Smallville: Asylum (2004)
Season 3, Episode 9
10/10
Nasty Lionel Luthor
11 May 2006
Lionel Luthor forces the shrink Dr. Claire Foster to submit Lex Luthor to electroshocks to erase his memory and forget his crime. Clark Kent tries to save his friend, but Eric Summers (from "Leech"), Van McNulty (from "Extinction") and Ian Randall (from "Dichotic") plot a plan to attack him and escape from the asylum. Meanwhile, Lana Lang is recovering the movements of her wounded leg with the support of the patient Adam Knight (Ian Somerhalder, the Boone Carlyle from "Lost").

"Asylum" is a great episode of "Smallville", with outstanding performances of John Glover and Michael Rosenbaum. This episode is certainly one of the best of this series, with intense dramatic situations and also lots of action with Clark struggling against two powerful enemies. Lionel Luthor is really a nasty character, especially when he says "-Lex, my son.". My vote is ten.

Title (Brazil): "Sanatório" ("Asylum")
