Recap
At the Metropolis Museum, Oliver is preparing for the gala exhibition of Egyptian artifacts with the curator, Adrianna. She wants him to zip in from the skylight in costume as Green Arrow, but insists he wears a helmet and use a safety wire for insurance purposes. Adrianna then tells him that the Green Arrow Girls will be coming after he arrives. Tess, arriving, is amused at the whole thing and notes that Oliver has titled the gala, "Isis, The Tale of Eternal Love." He insists he believes in the story, and Tess figures that he's sending Chloe a message. She warns Oliver that he's become a parody of himself, but Oliver insists he's giving something back to the city. When Tess warns him that it isn't real love, he wonders if she even knows what real love is. Adrianna returns to tell Oliver that the Amulet of Isis has been stolen, and that it is rumored to have a curse. Whoever possesses it will spend eternity in Hell...Read the full recap

Cat Grant: Won't this be the greatest? Working together again? Our names look terrific side-by-side on that byline. It's like we were meant to be partners, Clark. You're the Popeye to my Olive. The Mickey to my Minnie.

Isis: You would not risk the world for her?
Clark: Not for such a selfish reason.
Isis: Then do not pretend what you feel is love. For thousands of years, my heart beat only for one. What you know of these things is but the wisdom of a child.

Oliver: There's got to be an easier way for a girl to get a date in this town.
Isis: Your heart is brave. But I can see it belongs to a lonely soul. A warrior with a vacant heart. You try to fill it, but the harder you try, the emptier it becomes.
Oliver: Yeah, well, I may be lonely, but I'm still going to kick your Egyptian ass.

Oliver: Sometimes you have to watch things from a distance to see them more clearly.
Oliver: Sometimes you have to watch things from a distance to see them more clearly.
Oliver: God, I miss her. I miss her laugh, and, uh, her strength. The way her eyes lit up when I entered the room. She really loved me. I gave her a secret that was too hard to hold on to. She paid the price for keeping it.
Tess: Oliver, when it comes to you, no price was too high for Chloe.
Oliver: I guess you can still spot real love. I'm sorry for what I said.
Tess: Don't be. It's the truth. And there hasn't been a lot of that in my life. Just like there hasn't been a lot of love.
Tess: Oliver, when it comes to you, no price was too high for Chloe.

Tess: Alexander's staying with me.
Child Psychologist: With all due respect, you flew me here to observe the boy.
Tess: He doesn't need to be watched, doctor. He needs to be loved.
Child Psychologist: And you think you can do that? The boy's stability is in question. Ultimately he may prove dangerous. Why would you risk your safety? What do you see that I don't?
Tess: His heart.

Lois: What I'm really trying to say to you is that I know you.
Clark: But you don't know the Blur. He's probably keeping it a secret for a reason.
Lois: He's never going to tell me, is he?
Clark: Not if it means putting your life at risk.
Lois: I wish he knew that I was willing to take that risk.
Clark: But you don't know the Blur. He's probably keeping it a secret for a reason.
Lois: He's never going to tell me, is he?
Clark: Not if it means putting your life at risk.
Lois: I wish he knew that I was willing to take that risk.
Clark: All my life I've been afraid, Lois. Afraid of people knowing the truth about me. Afraid of them rejecting me. And even if they didn't, still losing them. I've been afraid of everything I can't control. But when I was faced with the idea of losing you forever, it made me realize there's something I would regret more than anything else. And that's not telling you the truth about me. I guess that's the only way we could share a life together. I know the odds are stacked against us, and we'd be risking everything. But if you're ready to take that leap, there's no one else that I want to take that leap with. Lois, you've had a lot of questions about the Blur. It's me. I'm the Blur.
