The team leader, Regan, draws a gun on him but Arthur Curry bursts through the ice and takes him out. However, checking on the location, the only thing they find is Clark’s jacket...

Episode Quotes
Tess: Per Lex’s written instructions, I’m now the acting CEO of LuthorCorp and all its subsidiaries.
Regan: You’re nothing but an obscure regional VP. You actually believe you’re qualified?
Tess: Lex believes it, that’s all that matters.
Regan: (to Green Arrow) There's a reason cowboys won the West. Playing with bows and arrows can only get you so far.
Green Arrow: Nice toss... for a fish out of water.
Aquaman: Thanks.
Black Canary: You two gonna keep stroking each other or are we gonna find Clark?
Tess: And, the floors, they've lost their sheen. You're not getting lazy, are you?
Lois: I didn't realise Lex's secretarial staff could spot a speck of dust from across the room.
Tess: I'm as much a secretary as you are a French maid. I've been so looking forward to meeting the intrepid reporter Lois Lane. So, you like to play dress-up?
Lois: If you’re not a secretary, who are you? Lex’s 4pm booty call?
Lois: I'm not here as a reporter. I'm here to find my cousin Chloe Sullivan.
Tess: I doubt she's hiding under the furniture.
Lois: Lex had her arrested by the Department of Domestic Security but the DDS claims to have no record of her. I want access to Lex's phone records from the day he made the call. I want that agent's name.
Tess: Mr. Luthor is a firm believer in truth and justice, Miss. Lane. You can rest assured if he had your cousin arrested, she was guilty.
Lois: The only thing Chloe's been guilty of is standing up for what she believes in.
Tess: By the way, next time? Might wanna try microfibre. Works wonders.
Lois: I'll keep that in mind.
Oliver: What’s the matter, huh, your batteries run out?
Clark: I’ve got a little more juice left.
Clark: How does an ice fortress disappear into thin air?
Oliver: I feel like there’s a punch line to that question.
Regan: You weren’t up there scouring the Arctic for Lex. You were looking for someone else. The Traveler.
Arthur:: Who’s that, some frequent flyer?
Oliver: Stay behind me.
Clark: No, we’ll cover more ground if we split up.
Oliver: And what are you going to do if you get caught, bite someone?
Lois: What are you doing here?
Clark: I heard they had good expresso.
Lois: You disappear for a month and come back with a sense of humor?
Clark: I’ve been tracking Chloe down. The question is, how did you get here?
Lois: Feminine charm.
Clark: Huh.
Lois: Yes, I do have some.
Clark: Great job of protecting your short supply of it.
Lois: Why don’t you give your stand-up a rest and do exactly what I tell you? That way we can find Chloe and stay alive at the same time.
Clark: I’ve written eulogies. I’ve seen people walk away from me. But I’ve never really said goodbye.
Jimmy: I am so far from perfect.
Chloe: Which is perfect for me.
Clark: I’m sorry, is this bothering you?
Lois: The chair, or you in it?
