(edit)

Chloe: You know, having a gang of superheroes is great in theory, but no one ever considers the shipping costs. (edit) Lex: Zeus' right hand couldn't muster a storm that would keep me from Zurich. (edit) Chloe: (to Clark) You do realize that your greatest superpower is your ability to win me over with just one look, no matter how ridiculous you sound, right? (edit) Chloe: Maybe the Olsen's not so wholesome after all.
Jimmy: I'm just getting started. (edit) Chloe: Why didn't you come to me like a normal boyfriend?
Jimmy: 'Cause a normal boyfriend doesn't get lied to every five minutes by the girl that he thinks he's in love with. (edit)

The journal page says 1989, and Chloe says it's referring to 1989. but then Clark says Kara is 20 years in the past. But then Clark says Kara is talking about the version of him "20 years ago." 1989 would be 19 years ago. (edit) When the figure at the beginning climbs through the ventilator shaft and opens a grille, he simply lifts it up. Ventilator grilles are fastened with screws. (edit) Chloe mentions that she's packing to move, and then lies to Jimmy and says she needs to talk to the building manager about the rent. What building manager? She lives above the Talon, which is owned by Lex. If he had kicked her out, she'd be out already, but at the beginning of the episode she's still living there. (edit) Why does Clark text Chloe to have her meet him in Smallville? A) he has superspeed so he could meet her anywhere in a matter of minutes, and b) why make her drive all the way from Metropolis to Smallville if the matter's so urgent? (edit) Chloe says, "Well, Krypton 1989--give or take a few light-years." A light year is a unit of distance (approx. 6 trillion miles), not time. (edit)

Chloe: Okay, this entry didn't just Rita Skeeter itself into Swann's journal.
Referencing the fictional reporter created by J.K. Rowling and who first appeared in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Rita works for the Witch Weekly and has a habit of making up stories or spinning them to suit her personal agenda. She uses magical means to record her interviews. (edit)
