Synopsis:
Lex tries to decide whether or not to unearth information that will ruin Jonathan and Martha's lives to get a leg up in the senate election. When he is shot and left for dead during a mugging, he enters into a dream state in which his mother guides him through a life where he turned his back on wealth and power for happiness where he is married to a very-pregnant Lana. While Lex lives his life in his coma-induced state, his father takes the risky measure of a surgery, which may kill him instead of save him. When Lex awakens and realizes that to give up his current path may lead to Lana's death, he decides to face his destiny of power full on and destroy the Kents. Meanwhile, Chloe enlists Clark to help use his abilities in service of poor children on Christmas and he saves the life of someone far more important to Christmas.
