Fortune - Recap

Lois comes downstairs in a fancy dress and Clark greets her. Their friends are there to take them out on their respective bachelor and bachelorette parties. Emil Hamilton takes video as Oliver, Tess, and Chloe prepare to take the happy couple out. Oliver offers a toast from the bottle of champagne first, and Chloe says they've been the best friends she could ever ask for. She assures Clark and Lois that they' are all there to support them.



The next morning Clark wakes up in his bed with a hangover, and an S burned into the ceiling. A lemur is sitting on his chest and the room is in disarray. He hears a noise from the closet and discovers Chloe inside, wearing a wedding dress... and a wedding ring. After locking up the lemur, they hope that they didn't consummate their relationship, and go downstairs to discover the house is filled with items taken from all over Metropolis. Neither one of them remembers what happened, and Clark notes that alcohol doesn't affect him. They check the bottle of champagne and realize that Zatanna sent it, and that it has a magic spell on it. Clark gets a call from the police and they inform him that they found his wallet on the hood of a limo downtown. Chloe and Clark go there and find the limo with "Just Married" written on it. Clark confirms he got a text message from Lois saying that he needs more time, and he figures that the stress pushed her away. Chloe doesn't believe that her cousin would get wedding jitters, but Clark notes that Lois has left several times in the past. They find Emil's glasses and pants in the limo, and half of a wedding certificate. Chloe's name is on the half they have, and she figures that they're married. Clark tries to superspeed off but stumbles. Two girls go past and Chloe sees that they're wearing shirts with Emil on them... wearing an Elvis Presley costume. The girls are watching a video of Emil performing at a bar. Clark goes to find Emil while Chloe heads for Watchtower.

Emil is performing with Tess in a go-go outfit providing backup. Clark arrives and the limo chauffeur greets him. She says that Lois was gone by the time she came back to pick up Clark at the Chapel of Love. Two police officers come in and arrest Emil for the theft of an armored car that he made disappear into thin air. Tess points out that Clark is the only one who could have done it.




Lois and Oliver wake up on the railroad tracks outside of Metropolis. Their cell phones are gone, and Lois doesn't want to call Clark because her engagement ring is gone.

Clark and Tess go to Watchtower and try to find the armored car, and Tess feels guilty for getting Emil to try the champagne. When Chloe arrives, Tess offers to let her use the computers, but Chloe says that Tess is doing fine. Tess comes up with security footage of the stolen armored car and activates its electronic system. Clark listens for it and heads to the Kent farm, where the armored car is stored in the barn. It's filled with money.

Lois and Oliver walk back into town, and Oliver says he'll buy her a new ring. Lois refuses, insisting she doesn't want to perpetuate a lie. He figures that Clark will understand, but she insists they can't tell Clark. Lois finds a casino chip for the Fortune Casino in her bra, and Oliver figures that's where they were the previous night.



Back at Watchtower, Clark laments how reckless he was. Tess assures him that he was just acting human, and Chloe assures him that they'll rally around him. She confirms that Emil isn't at the police station under arrest, and they wonder where he is.

The two thugs have taken Emil to the Fortune Casino and beat him on behalf of their boss, Fortune. Emil insists that he didn't steal an armored car, but Fortune shows him a video of the partygoers stumbling across two men capturing the armored car driver. The armored car vanishes and Fortune zooms in on Emil. The casino owner is particularly unhappy that his lemur was in the armored car when it disappeared. Emil realizes that Clark was protecting the van and that Fortune's two thugs were the robbers. Fortune tells his men to break Emil to find out who his friends are.

Oliver and Lois go to the Fortune Casino and a bouncer confirms that Lois lost her ring in a bet to the owner. She realizes that Fortune set her up, and spots the owner wearing her ring. The bouncers take the couple backstage and handcuff them together on a chair. Once they're alone, they work together to shuffle over to a pole so Oliver can cut through the tape. Lois blames herself for messing up what she intended to be a perfect wedding. She figures that Clark wouldn't lose his ring, and laments being married to a perfect man. They free themselves but Lois refuses to go without the ring. The guards cut off their exit and the only way out is the stage where the showgirls are performing.



Chloe uses the footage to identify the robbers as workers at the casino. She and Clark arrive at the casino and realize that Lois and Oliver are up on stage... both disguised as showgirls. As Chloe spots them, Lois tries to get close to Fortune, but he's more impressed with Oliver. However, he spots Chloe and recognizes her, and a fight breaks out. Lois knocks the ring off of Fortune's hand and crawls across the floor after it, Oliver attacks the thugs, and Chloe grabs a pair of guns from one of the guards. As Chloe brings the chandelier down, Lois grabs the ring and Fortune grabs her. However, Oliver knocks him out just in time.



Fortune's men prepare to torture Emil using a vice on his head, and he realizes that Fortune is running an insurance scam. Clark arrives in time to knock both men out and free his friend.

Later, Clark meets Chloe at the loft and says they have one thing to undo. Chloe tells him that the Chapel dismissed the incident as a drunk prank and they're not really married. Clark admits the whole thing reminded him of the good old days, and he realizes that Chloe is preparing to go. She admits that she has to go and doesn't want Oliver to have to choose her over his life as a hero. Clark assures her that she's been more than a teammate, and Chloe says that she wants to devote her time to inspiring other heroes. She's created a double identity for herself as a reporter in Star City, Oliver's hometown. They assure each other that they'll always be there for each other.



At Watchtower, Tess compliments Emil on his singing and admits that she's surprised and pleased to see him with a special power of his own. He admits that he hasn't done something like that since his wife passed away, and Tess tells him not to give it up because she wouldn't have wanted him to. The others arrive with the camera from the limo and set it up to play. Lois and Clark talk and she asks him to forgive her. He insists there's nothing to forgive and that she's what's important, not the ring. He admits that he wondered if he had scared her off, but says that he's willing to wait for her as long as it takes.

The tape starts and they watch themselves get drunk, celebrating, and Clark saving the armored car. Chloe slips way as the tape reveals Tess and Emil going back to her office at the Daily Planet to have sex, and Tess hastily stops the machine.



Oliver follows Chloe outside and tells her that he knows she's leaving. He has something for her: the other half of the wedding certificate, with his name on it. They kiss and he notes that he figured she took a job in his hometown for a reason.
