He meets Lex Luthor, who is also trapped in Lana's subconscious, and the two men have a tense conversation about their respective relationships with Lana.

Meanwhile, Chloe Sullivan is investigating the death of a scientist who was working on a top-secret project for LuthorCorp. She discovers that the project was designed to transport people into a virtual reality world. Chloe tracks down the project's lead scientist and convinces him to use the device to enter Lana's subconscious and bring her back to reality.

Clark faces a series of challenges in Lana's subconscious, and as he progresses, he uncovers secrets about her past that make him question whether he ever really knew her at all. He also realizes that the only way to save Lana is to confront his own fears and doubts about their relationship.
