Smallville Season 5 - Episode 13 : Vengeance
Clark discovers that the new assistant at the Daily Planet, a bespectacled, bumbling woman named Andrea, is actually a mysterious female vigilante who stalks Suicide Slum. Her path crosses Clark's as they both seek the same criminal. Meanwhile, Clark's bottled-up grief threatens to get the best of him and LuthorCorp experiences a shakeup.
Full Recap
At the Kent farm, Clark is working on a tractor in the barn and he tells Martha that he is dropping out of school. Martha is going to the Governor’s office in Metropolis to check out something but she’d prefer to donate Jonathan’s things to a Metropolis mission, and gives Clark his father’s watch. He gives it back to her, saying he’d prefer she have it. Martha arrives that night in Metropolis to drop off the stuff at a mission house when two gangers approach her. When she puts up a fight near an Apex Group factory they knock her out and prepare to kill her. A mysterious woman wearing a mask steps out of the shadows and knocks one out first then goes after the other. The first man puts a knife to Martha’s throat but the vigilante displays superhuman speed and strength and knocks them out…but not before noticing a tattoo of a “13” on one man’s neck as he flees. A police helicopter flies overhead and the figure reassures the unconscious Martha then takes off into the night.
Lana shows up at the Kents but Clark is heading out and isn’t big on talking to her despite her insistence. Martha arrives and tells what happened and how they took his father’s watch. Clark meets with Chloe who is happy she has a lead on the story and Clark isn’t thrilled with her enthusiasm and is insistent on getting the watch back. He then bumps into an assistant, Andrea, who notices the vigilante pictures Chloe has from Martha’s description.
Lex shows up at the Talon to meet with Lana to apologize, and wonder how she and Clark are doing. Then he offers her a shoulder to lean on if she needs it. Chloe’s is working on the story and comes up with the vigilante’s name of “Angel of Vengeance.” Then she goes off and the Angel drops in to warn her off. Clark spots her and she’s able to send Clark flying and warns him off before leaving, claiming she’s a good guy.
Chloe is enthused about having a “good guy” vigilante but Clark concludes the Angel is the only one who can identify the robbers. Clark has a plan and sends Chloe out on the streets as bait – a masked robber grabs her but it’s Clark and her rehearsing an attempt for her to act as bait. Then the Angel shows up and Clark, now prepared, fights her. Clark pulls off her mask and she is revealed as the assistant, Andrea. Then she knocks Clark into a generator and leaps off again. Clark is able to superspeed catch up to her and they meet face to face.
Lionel is considering a revolver, a gift from an overseas partner, and Lex comes in to give him grief about acting from surprise and his involvement with the Chinese to fund the Apex Group’s takeover of LuthorCorp. Lionel is proud of his actions and points out Lex can’t do anything after financing his campaign. Lionel warns “he has returned” and Lex stalks out.
Clark and Andrea are talking about how she got a heart transplant from a girl who died during the last meteor shower. She carries a lead-shielded piece of kryptonite which briefly weakens Clark. Clark then tries to get info on the robbers and she relents when he reveals it was from his dad. Andrea reveals how two robbers killed her mother and knifed her in the heart, and now she fights against the dealers, the robbers, and the businessmen who prey on the poor. She tells Clark that they’re members of the 13th street gang and she’ll help him go after them.
Martha comes in to visit with Chloe and is concerned about Clark’s absence. Chloe tells her about Clark’s feelings and Martha is worried Clark will take out his anger on the robbers. The masked Andrea and Clark approach the gang and find one of the men, Ono, who robbed Martha, but not the one with the watch. The other ones go for their guns and a concerned Clark leads Andrea off. Clark then uses his superhearing to pick up the guy calling his buddy, Snake, and grabs the phone at superspeed. He has Chloe check the cell phone – Andrea takes over and they call an escort service to place an “order” to the same address, but neither Clark or Andrea want Chloe to call in the police. Clark ignores Chloe’s advice to take it easy and superspeeds off – Andrea goes off to keep an eye on him.
Clark confront Snake and tosses him around, and Snake admits he sold the watch. Andrea shows up in costume to encourage him to kill the man. Clark refuses and Andrea uses her piece of kryptonite on him and goes after Snake – he’s the man who killed her mother before. Snake reveals he was hired to kill her mother by a guy working for Lionel Luthor. She kills the man as Clark can only look on in horror.
Lionel is back at the LuthorCorp building and Lex is sparring with him about the takeover bid. Lex suggests he might tell Martha about Lionel’s meeting with Jonathan right before his death and when Lionel caves, tells him to get out. Ono shows up and goes for Clark, but moves Clark off of the kryptonite. Clark cleans his clock and heads off to the LuthorCorp building as Andrea busts in and confronts Lionel. Lionel tries to appeal to her because they’re both orphans, and Clark shows up to try to talk her out of it as she dangles her over the ledge. Clark points out her mother wouldn’t want her to kill Lionel. She relents but drops Lionel out the window forcing Clark to grab him while she makes her escape rather then be captured.
Martha is at the Kent barn remembering Jonathan as she goes through her things, when Lionel shows up to offer his sympathies. He reveals the governor has asked Martha to take Jonathan’s place as Senator, and he turns down the payment Jonathan tried to give him for his loan. He offers any assistance she needs – as a friend – before taking off. At the Daily Planet, Clark finds that Andrea has left and Chloe has no idea where she is. Clark acknowledges he was ready to kill a man before he “heard” Jonathan’s voice and realized he wouldn’t have wanted Clark to kill someone.
Clark returns to the barn and finds his father’s watch – Lana is there and reveals she searched every pawnshop in Metropolis to find it. Clark apologizes and they seem to resolve their issues. Going into the house, Clark finds Martha watching videotapes of Jonathan with Clark as a young boy. When it’s done, the two embrace and cry.
