Smallville: Scare

I am confused about Lionel Luthor. Now that he is honest, he acknowledges that he is guilty of many crimes that should have put him in prison although not the one for which he was convicted? But we thought that he had murdered his parents. In fact, he confessed it to Chloe. And who got him released?

He wants to stay in prison to continue doing good with other prisoners but it is not for him to say whether he stays or goes.

The situation keeps changing. Jason has left Lana without explanation. Martha, who once worked for Lionel, now works for Lana.

A drug that gives everyone their worst nightmares, used by the military, features in Frank Miller's The Dark Knight. Here, we see Lex as President again.
