I've always thought that Nigel and Lex both have a 'sound.' And I've never been able to get anywhere close to it. But Nigel is just right here, so chilling. This, especially:
"It's a common failing of the those who are confident in their own abilities when they undertake what they think is merely an undercover operation." He paused, adding a dramatic effect. "They refuse to see that they have actually become what they thought they were only pretending to be."
Just feel like Henderson is walking into an already spun web...
Then, there was this:
And even after a few months Lois could see that it was the man behind the spandex who'd made Superman who he was, not the powers. The powers just made it easier for him to be who he was. So, of course, if he saw someone needing help, he had to help. It was an instinctive reaction.
Loved that for how smart it is. And that Clark can't just turn his back, or even do the safer thing, call for help. He just goes, and lol'ed at his 'it doesn't even hurt to breathe any more!'
But what I found most poignant, and subsequently, makes me worried, was Bill in his apartment, in his old chair. A lonely picture you painted with little touches:
He shook his head. A meaningless gesture, being alone in a dark room.
You're going to kill Henderson, aren't you, Tank??!
Since I'm thinking you won't come right out and reassure me, I'm just going to start preparing myself for that.
And, yeah, Arianna and Nigel and Dr Mamba...that canNOT be good. But this part really, really was.

Clark's got beaten up and is all battered and bruised (
- hug
He can't be getting himself into yet more trouble, can he? He'd better not... 
Henderson in love with Lois? 
Not good.
