goofs
• After Clark catches Lucy trying to steal the money, you can cleary see her with lipgloss on. Why would she put lipgloss on if its in the middle of the night?
• So when did Lana have a chance to ransack her own apartment? Jason lives with her, so it could be a good assumption that when they went out for their morning run, they left the apartment together. And gauging by Jason and Lana's conversation, when they were walking up the stairs after the workout, they aparently decided to race during their run and that it was close. So Lana couldn't have broken away then. Did she hire someone to do it? If so, it's never really established who she would trust enough with that kind of secret.
• In a couple of the shots when Clark is on the overpass, you can see the mountains of "Kansas" in the background. These of course are the mountains north of Vancouver B.C. where the show is filmed.
• Another odd thing about the mountains is that when Clark arrives, his back is to them. Then the semi approaches him from the front and goes under him. As he turns around, he should be facing the mountains but they're nowhere to be seen. They also disappear in all other subsequent shots facing in the direction the truck is heading.
• When Lucy is picking the drawer in the Talon and Clark arrives, she is behind the counter. At the end of scene she stands up from the chair in front of the counter.
