This episode is absolute garbage. With some heavy themes of sexual assault, domestic abuse, man-on-woman violence... the episode is largely focused on the emotions of Clark and Lex! It's almost cool that Lana is able to save herself but total nonsense that she's "all better now" from the trauma of being assaulted and almost raped TWICE. Helen also seems fine after being violently assaulted and almost murdered, and the focus on Lex's feelings at the end instead of him comforting her after a trauma... wild stuff.
