Episode Synopsis: “Bulletproof” – Clark (Tom Welling) discovers John Jones (guest star Phil Morris) was shot while working as a police officer, so Clark dons the uniform and goes undercover to find the culprit. Meanwhile, Lana (Kristin Kreuk) confronts Tess (Cassidy Freeman) and tells her Lex isn’t the man she thinks he is. Lana’s shocking news forces Tess to reevaluate her position as the head of LuthorcCorp. Morgan Beggs directed the episode written by Bryan Miller.
This was a very well written, acted, directed, edited, and scored episode. All around this was a great episode that had all the drama, action, and inspiration that the highest rated shows on TV are putting out.
