

A little tip for Clarkie boy - if he's so worried, he should spend more time practicing on his own

You can't beat crazies, politics, and lust for power to get the job done!

Good ep...is John Schneider looking younger every week , or is it just me ?
Was I the only one hiding behind the door when that gal shaved her hair off

Isn't Lex the nicest megalomaniac we know ;D

[Allison]

Hmm someday be able to watch smallville... perhaps I should just illegally download eps from Kazaa.....

Isn't Lex the nicest megalomaniac we know

He sure is! And he'd be eminently redeemable if only his erstwhile friends would put in some effort But then again, we likes him bad, don't we, even if he is charmingly shades of gray bad

I think DaddyKent's senatorial haircut makes him look years younger, yes.

I was kinda freaked by head-shaving gal - she reminded me of fandom over-the-toppers. But they haven't resorted to gun touting yet!
