Erica Durance and Aaron Ashmore do not appear in this episode.

Lana: I came home and Clark was gone. He talked about going to the Fortress.
Chloe: Last time he went to the Fortress, Jor-El trapped him in ice for a month. Why would he chance the big chill a second time?

Patricia Swann: He was obsessed with one subject in particular - a traveler from another galaxy who came to Smallville in a meteor shower.
Lionel: A great scientist with a vivid imagination.
Patricia Swann: My father wasn't the only one who believed in the Traveler. Four powerful families would gather every summer - my dad, the Queens, the Teagues and you. According to his journals, the group formed a secret society, Veritas.
Lionel: Veritas, that's right, our astronomy club.
Patricia Swann: You were preparing to welcome the Traveler. The group planned on sharing the responsibility of keeping him safe once he arrived. But, everyone died... except you.
Lionel: Where are you going with this?
Patricia Swann: You killed Edward Teague and Robert and Laura Queen. And, I am sure you had a hand in my father's death.
Lionel: Pity his brilliance was lost on you.

Patricia Swann: Turn over the son of Krypton or I will release the evidence linking you to their murders.
Lionel: The traveler from another galaxy... a clandestine cabal... a series of murders... ooh, that's quite a story. You be careful who you tell it to.
Patricia Swann: Don't test me, Lionel. Take me to the Traveler now.
Lionel: You haven't changed. You're still that bossy, little girl you used to be. This time, Patty, you're swimming way outta your depth.

Lana: Lex likes to keep his women on a short leash.
Chloe: Sounds like a choke chain if you ask me.

Patricia Swann: Somehow, I never pictured the last son of Krypton making coffee.

Clark: Lex and Lionel are only capable of doing the right thing if it benefits them. I want to see the good in people, Kara, but I think the Luthors are a lost cause.
