Smallville: Chloe Chronicles - Season 2 Episode 7 Chronicle 11

After Pete and Chloe escape from the burning laboratory, Lionel Luthor drives up in his limousine. They tell him that they are working on a school project just as the lab explodes. Lionel offers them a ride, but they decline. He threatens to call the authorities and Chloe threatens to expose his involvement in Sarah Strossberg's death. Lionel makes another threat using the same monster fish metaphor that Dr. Arthur Walsh used in his video to his son. When they return to the Torch office, Chloe summarizes that the secret lab was flooded when Wade's Pond drained into it after the explosion. Chloe suspects that Lionel Luthor has been after Dr. Jamison's research for a long time, so she not going to publish the story about the meteor freaks or their cure. It would be a disaster if Lionel Luthor were somehow able to gain the same powers that Dr. Jamison discovered.
