"I get it now!" Luke pushed through the crowd, yelling louder than anyone.
"The truth is right in front of us, and Katie still thinks a few tears will make people believe her? How dumb can you be?"

"For nearly twenty years, this has been her playbook: cry a little, get the Clark family on her side, and blame Selina."
