- Why did Clark let Chloe face Kara alone? Her argument that the Kryptonite would affect Clark was valid, but surely he could've been nearby watching the whole thing from a safe distance with his X-ray vision. Just because Chloe had kryptonite didn't guarantee her safety even without the knowledge that Kara was Brainiac in disguise. edit »
- In Teague's Argentinian passport at the day of birth it is written: 16th Junio (June). The "th" expression doesn't exist in Spanish the correct would be to write "16 de Junio". edit »
- Trivia: At no point in season 7 did Clark use his super-breath ability. This makes this the first season that he did not use all of his powers at some point throughout it. edit »
- Lex smashed a hole in the stone fixture above his fireplace to uncover the device in "Quest" yet it appeared undamaged in this episode. edit »
- Lex: Who am I to turn my back on my fellow man? Especially after you turned your back on me? I'm sorry, Clark. But you are the Traveler. You hold the future of the entire planet in your hands. I'm here to take it back.
Clark: Lex...
Lex: You'll never threaten the world again... Kal-El. edit » - Brainiac: This is a simple matter of self-preservation. When I couldn't kill you, I knew I had to control you.
Clark: I'm in control now. And you will release Chloe! You'll release Lana!
Brainiac: The only way to save them would be to kill me now, in cold blood. Which goes against everything you stand for. You could never deliberately take another man's life.
Clark: You're not a man. You're a machine. edit » - Lana: (to Clark) I need you... but the world needs you more. edit »
- Chloe: (pulls kryptonite out on Kara) Why isn't it working?
Kara: Check the expiration date? edit » - Kara: You know, for the last surviving member of a secret society, you're not a very good liar. edit »
- Jimmy: I found out something about those mystery expeditions he's been sending to the North Pole.
Lois: Either he's planning a hostile takeover of Santa's workshop, or he's doing something illegal. And since I'm sure Lex isn't into the Christmas spirit, what's the scoop. edit » - Jimmy: Look, Lex, I would really like to help, but lying, it's just, uh, you know, it's not my thing. It's eating me up. It's actually… it's making my stomach hurt.
Lex: Well it's never too late to learn a new skill. edit » - Kara: Why is it every time I bring up Veritas, people seem to suffer from sudden amnesia? edit »
- Brainiac: (to Chloe) I'm impressed. I wouldn't have thought a member of your weak-willed species, especially a friend of Kal-El's, could ever use kryptonite against his cousin. edit »
- Jimmy: You know what? Maybe I should… yeah, I'll carry you upstairs.
Chloe: Jimmy, we're climbing the stairs to the Talon, not scaling the mountains of Tibet. I'm fine. edit » - Lex: (looking at the Fortress) I must admit, Clark. This is a big step up from the barn.
Clark: It's not what you think, Lex. You don't understand.
Lex: For the first time, I think I do. You see, you live among us as a mild-mannered farm boy. But secretly, you're a strange visitor from anther planet, plotting our demise.
Clark: That's not what I'm doing at all.
Lex: It's a brilliant disguise, Clark. You don't even need a mask.
Clark: I'm not your enemy, Lex. I've never done anything to hurt you.
Lex: You didn't trust me. With everything you had, with everything you could do, did you ever think about what we could have accomplished together? I would have helped you become a hero. edit » - Chloe: Jimmy, I realize that I was the one that was just in the ICU, but you seem to be the one with marred motor skills. edit »
- Kara: I'd always thought the Traveler was meant for good. Even he thinks he is. When I went home to Krypton, I learned the truth about his fate. He won't save mankind. He'll destroy it.
Lex: Who is it?
Kara: Don't you already know? edit » - Clark: Have you come into contact with red kryptonite--a ring, a necklace?
Kara: I stopped wearing jewelry. edit » - Lex: I loved you like a brother, Clark. But it has to end this way. I'm sorry. edit »

- In the commercials advertising the latter part of this season, there was a very heavily emphasized clip featuring Lex, in full arctic-gear, approaching and discovering the Fortress of Solitude from the outside. That scene was absent from this episode, the only episode it could have occurred in. Presumably it was cut for time's sake. edit »
